All,

Two computers :
One running Windows connected to Internet with modem. Have NIC in Windows box, IP = 192.168.10.100

Laptop (IBM Thinkpad 570E) with RH 7.1, Kernel 2.4.2
NIC is Xircom RealPort2 - I haven't been able to find this on any hardware comp list.

When booting I get an error message that something failed. If this is the same as the message obtained by dmesg then it is : autonegotiation failed; using 10mbs.

Done my ifconfig stuff, added the default gateway and a route but when pinging I get destination host unreachable.

Reading Network HOWTO and old notes from the last time someone had these troubles but still no luck - help a newbie please.

Matt (Sorry it's Red Hat waiting for Debian to be delivered) Bunter
