Hiya's

I have a weird problem in that I cannot ping my Alpha 1000 Box. I
checked and rechecked the cables (Coaxial). Putting a pc there works
fine - so can't be the cable. I ran the usual netsetup command and
everything looks fine.

The only funny - is that when the system boots it reports :

 tu0: auto sensing: selected AUI (10Base2|5) port (NO CARRIER)

The system has a AUI port and a coaxial connector. The cabling is
Coaxial. Could it be detecting the network incorrectly ? If so is there
anyway I could force it to use the coaxial port ?
