Re: TCP/IP w/Ethernet

hi,

it sounds like a cabling problem.  i got the same thing the first time i tried 
to set one
up.  we were using a remote access server, and i tried to run the cable from 
the ethernet
card directly to the ras.  that wouldn't work!

but when i put the cable in the hub, varied on ok.

for your cabling, if you have an older system (than the e series) you will need 
a
transciver (sp?)  if you have an e series, you should have a 10base t 
connection cable in
your box of goodies from ibm.  you plug your cable to the hub into that.

if that isn't it, you may have a problem with your cable.  could it be a 
crossover cable
(you don't want it to be).  or you may have a problem with the hub.

one last thing - do you have an integrated pc server?  if so, you need to 
configure it
first!
