Hm. I got this right, and my machine is still (network-wise) down. We've
got a netmask of 0xfffff000, which appears to be the source of some
problems. The best I can tell, I should be using en0 (I'm using the BNC
on an 802.3 network). But the machine can only ping itself.
Grr. Anybody have any hints? I'm at 3002 on a 320, there are plenty of
other machines on the subnet. I've cranked up etherfind on a sun, and it
doesn't see any packets coming from the rs6000.
Yes, the 6000 is plugged into the thinnet cable. That was the first thing
I checked. And the connector is good, I tried it on a working machine.
Thanks for any help...
