My Original posting was
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 ?
The answer was twofold,
>>> show ewa0_mode
Make sure that it is set to BNC ie,
>>> set ewa0_mode BNC
Also if this doesn't work - check the ethernet card for jumper settings,
to make sure that the ethernet interface type isn't set up incorrectly -
if so, correct them.
