[comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt] Okay, another ethernet problem. More details this time.

Hey everyone.

   Thanks for everyone that replied.  I installed my device drivers
over the weekend and followed all the instructions.   Unfortunately
I now get a different error.  First off let me say i ran the
diagnostics programs which tested the card and connection and
it passed with no problems.  So it must not like the default
settings I used?

I say:
telnet ###.###.###.###  (I just try a machine on campus here that I know is up)
and get:
Trying...
net0: transmit timeout 8200: shutting down device

then, just to be a pain I try again to see what it says:
telnet: connect: no route to host.

Any suggestions?  I can only assume that it's in the device driver
settings now (i have matched the jumper on the board with the interupt
level)

Thanks!!!

    Paul

PS, I have ordered the TCPIP manuals, but I'd rather not have to wait for them.

Check the settings of the board against the devices command.  My settings:
rsa : 98000
res : 99fff
brsa: 9a000
brea: 9ffff
il1 : 3

I suspect these do not match the board.  Also, some settings will not work.
These work for me, so I suggest you try them.  Check the IBM RT PC Guide to
Installation, pp. 6-11 to 6-16 for the baseband adapter.
