Re: Problem with ethernet i/f

[Ashley Thomas <athomas@unity.ncsu.edu>]

You made a tiny `mistake' by hitting reply to another message on the
list in order to post to this list. It causes a reference to the other
message to be put in the message you're sending... That particular
message was a complaint about the recent off topic posts and asked
people not to reply to it... -Anyone who uses message threading
without subject filters will see your post below the post that asked
people not to reply to it.  ;-)

**I did'nt realize that. I am creating a new thread here.

Check to make sure there's a light on your NIC and a light on the
hub/switch. (e.g. possible cable problems)

Light is there on the card but corresponding one on the hub is not on.
Does it have any thing to do with the driver on openBSD. My ethernet
card is 3Com509. There was no configuration during openbsd installation
when i specified the ethernet card type.(3Com509)

The other machines on the same subnet have the same net mask?
Yes.

if you can run the following and post the results

# ifconfig -m ep0
