   Well, the "neighbour table overflow" messages have stopped, but the ping 
didn't get through.
45 packets transmitted 0    packets received    100% packet loss.

and "route"  shows only one entry: 192.168.1.0

   Shouldn't this be 192.168.1.1 ? 

Regards,
         Ron


PS: I managed to get BL3 onto this network (from a different partition on the 
same machine/NIC as the BL2 installation). It was remarkably simple:

insmod rtl8139
ifconfig 192.168.1.5
uhdcpc

   and I could ping the server, and surf the net.   But that BL3 is not the 
will-become-mission-critical installation, so it's only academic interest at 
the moment, but it does show that the hardware is OK.

   I am sending this email from a second (new) machine running SW10.2 which 
configured itself to the LAN.

Regards,
         Ron
