Toshiba Satellite 4090xCDT and eth/modem card 3CCFEM556B

hi, I could manage to get 2 high beeps during bootstrap - but unfortunelly, it doesnt help much in getting on ethernet: I can't ping local hosts. Everything seems to be OK - pcmcia modules and network parameters. I can see there is a problem with routing - 'netstat -r ' takes a _very_ long time to get finished, and in the end, gateway is properly configured, but routing doesn't work. What I can do to find out where problem is - if I can! I run Linux Red Hat 6.1 and the latest pcmcia-cs-3.1.11. Somehow, network is beeing configured before pcmcia has started - could it be reason to my problem? cheers Longina

The importance of using good cables... Re: Toshiba Satellite 4090xCDT and eth/modem card 3CCFEM556B (Longina Przybyszewska) Date: 2000, Feb 25 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

The problem was a bad cable (phone cord instead of network cable). There really is a difference between phone wiring and cables designed for high speed networking. -- Dave
