View Ref-FileOnce everything is in place and wired, power up the gateway and all
the machines.  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.
