[ Humbug *General* list - semi-serious discussions about Humbug and  ]
[ Unix-related topics.  Please observe the list's charter.           ]
[ Worthwhile understanding: http://www.humbug.org.au/netiquette.html ]

Ever since I upgraded from RH 6.2 to RH 7.0 I have been without 
networking. Under RH 6.2 I had a happily running network with a Win 95 
machine using two NE2000 compatible NIC's.  I have since upgraded to RH 
7.2 and I still have not been able to get it working. According to dmesg 
the kernel is detecting the card and the correct IRQ number but NETDEV 
WATCHDOG spots a problem:

NE*000 ethercard probe at 0x300: 00 00 b4 82 a2 0e
eth0: NE2000 found at 0x300, using IRQ 9.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Tx timed out, lost interrupt? TSR=0x3, ISR=0x2, t=120.

Card details (port address, IRQ, card_id) are coming up OK in the KDE 
Network Configuration tool.
Ping gives the following:

[pcor at apple pcor]$ ping kids
PING kids.fruit.org.au (192.168.0.2) from 192.168.0.1 : 56(84) bytes of 
data.

--- kids.fruit.org.au ping statistics ---
6 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss

netstat -rnv gives:

The configuration on the Win 95 machine ran perfectly before the upgrade 
and appears to be OK according to the Network Neighbourhood properties tool.

The cable checks out OK.

Can anybody help me? I really do need this network now and my knowledge 
of this stuff is not great.

Thanks.

Paul Cornford.
