Hi Ted. Thanks for your reply. ifconfig and resolv.conf seem to be normal and ping localhost works. The first thing I thought was to reboot. Also I now have noticed that telnet from outside DOES work, except it takes 5 minutes to get connected. ftp times out. Probably the same thing is true in reverse direction. Something must have happened to make connections very slow. There seems to be no problem with networking on other machines on the same network.
If it DOES work but takes ages to kick in then my immediate thought is an IRQ conflict.
Do you have any other device on the same IRQ as the ethernet card?
(I sincerely hope you don't have anything else at the same base-address!).
Hi Ted and thanks again for your message. For some miraculous reason the networking is back to the speed. I must confess I don't know what IRQ is, but I have had asked our school administer to turn on a second line for oyr ethernet jack for another computer that we are supposed to get. Maybe there was a mess up there. Every thing is fine now, atleast at the moment. Thanks again.
