I just got in a couple of Sun 3/60s, and the Ethernet doesn't seem to be
working.  I have thicknet, and I've tried plugging the 15-pin connector
into one of my other systems, and it works fine.  On the processor board,
I've tried the jumper which says "external" on both settings.  If it's set
to "internal", then the error we get is "le0: transmitter frozen"
(whenever we try to ping or do anything else).  If the board is set to
"external", then we get an immediate error (I don't remember exactly what
it is).  I also tried bringing over the kernel from my 3/260 and booting
that, and it has the same problem (that was just in case I had
misconfigured something).

The $64,000 question...does this mean that there's something really wrong,
or is there some other setting that I've missed?

P.S. Environment is 3/60s with 8MB memory, 327MB disk, SunOS 4.0.3.
