strange network problem

Hello,
I have a network problem that I hope someone can give me some help with.

I have a PIII-1ghz Qnx 4.25C computer with a NetGear FA310TX
network card in it running (Net.tulip -c168). It is plugged into a
Addtron ADS-616 16 port 10/100 switch. Everything works fine
until I power the computer down and back up. The computer can
not see anything on the network - until I pull the network cable out
of the PC and plug it back in. Then everything works perfect again,
until I shutdown again.

Any ideas of where to look?

If I take the cable out when I boot up, the computer hangs when
Net.tulip tries to negotiate its speed with the network, so it looks
like the card is seeing the network OK.

TIA,
Glenn Sherman

For what its worth, I use the same card in a 650Mhz PIII with an
HP hub and I don’t see anything like this.

As a SWAG, I’d say your switch is seeing something it doesn’t
like when your machine boots up, and it then locks the port out.

If I take the cable out when I boot up, the computer hangs when
Net.tulip tries to negotiate its speed with the network, so it looks
like the card is seeing the network OK.

Have you tried forcing the wire speed of Net.tulip with the -w option,
to bypass the speed negotiation? Another SWAG.
