Hi Jenny,

AS a thought, did you install the card, and then load the module after all the other services had started? That would explain why you can telnet but samba and apache don't seem to be visable from outside.

Make sure the ethernet card is configured before the other services.

try typing

service smb restart service httpd restart

if you have not rebooted your machine.

I don't know what distro you're using, but the service command works with Redhat and Mandrake.

Hope that helps

Hi all! I've just replaced the 3com 10mb on my work box with a realtek 8139 100mb. The card is working, I can ping other machines on the network, telnet in to linuxbox from my windows machine, use my samba share, BUT the linux box is no longer appearing in the windows network neighbourhood, and the inranet site served up from linuxbox won't display over the network (it will display using lynx on itself). Is there a file in debian where I can check the settings for a card, eg check it is configured to use TCP/IP (I think ping is UDP)? Thanks, Jenny.
