Subject: YDL 1.2.1 on G4 Power Mac - dropping all incoming packets

Hello,
I'm looking for ideas on how to get the ethernet interface to stop dropping
incoming packets. G4 power mac with YDL 1.2.1 and a Znyx 4 port pci (21143
chips) networking card. The box will transmit just fine but drops all the
incoming packets. I've tried bringing up the interface with '-promisc'
enabled just to see if that would work, it didn't. So I'm a little clue
less at what might be the trouble.
ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
ifconfig reports interface up and running. I can bring it up and down no
troubles.
route add default gw 192.168.1.3 eth1
route -n
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.3 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
This is what my other two machines (intel) report for their route table
(different ip's of course) and they work just fine. From this point on I
can capture the G4 icmp packets (on both intel boxes) so I know it's
sending pings out of the interface to the wire. The machines are replying
and I can watch the ifconfig 'dropped:#' count on the G4 increase as it
drops the incoming packets from the other two machines.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks John
