I has installed SME on a older IBM T21, which I would like to use as printserver. There are only 1 ethernetcard, and therefor I installed it as "server only"
The instalation went fine, but it cannot connect to the lan. SME cannot find the ethernetcard, and I cant see the comp from my router.
Serverconfig is set as:
Domain name: Localserver.srv
System names: smeserver
Local Ip adr: 192.168.1.110
Local subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
Operation mode: Server-only
Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1
DHCP: Off Do not provide DHCP service to local network (has tried ON - does not work to)
DNS serveradresse: 193.162.153.164 (TDC)
When I reboots I get this error:
"Failed - etHO 3c59x device does not seems to be present delaying initialation"
When I make a ifconfig, it tells that there are no ethernet.
I has tried to uninstall SME and install Ubuntu, and Ubuntu has no trouble to find the lan.
What does I do vrong? :-( :cry:

Clearly your ethernet card is not supported by SMEServer. I suggest you look here:
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter4
and then here:
https://hardware.redhat.com/list.cgi?version=4&internal_whiteboard=Component/Peripheral
In general I use ethernet boards based on the realtek 8139 chip, which work "out of the box".
