Hello all...
I'm having trouble w/ my Verizon DSL at the moment. Interestingly, when I
called tech support, they ultimately told me that I have a hardware problem,
probably w/ my ethernet card. Okay. I don't believe it, since I can connect
to my other Macs via this ethernet card while in the Mac OS, although I can't
connect via dhcp to the rest of the world. Part of the troubleshooting
relating to this included me going to my Mac OS TCP/IP control panel, and
looking at the IP info that it presents: IP, Subnet, router. Since mine isn't
working, I get an IP of 169.254.x.x. The subnet is 255.255.0.0, and no
router. They tell me that this is an indication that my ethernet card is
messed up.
What has this to do with Linux? I figure that since I have more tools
available to me in Linux, I should be able to get this same information (and
more), in Linux, but I don't have a clue about how to go about it, beyond the
usual ifconfig command, and using a utility like pump.
Anybody got any ideas?
Russell
