Hi Dave,
Thank you for proposing your help.
YDL 2.0 is running on it as the subject line implies ;) I was finally able to network to some extent these stations, but I now got into the message I posted on a latter message (Oversized Ethernet Frame).
I am wondering right now if the rtl8139 driver TSS is using is the latest from Donald Becker, I am using it as a module right now. If not I may need to recompile the latest version in the kernel. I read "horror stories" as far as recompiling that driver. I am even wondering if changing the driver will make a difference, maybe Dan or Hollis can give us some insights on this?
These stations are on a 5-port Linksys EtherFast switch (1 PC + 4 Macs (3 OS 9 + 1 YDL 2.0)). I am running Miramar PC-MacLan on the PC (great software for PC/Mac connections, BTW).
What are you running on your Macs to "see" and transfer files from and to your Linux box? and what about your PC?
TIA,
Philippe

HI,
I'm not a networking expert by any means, but I managed to get my ydl 2.0 box up and running on a network of macs and pc's without a hitch. Maybe a little more detail of how you have these machines connected could be a start? What is running on the ydl box?

Hi,
Anyone out there with good knowledge of TCP/IP that could help me troubleshooting my network.
My YDL2.0 linux box is still not alive on my existing (and fully working) network of Macs and PC.
Any help would be appreciate.
Hardware: PPC9600/350
NIC: SMC 1211Tx
Thanks in advance,
Philippe.
