Still "Network unreachable" so no progress here despite numerous
attempts over the past 10 months. I eventually found that my NIC was
faulty and exchanged it for a functional one. The network consists of my
own machine (RH 7.2) and a Win95 machine. Both cards have tested fine
(working well in other networks). I have switched cables and the cable I
now use is fine (also tested on another network).
Pinging gives me
ping 192.168.0.3
PING 192.168.0.3 (192.168.0.3) from 192.168.0.1 : 56(84) bytes of data.

ifconfig gives me

dmesg gives me
NE*000 ethercard probe at 0x300: 00 00 b4 82 9f fc
eth0: NE2000 found at 0x300, using IRQ 9.
which is correct as I manually set the card (ISA) to these values. dmesg
also gives me
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Tx timed out, lost interrupt? TSR=0x3, ISR=0x2, t=119.
I had trouble-free networking up until I upgraded from RH 6.2 to RH 7.0
and I have had no networking since. I have exhausted my patience with
this thing and need help. Any takers?
