Should look something like this: 02:42:00.448836 desk1 > lap: icmp: echo request 02:42:00.449545 arp who-has desk1 tell lap 02:42:00.449608 arp reply desk1 (0:50:da:28:80:39) is-at 0:50:da:28:80:39 (0:e0:98:74:7c:2b) 02:42:00.450097 lap > desk1: icmp: echo reply 02:42:01.440356 desk1 > lap: icmp: echo request 02:42:01.441024 lap > desk1: icmp: echo reply 02:42:02.440367 desk1 > lap: icmp: echo request 02:42:02.441016 lap > desk1: icmp: echo reply 02:42:03.440360 desk1 > lap: icmp: echo request " I typed tcpdump, and I asked in another box a ping 10.1.1.1 (mail server), and the messages I got from tcpdump: " User level filter, protocol ALL, datagram packet socket tcpdump: listening on eth0 17:25:10.607939 arp who-has gepard tell tigris.local (0:e0:29:30:3:fb) ... - the same lines x 10 " no other lines written. gepard means 10.1.1.1 this is the name of the mail server. No echo or any other lines. after it i tried the "telnet 10.1.1.1 25" the lines are the same like above: "17.25.10.175230 arp who-has..." the lines repeated at least 10x. Thank you for any idea: Gabor Kallai scar@scar.hu ------------------------------------------- The original question was: " Hello, Please help me if you can. I've just installed Suse Linux 6.3. I am a lamer to linux, but I try to tell you what is the problem. My SMC 9432 BTX 10/100 PCI network card was found by the system (can be seen when linux is booting). If I try ifconfig, the card looks like working, it's IP address (logical) 10.1.1.20, the read hardware address is O.K. (not FF:FF:FF.... or 00:00:00...). It is installed as epic100, eth0. If I try to telnet my system from it's console, it's ok. If I open the console window, and ping myself, it's ok. But from any other part of the network the system cannot be seen (even ping is not working), no telnet or ftp connection. The led of my HUB is green (means 100 mbs connection is o.k.) so the system is wired to the network. I used suse 5.0 (i hope this was it's version as far as I know) before, it worked fine with my card. What is the problem?
