Gibbs >============================================== >TCS Instructional Group - Programmer/Analyst 1 > Cory | Po | Danube | Volga | Parker | Torus >============================================== Justin, I am experiencing the same problem with the same setup as Alex. I have the "link2" at the end of the line in /etc/hostname.ep0. This 3c509 card will work on the AUI port, but the 10T port doesn't work. As Alex mentioned, both ports work fine running under DOS. The boot process does seem to detect that the card is using the 10T port Do you (or anyone else on this list) have any other suggestions?
