Here the PC (Trumnpet) tried to find the Sparc's Ethernet address by 
transmitting a broadcast (ARP=Address Resolution Protocol) basically 
asking: "who has IP address 192.0.0.1". There was no asnwer. This suggest 
that there is a problem soemwher here:
- between Trumpet and the packet driver (check that vector number $72)
- between the packet driver and the 3com card (what did the packet driver 
report during loeading?
- between the card and the wire (are you using the 'internal' (=BNC) 
transceiver or the AUI (15-pin) interface with an external transceiver?
- between the wire and the SPARC - well, eh, is it plugged in? If BNC, is 
the coax terminated both sides? etc. Could be a problem in the Sun as, 
wel...
