Re: Network card installation

[Jim Reynolds <reynolds exotrope net>]

David,

This is a dual boot machine, linux/win95.  The network card is working
ok on the win95 side.  On the linux side, I can't ping or telnet to or
from. On bootup I get the "delaying eth0 initialization" message. 
Ifconfig shows no Rx/Tx packets being transmitted.  I wonder if the
tulip driver is being loaded.  Where do I check on that?

Like NFS, Samba, etc.  In order to evaluate the connectivity you've established you can use ping, Telnet, ftp, traceroute and ifconfig.  For starters...run ifconfig at the command line and see if you have basic connectivity.  Then ping other IPs and have other IPs ping you.  See if you can find your box using the IP name not IP.  See if you can Telnet in.  If you can do these you established basic connectivity and can move on to more interesting configuration options.
