Hi everybody,


I am having a  problem just after I've tried to upgrade my Linux from
Conectiva RedHat 3.0  to Conectiva  RedHat 4.0

I've also tried the original RedHat 6.0 and Mandrake but,
unfortunately all of
these versions have the same problem.

I looked for the answer in the HOW-TO's and tried to install in all
modes but with no success

The problem:


I CAN 'ping' to all machines in the nework - even using names. It
works OK.
When I conect to a server using ftp or telnet, after the answer about
my password, the terminal does not answer anymore.
If I use Netscape, the browser doesn't show some pictures and it
hangs. 
I cannot use the ftp even inside Netscape.

If I use a remote conection by telephone (PPP) all the programs work
OK.

Using a tip in one of the HOW-TO's I've got the following information
about the PCMCIA cards (using cardctl command):

Identification:


Socket 0:
product info: "IBM Corp.", "Ethernet", "0934214",
"PC-NIC
ENCC990010759-001A"
manfid: 0x00a4, 0x0002
function: 6 (network)
Socket 1:
product info: " ", "PCMCIA 33.6/14.4 Data/Fax Modem",
"Version
1.51", "Card Assy Part No. 85H8059"
manfid: 0x00a4, 0x0039
function: 2 (serial)


configuration:


Socket 0:
Vcc = 5.0, Vpp1 = 0.0, Vpp2 = 0.0
Interface type is memory and I/O
IRQ 5 is exclusive, level mode, enabled
Function 0:
Config register base = 0x20000
Option = 0x41, status = 0000, copy = 0000
I/O window 1: 0x0300 to 0x031f, auto sized

Socket 1:
Vcc = 5.0, Vpp1 = 0.0, Vpp2 = 0.0
Interface type is memory and I/O
IRQ 9 is exclusive, level mode, enabled
Speaker output is enabled
Function 0:
Config register base = 0x0200
Option = 0x61, status = 0x08, pin = 0000, ext =
0000
I/O window 1: 0x02f8 to 0x02ff, 8 bit



My laptop is a thinkpad 760EL and I've also tried to upgrade the BIOS
but it didn't fix the problem. (I've also tried to change the card and
the hd ...)

If I change the HD to another with NT or the linux 3.0 inside,
everything works. 

This is the problem that I cound't solve.

I thank you in advance for some help.
