I can not get my Ethernet port on my 5630 to connect.

I have it and 2 other systems (one Win 95 and one Win 98) on a 10M Linksys
hub.  The other 2 systems talk to each other using both IPX and TCP/IP - Net
neighborhood, Ping and Net Diag all work.

The Enet port is enabled in BIOS, present and working in Device Manager.
All 3 computers have the same network config:  IPX is default protocol with
802.3 frames, TCP/IP addresses are 192.168.10.1, .2, .3, all have same
workgroup name.

The Compaq sees only itself and its shares in Net Neighborhood, times out
when I Ping, and Net Diag finds no other systems using either IPX or
Netbios.  Winipcfg reports IP address correctly.

The only sign of life is that the hub light flashes only when I initiate any
activity, but does not flash in reponse to other systems' activity. Also,
the collision light often flashes when the Compaq light flashes.  I've
switched cables and hub ports around with no success.

Compaq offers no diagnistics for the port, but diagnostics from D-Link for a
similar 21143-based board seem to work here.  Any help would be most
appreciated!  Thanks.
