I apologize to the list for the long message, but if anyone has an idea of
what could be going wrong, or what further steps I could take for
troubleshoothing...
In the mean time I did some further testiing:
*Flashed Gigabyte's latest bios for GA686LX (freed an IRQ from USB) ---> no
change
*Took out the ISA sound board thinking of a possible conflict -----> no
change
*Swapped the different PCI boards (priority) -----> no change
*Took out the AMD PCI netcard, popped in an old NE2000 ISA board, configured
kernel to run it as a module, it got recognized and... same problem as with
the pcnet32, no pings and it reports TX errors. so it must be something with
the config! but where?
I tried setting the default route to the local net, apart breaking ppp this
had no effect...
I tried a tcpdump -i eth0 :
I can see the netbios broadcasts of the windows box as well as its arp
requests when trying to connect (linux box doesn't reply).
The linux box sends netbios broadcasts (SMB came enabled with RH5.1). but
that's all...
