Hello,

I have recently upgraded my home network, replacing an old switch and
one computer's NIC with a gigabit switch and a D-Link DGE-530T card
respectively.

The switch seems to be behaving fine, in that other systems can
connect fine, and the one PC in question works in Windows 2000. In
Linux, the same PC appears to load the skge driver (with the newest
Ubuntu) without complaints, and shows on the switch as a gigabit
connection.

The problem appears when attempting to actually send data over this
interface. The Ubuntu setup didn't find the DHCP server on another
system during setup, so I have gone with configuring eth0 manually.

The default gateway, netmask and broadcast are the same as the other
desktop system, so "route -N" appears the same on both systems. Doing
an "ifconfig eth0" looks fine to me, but I'm posting this remotely
from the working one at the moment. The only thing is that I can't
connect to either of the other systems on any port, and RX and TX
packet counts and bytes are all zero.

I've covered anything which seems obvious or typical. What have I
missed? Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks, Tim
