Hi everybody,
I have already read carefully all of the archived messages about =
Conexant Combo and tulip drivers for Compaq Presario. =20
I have a Compaq Presario XL366, with a Conexant Combo 10/100 NIC Modem =
running RH 6.2, kernel 2.2.19.
I have installed all of the stuff, and it seems that there is no =
problem, the NIC is identified, even answers local pings, but I can not =
make any connection over the network. Jan Egil Magelie reported this =
same problem before, and he solved by installing RH 7.1, kernel 2.4.x . =
At this point I have already installed an configured several servers: =
BIND, APACHE-SSL, QMAIL, POP... and everything works fine locally, but =
the external connections. I would not like to reinstall everything =
again!!!
Here you will find the information I have gathered:
