Networking Trouble - Any Ideas
by Steve Fosdick 13 Sep '02

13 Sep '02

At home here I have a notebook and desktop PC and I can connect between them via a hub and everything works but when I try a crossover cable instead I get one way transmission, from the desktop to the notebook. Thinking it could be a cable fault I connected the cable the other way found (so the pairs in use were the opposite way round) but still the notebook could see packets coming from the desktop and not the other way round. Does anyone have any tips? The desktop is running kernel 2.4.29 and the following is from 'dmesg' for when the crossover cable is in use: natsemi.c:v1.07 1/9/2001 Written by Donald Becker <becker(a)scyld.com> http://www.scyld.com/network/natsemi.html (unofficial 2.4.x kernel port, version 1.07+LK1.0.14, Nov 27, 2001 Jeff Garzik, Tjeerd Mulder) AMD756: dev 100b:0020, router pirq : 2 get irq : 11 PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0a.0 eth0: NatSemi DP8381[56] at 0xf0929000, 00:a0:cc:7b:33:e6, IRQ 11. eth0: link up. eth0: Setting full-duplex based on negotiated link capability. eth0: Autonegotiation advertising 0x5e1 partner 0x00. Reverting back to the hub, I get, again from the desktop: eth0: link up. eth0: Link wake-up event 0x40020b eth0: Autonegotiation advertising 0x5e1 partner 0x21. eth0: Setting half-duplex based on negotiated link capability.

Networking Trouble.. stupid ass of Windows 98.
by Craig 13 Sep '02

Since there is a steady increase in networking problems ;) But a bit off here and it is windows trouble ;) At the moment, I have 3 boxes (and a fourth one coming soon) hooked up onto a hub. Router = Linux Workstation = Linux Workstation2 = Windows 98 Now I have set Windows 98 networking to the correct IP, gateway address and DNS. But it doesn't see Workstation + the Router! No ping replies, heck the internet isn't there! I cannot ping it from my workstation/router to workstation2 at all. First thought is the cable connection.. Nothing there. Checked IP etc.. seems fine. Don't suggest 'Linux' on Workstation2 since various people in this household wants to use it ;) Just a thought if anyone actually know a fix to this stupid problem... Or I could start teaching Linux to those people ;) -- (o_ .----------------------------------------. //\ | Craig Butcher | http://www.wizball.co.uk| V_/_ | - Using Gentoo GNU/Linux - | `----------------------------------------'

There is one guy named 'MJC' who did the mjc patches to the kernel.
