network configuration.

[
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.121
hardware-irq-coalesce-rx-usecs 0
]

if you ping  192.168.1.121, you are pinging the PC

I would not use the 192.xxx.xxx.xxx range, but rather set the 7I96s
to 10.10.10.10 = W4 down W5 up +power cycle and set the host address
to 10.10.10.100:

[
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.10.10.100
hardware-irq-coalesce-rx-usecs 0
]

Hi,

Thank you very much for your suggestion, I did watch the entire video. I understand your explanation on the TCP/IP protocol.

Best regards,

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I would like to use 10.10.10.10 also: I have read the manual on this part and I have watch some set up vidoes for this card too. But I am not entirely certain about the jumpers. Please refer to the attached image:



To pull W4 down, do I just push that shiny piece pointed to by the green arrow down, please?

Thank you and best regards,

...behai.

To change the jumper position just pull the little link off and put it back on the top pin

Hi,

Thank you very much. I have been able to do this:



And I have changed the setting as per @PWC's instructions. The pinging appears to be correct now. When the network cable is disconnected in the middle of pinging, it reports ``Destination Host Unreachable`` which is what should happens. And when reconnected, it it picks it up again:
