Re: [cobalt-users] Problem with restore-cd

["Brad Rathbun" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with the advice below.

1) Either use a crossover cable or a hub between the Raq and the PC
2) Try several NICs. Make sure they are 100BaseTx, 10BaseT doesn't seem to
work
3) It's immediate and obvious when it works. Light flicker, display changes,
etc.

I used an Intel PCI card and it worked great. But that was after I tried
about 6 other cards first.    ;^)
