[ltp] 770Z And Xircom PCMCIA NIC Problem

[Manolis Stamatogiannakis]

Have you checked the settings reported by ifconfig?
Are they what you expected? The first three lines for
eth0 should look a bit like this :

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:11:2A:F1:24:82
          inet addr:125.91.10.107  Bcast:125.91.10.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1


Regards,
Manolis
