[Apologies for the long message but having looked back at previous posts,
I've tried to gather all the diagnostic data together.]
I have just installed Fedora Core 2 on an old 300-Mhz Gateway PC but the
network is not working.
The primary symptoms are (see output below):
(1) Destination Host Unreachable when ping'ing the default router
(2) Numerous "eth0: transmit timed out entries" from /var/log/messages
(3) TX errors in ifconfig
(4) Transmit errs from /proc/net/dev
In addition to the above I have include the following diagnostic data (see
below):
(A) netstart -nr
(B) A "loopback" ping
(C) vortex-diag -aem
(D) mii-diag
The Gateway, and its LAN card last worked with RHv9 a couple of months ago.
I have tried different patch cables and ports on my hub. The latter is
working for other PCs (WinXP) on my network.
Thanks in advance for any replies,
Ian.
