Hi all, I've installed SuSE 6.4 for my old computer. I've nothing but problems with 3Com (3C515-TX : Fast EtherLink ISA 10/100 Base-TX). It seem to work...The lights on both the card and my hub are lit. I can ping and telnet the local IP address on eth0 but I can't ping the gateway and any other machine on the network(there is no response -- hangs). Are there any possible causes for this?
