If you can’t ping the Ethernet card, make sure:
❑ The address is correct in the ping command.
❑ The Ethernet card is operating normally (red LED off, green
LED on).
❑ The Ethernet connection to the card and to the host has
been made correctly, and all hubs, routers, etc. are switched
on. If you are using 10Base-2, make sure that both ends of
the segment are terminated.
Setting and checking the new IP address
To set the new IP address, use the address resolution protocol (arp).
Note:
In the following example, the MAC address of the Ethernet card is
00:00:48:93:00:00 (hexadecimal), and the IP address you will assign is
192.135.223.6 (decimal). Substitute your values for these addresses when
you type in the commands.
