Thank you Dave and David,
I will go Netatalk for the Macs and probably Telnet from the PC, if I can resolve the "Ethernet Frame Oversized" problem... .
Like I said before, I can ping only for 4 to 10 times to different IP on the network (there is no constant) before freezing entirely my YDL 2.0 box.
I haven't heard yet from Hollis or Dan, as to what they think the problem might be... (driver?, as a module?) but I am not giving up yet.
Thank you,

Hmmmm....
I don't have the brand name of our hub, I'm not at work right now, and we use a Snap server to access common storage. But for the mac to "see" the linux machine, I just have netatalk running on the linux side of things, I can mount the linux machine right on the mac desktop, from the network browser, so I just drag n drop files each way. I didn't have to run anything on the apple side of the things, except for appletalk. From NT, I just ftp everything right now, I haven't had time to see how I can open files directly on the linux machine from nt like I do with the mac. Like I said before, I'm no expert, but netatalk was the key for me.
Hope I've been some help - Dave
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.
