i recently installed Colgate on a new PPro/200 with a big Quantum Fireball
EIDE drive, and an old 3C-503/16 network card. the install worked fine,
and i had all my codes ftp'd over and up and running (faster than our old
Alpha...) in very little time.
then the Buslogic BT-958 host adapter and Seagate Baracuda i had ordered
arrived, and i merrily went about re-installing the system onto the SCSI
drive (package install time dropped from 13 min on the EIDE to 7.5 min on
the SCSI!!!). the system works just fine, EXCEPT that my network is now
dead. /var/log/messages and ifconfig indicate that the card was detected,
and most of the system seems to think that it does, in fact, exist.
however, running ping, ifconfig, tcpdump -i, and looking at /proc/net/dev
all indicate that packets are going out but none (zilch) are coming in (i
suppose that none may be going out, as well, but the system seems to think
that they are...).
i've tried re-seating the network card, replacing the network card,
relocating the computer to another network line, and always get the same
results, so i think it's the OS which is somehow confused. unfortunately,
i can no longer boot into the EIDE system, so i dont have that diagnostic
available...
i now have a $4k paper weight on my desk.
whu'happened?!? please, somebody help... please.
thanks for listening,
-matt nelson
