Problem with NIC not connecting to hub.

[Simon Slater]

	I have a PII running FC3 with a DEC500 as eth0.  It has worked fine for
months when directly connected (crossover cable) to another desktop with an
identical FC3 installation but Realtek NIC using NFS, or similarly to a
laptop (Win98) using Samba. These latter two communicate fine through a
Synoptics Lattishub 2803.  However when the PII is connected to the
Lattishub, the LINK LED only flashes once every few seconds along with the
DATA, (DATA) & COL LED's. I cannot ping any other host. The cables (straight
through) have been checked. The configuration still allows direct connection
with NFS or Samba which still works fine.

	Does anyone know what the problem may be?  Any suggested fixes?
