Hi- I have just installed Suse 8.2 Pro on a new box and the networking doesn't seem to want to talk nicely with the other computers on the network. Right now I'd be happy just with talking to the internal network, let alone the outside. The NIC is an integrated realtek RTL-8139 hwinfo show that '8139too', and 'mii' are both active. 'mii-tool -vv' shows that "autonegotiation failed, but the link was ok." This is fine as my internal hub doesn't do autonegotiation 'mii-diag' reports that "i have link beat and everything is working OK" 'netstat -rn' and 'ifconfig eth0' both look fine. They are configured the same as the other 4 systems on my internal network(obviously the IP is different :) Ping does NOT work to any of the other systems (yes, icmp port is the same on all systems in /etc/services) Now, here comes the kicker: I ran 'etherreal' on the system that won't talk to the other boxes and it find all sorts of network traffic between my other internal systems and connections to the outside world (imap, ssh, http, icmp, ntp, and ftp) Anyone have any ideas what is going on? thanks, brian -- Brian Jackson, President Action Athletics "Sports Photography for You" http://www.actionathletics.com

Instead of saying "they are fine", please post the output. Obviously something somewhere is *not* fine, or things would work, and since both crystal ball and my tarot cards are being serviced, it's difficult to say what unless you post the details The IP/netmask/routing table of the machine with the problem, and from one of the machines that work would be a good place to start.
Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
Also post the config from your firewall, if you're using one, and any messages from /var/log/messages or /var/log/boot.msg that appear to be relevant to networking Since ethereal can sniff the network, I would bet that it's a config problem in the network setup, and not a hardware problem. otherwise it seems that apic/acpi is causing a lot of problems lately, but I really doubt that would be the problem here
