Re: [Sheflug] RE: Darrells Smoothwall/Network hassles

[Darrell Blake <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah I'm using a network coax as well as network T connectors and 
terminators. The card on the main machine is an NE2000 I think and the card 
on the smoothwall machine is a W3 something or other. It's another popular 
card but I can't remember what it is. I've typed in ifconfig on both machines 
and this is what I got...

Main Machine
----------

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:E8:DF:DD:56
          inet addr:192.168.1.2  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0      
    UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:9 Base address:0xda00

Smoothwall Machine
---------------

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:C0:A6:DF:65
          inet addr:192.168.1.1  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0      
    UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0x310 Memory:cc000-d0000

When I pinged the machines though I did notice that the TX packets gave an 
error of 1.
