Have you tried pinging some known IP ?? I'm guessing the card isn't configured for the correct cable A problem with those generic NE2000 things is that its usually impossible to locate the software tool needed to point them at the correct one, and since Mr Murphy (or his brother) probably lives at your place its certain that your NIC is looking for a RJ45 cable when its only got a BNC connected to it Suggestion ..... get a NIC that you can get a config tool cum diagnostic utility for ...... like SMC 8013 / 3-com 507 / 3-com 509 ----- Original Message ----- From: "JOSHUA RICHESIN" <jrichesin@peoplepc.com> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2000 1:18 PM Subject: network > Ok, here is another question for you BSD users. > > I am setting up Freebsd on a desktop computer. I have it all installed and finally got my NE2000 compatible NIC card installed and configured. Now when I boot or shut down the system it says "device ed0 timed out" . Also, I cannot get it to connect to the internet for anything. > > I have configured the information for the network with > /stand/sysinstall Is there anything else I need to do or is it something wrong with my card.
