I've got a NeXTStation mono running OpenStep 4.2. I've followed the instructions in TjLs_Cable_Modem_Guide.pdf, and get "the network is disabled or your computer isn't connected to it" when booting.
I can't ping the router or anything. Tried connecting a Windows machine to the same cable and it works.
Pretty straightforward setup:
IP: 192.168.4.201
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.4.1
Broadcast: 192.168.4.222
resolv.conf and netinfo are set up as described in that doc.
`ifconfig en0` and `netstat -rn` show what I would expect.
Any other ideas about what I could be missing? Any other troubleshooting steps I could try?
Thanks!
Nathan
One thing to check is the auto negotiation on your switch/hub. Newer equipment can have trouble with the 10mb connection.
Broadcast address looks weird. Would have expected 192.168.4.255. Is it a typo or is it really configured like that?
Well I did get it working. I had it hooked up to the ethernet port on an eero, which should work (it worked for the Windows machine.) I tried hooking up a switch in between and that didn't work, so instead I hooked up a linksys wrt310n router in between and that seems to have done it.

@andreas_g that was a typo.

That might have been the problem with connecting to the eero's port and/or the gigabit switch.
Thanks for the help everybody!
