If the PCI card in the Atari has a 'Link' indicator it should be on. If the gateway has 'link' indicators they should be on as well. The non-Atari machine may have such indicators as well and should be checked. If these indicators are not on, there is a wiring problem. Now open Bash and issue the commands to connect the Atari to the LAN. At the Bash prompt issue this command: ping 192.168.0.1 Press control-c to stop the ping. This will ping the gateway and the result should be something like this: PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=5 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0 ms --- 192.168.0.1 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0/1/5 ms If you get 100% packet loss, something is very wrong. Recheck all wired connections, and software configurations. If you get 0% packet loss your Atari is talking to the gateway correctly. You should be able to ping the gateway from your non-Atari machines as well. The ping test should also work from machine to machine, in both directions. If it don't then there is something configured wrong on one of the machines.
