Problem solved. The cable was dead. There was an
extra cable under the table and I did not know that.
It was the one I grabbed, thinking I had unplugged it
from a working computer. Our head programmer even
asked me if that cable was working, and I assured him
it was. Should have re-checked.

Hello,
I can't get my Linksys combo card to work in our company's network. Here are some settings
network device configures as eth0.
ifconfig output: inet addr: 192.168.0.200 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask 255.255.255.0
route -n
Destination Gateway Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
Why does the below command: route add -host 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0
give the error netmask 000000ff doesn't make sense with host route.
Because you are adding a route to a host not a network so the netmask parameter is not used.
How can this be solved?
Leave out the netmask parameter.
And why no host from 192.168.0.0 network is accessible (no ping returns), though route table seems to be set up properly?
Does this include the host machine itself? (both 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.200) Can you ping the 192.168.0.200 machine from other machines on the network.
I have the PCMLM56 Linksys EtherFast 10/100 + 56K Modem PC Card. I have SuSE 6.2 installed on a Winbook XL. I have the card working at home via telephone line. But at work, I can't get the card working on our ISDN lines.
Is that card also an ISDN adapter? If not then it won't work and you will need an ISDN card.
Thanks George
