Recently the group I'm in obtained a Sun 4/110. We are having a problem
getting the Sun 4 to interface with our ohter processors. Regardless of
whether an Ethernet cable is plugged in or not, attempts to use the network
generate the message
ie0: Ethernet jammed
This same Ethernet cable works when plugged into our Sun-3.
The Sun 4 is a VMEbus machine (*not* multibus). Anyone have any suggestions
as to what might be wrong before I start screaming, "Hardware problem!"?
Thanks,
Tony

I would try putting an EtherNet loopback connector on the interface to
see if it changes the symptoms any... With the loopback in place you should
be able to configure the interface, if not... you probably have a hardware
problem....
