I am installing a DEC 3000_300LX. I installed 3.2C on it and
upgraded the firmware to V6_7. Unforutnately, I am unable to
successfully get this box on the net.
Using tcpdump on a machine sitting next to it, I can see arp requests
go out, and replies come back, but the replies are not being heard by
the 3000. I can ping localhost and ln0 (which goes across the
loopback), I can add the default route, and netstat show the default to
be Up.
Everything thus far appears to check out - software, firmware (show
ethernet shows TENBT), hardware, cable. etc.
At this point I am questioning the ability of this old box to run 3.2. I
am more than willing to upgrade to 3.2G if needed, but am really
curious as to whether anyone out there has one of these boxes
currently running. It's ethernet (10bT) card's device name is "ln0",
not "tu0" as is the case with newer hardware.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
