I have a 3100 M48 with some wierd problems with the on-board LANCE
ethernet device. I have switched the switch to the AUI adapter. I have a
transceiver to convert to 10baseT, which is attached to a dinky 8 port
hub. I can't ping out from this box, but I can assign an address to it and
ping it from a remote machine (the remote boxes even show correct arp
entry). The link light is up and the LED's on the transceiver (yes I have
tried multiple ones) flash when they "see" network traffic. 

Does anyone have an ideas about this? Its 1.4.2 booting from a floppy. The
floppy is the only way for me to load OS. I don't have a CDROM or tape
drive in this beast, besides the ethernet device is essential. I've
searched the archives and website.
