Hi all,

I have a problem with my computer (Pentium II 300 - 3C905B 'Cyclone'
EtherCard - RedHat 5.1 2.0.35). I installed the driver 3c59x ver. 0.99G in
my kernel, but i can't emit/receive on my LAN.
I give you some copy/paste :

ifconfig :

Some pings from my computer :

When i ping my machine from another machine on the LAN, i have no
response. 


I don't know what's the problem. Can someone help me ?
