- My SO and me have a little Problem getting our Ethernet working.
-
- We are using 386BSD 0.1 with Terry's patchkit installed and SMC Elite Plus 16
- Ethernet Cards (WD8013 EPC). She has no-name 386SX/16 with Phoenix BIOS 8MB RAM
- and Optima VGA 512k (ET3000) and IDE-Controller with ST1144A Drive.
- My System is a 486/33 SIS-Chipset,256 k Cache, AMI-BIOS and 32MB RAM,
- Speedstar Plus HiColor, IDE-Controller with WD C2200 and ST1144A.
-
- The configuration of our Ethernet-adapters are the following:
- mine: IRQ 10, Base-Adr: 0x300, Mem-Adr: 0xcc000
- SO's: IRQ 10, Base-Adr: 0x300, Mem-Adr: 0xd0000
-
- I could use the hardware setting, while she had to do a soft configure 'cause
- both jumper settings caused problems. The first used IRQ3 (com2) the second
- couldn't map the memory at 0xcc000.
-
- We used the beta-patch kit from 04.oct.92 with the bug-fixes for the WD8013
- and the comments showed that the REJECT xxxxx messages shouldn't appear at
- least after a warm boot.
-
- With my machine everything seems okay, but my SO is still getting REJECT
- messages even if she uses nearly the same kernel as me (except for the we0
- device entry).
-
- If we ping each other, 12 packets are received and 17 rejected periodically.
- But only she gets the REJECT messages. Furthermore she gets REJECT mesgs when
- her machine is up and I boot mine and the network is started.
-
- Has someone out there a suggestion what the problem could be ?
-
- We are trying it for a week now, with building numerous kernels and little
- sleep . Please help, we are getting more desperate every day.
-
- Thanks in advance
- Jens (jj@Germany.EU.net)
