Next step is to configure the NIC. The 3c905B is recognized and the LAN
Switch it is connected to sees the NIC momentarily during the bootup. =
However, dhcp searches and doesn't find a connection.
My system is a Vines network and is connected by LanSw and router to the =
HO
via FR and intranet. All my w9x & NT boxes use dhcp server (ofcourse) to=
assign 10.x.x.x and def mask (all 1s) along with the dns server ip addr. =
As
user has access to the internet after bootup with logon to the vines serv=
er or
the intrAnet. Myl users don't have local names or domain to make the int=
ernet
connection.
Issue: I have tried setting the local router addr as asked for by rc.con=
f
which doesn't work. What other config considerations need I try? Should=
the
local ip addr be set to the dns server ip addr?
