Problem: NIC appears to be configured correctly and is working. Can ping localhost only, cannot ping any other internal or external IP's.
Distro: Red Hat 8
NIC: Linksys LNE100TX ver 5.1
1) verified that the tulip driver is being loaded
2) light on nic and hub flash constantly
3) mii-tool reports Eth0 negotiated 100BaseTx-HD, Link OK
When running this nic on a WinMe machine the media-type must be set to 10BaseT. I believe this is the problem in RH8. How do I force the nic into 10BaseT mode?
By using the mii-tool I was able to change the speed of the nic to 10BaseT and the card immediately sync'd to the hub. I can ping and surf the Internet.
