Redhat Linux 5.0 and T/R Loosing routing off local network.

[Ron Richardson <RONR@Attachmate.com>]

Hi, I'm newbie so please forgive any mistakes :-}

The question I have has to due with trying to bring up a Linux system on a
Token-Ring Network.
Environment:
	P5-120
	IBM Auto T/R card
	Linux - RedHat 5.0
	kernel 2.0.31
	Apache

Symptom:
	- Bootup - Okay, Able to Ping 149.82.3.2, off ring, and
149.82.40.13, on same ring.  Class C address, I think.
	- Then an error/status message of "tr0: New ring status: 20" will
occur.
	- Now only pinging to 149.82.40.XXX address will work

	* Once in a while I will get a "tr:0 Unrecoverable error: error code
= 0059" on boot up.  Normally rebooting will resolve this problem.  

Filename: ifcfg-tr0
	DEVICE=tr0
	IPADDR=149.82.40.157
	NETMASK=255.255.255.0
	NETWORK=149.82.40.0
	BROADCAST=255.255.255.255
	ONBOOT=yes

Filename: network
	NETWORKING=yes
	FORWARD_IPV4=false
	HOSTNAME=red1.attachmate.com
	DOMAINNAME=attachmate.com
	GATEWAY=149.82.40.13
	GATEWAYDEV=tr0

The 149.82.40.13 is a Cisco Router.

It almost seem like there might be a resource limit that I am bumping into.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
