- If you're connected via 10Base-T (twisted pair), is the Link-Status LED
- (the frontmost one) on the Ariadne lightened?
- Is it an Ariadne V1.1 or 1.2 (the number is etched on the board)? v1.1 had
- severe problems with 10Base-T (didn't work at all).

- Sounds very strange...
- Please look at envarc:sana2/ariadne0.config, is your board forced to
- either media? Perhaps not to the one, you're using? Comment out
- both "10BaseT" and "10Base2" by inserting a leading "#". For details
- please have a look into the manual.
- Another point might be to check cabling, if you swap e.g. the Sun with
- the Amiga, can the PC still talk to the Sun?
- A few days ago, I posted ariadne-device v1.39, maybe you should try again
- with this one.

- You can fax Village-Tronic (+49-5066-7013-49),
- leave a message at the BBS (+49-5066-7013-40)
- or mail to support@village.de, although this is still under construction.

- Ciao, Klaus.
