Hi,

I having huge trouble getting Linksys LNE100TX ver 5.1 nic to work on a
A7V133 ASUS motherboard using AMD Athlon XP 1900 (1.6GHz) processor.

I have tried putting just the nic (took out the Augiy sound card) and
all the PCI slots (except no 1 slot -- not enough space due to the
Geforce graphics card in the AGP slot), but I haven't been able to get
the network.

I have tried Debian Sarge, Fedora Core as well a newly download Knoppix.
I have noticed that if I use the NIC in slot 2, it could be conflicting
with the IRQ of Promise ULTRA ATA100 chipset (on board for RAID).

I can setup the NIC just fine, it gets detected nicely, I can also ping
localhost, but I cannot ping any other machine on my home network --
occasionlly I get response for a ping request, but most of the icmp
packets (around 98%) are lost. The card works just fine in another
machine running Windows 98. Heck, I even tried installing Windows 2000
on the machine in question and the card wouldn't work there either.

So, I just want to know if the motherboard could be having a problem
(the board didn't have a nic card earlier)? Or is it my network setup?

The main router in my home network has eth0 as 192.168.10.1 (connected
to ppp0) and eth1 as 192.168.0.2. The internal computers in my home
network, are: 192.168.0.10 (running Win98) and 192.168.0.11 (the one I
am trying to run). There is a switch between eth1 of router and the two
internal computers. See below for other details.

Thanks for hints and help,
I am at my wit's end,
->HS
