I'm not sure how to describe this problem. It looks like my tx bytes are not ever being sent from eth0, but using the net works fine, and people can access my web server. Still I never have any tx bytes or tx packets, just errors whenever I take a look at ifconfig. I have a linksys lne100 I believe. Whatever the case I use the tulip driver from the kernel. Anyhow I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or knows how to fix it. Like I say everything works fine it just looks like it doesn't.

ifconfig output:
Code:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:04:5A:6E:7A:38 
          inet addr:129.130.217.83  Bcast:129.130.255.255  Mask:255.255.252.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:70775 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:12177 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:22631
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:32471673 (30.9 Mb)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0x3c00


thanks,

John

Guesses:
1) Cable is bad/not fully plugged in
2) IRQ/Address incorrect for the card
3) If those both check out, can you dump your current route for us?

I'm stumped by the "using the net works fine" statement.... Do pings work from that machine to other machines?

No, everything is good, the cable is new, and as far as I know the irq/address is good. I can ping other machines, surfing the web works fine, and people can access my web server. I just never get any tx bytes registered, just errors. Here is my routing:

Code:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
129.130.216.0   *               255.255.252.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
default         129.130.219.240 0.0.0.0         UG    1      0        0 eth0


Thanks,
John
