Hi,

I've got a problem with my network on my SE30 :

** Ethernet Card : Asante MC+30IE64 for Mac IISI & SE30.
                   National Semiconductor 8390 chip on it.

** Network binaries (route,ifconfig,netstat) are from ftp.eskimo.com tarballs.

** Other binaries are from the 1.0 dist.
for example : ls -l /bin/cat :
-r-xr-xr-x  1 bin  bin  49152 Apr 29 02:45 /bin/cat

** /etc/hosts :
127.1             localhost
193.48.100.89     lpnm18
193.48.100.1      Paris2

** /etc/resolv.conf (it is a good nameserver for our network) :
nameserver 193.48.100.6

** /etc/defaultdomain (this is our domain) :
in2p3.fr

** I configure the network interface ae0 using /etc/hostname.ae0 with :
inet 193.48.100.89 255.255.255.0 193.48.100.255

** There is no routed running.

** In /etc/netstart there is (with standard netinit) :
route add lpnm18 localhost
route add default Paris2

** here are the results for several commands :
** ifconfig -a :
ae0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
	inet 193.48.100.89 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 193.48.100.255

** I don't think there is another system with my IP address (193.48.100.89).

** Ping and telnet are not working correctly :
The resolver doesn't work (Using telnet and ping with dot notation addresses).
Ping tells that every host is down (this is not the case).
Telnet cannot connect to any host (Trying ...).
Ping lpnm18 from another host is not working.
Telnet lpnm18 neither.

** If you need more info just ask me.

I don't understand why the network doesn't work.
Thanx for any help.
