If you wan't to learn Linux, I would go to a more complex version.

Kind Regards,

297052 2004-11-30 06:18:00 Xandra? When did anyone mention Xandra?

I'm using Gentoo...... Or am I missing something?

And welcome to PressF1 :).

Cheers George

297053 2004-11-30 07:13:00 I think the user meant Xandros

Check that thread I posted and see if you can make heads or tales of it.

Otherwise, boot the CD again and type:
lsmod

That'll list the drivers loaded, post the list back :-)

Cheers

297054 2004-11-30 07:34:00 AHAH!!

Tulip was in the list. So that's the driver - how do I get it? Trying to emerge it says there are no ebuilds to satisfy "tulip".

lsmod when running OFF the cd lists no modules at all.

?:| Have I stuffed something up?

297055 2004-11-30 07:51:00 No, not emerge tulip:
modprobe tulip

Modprobe basically loads "drivers" for the hardware.

297059 2004-11-30 10:02:00 modprobe de4x5

I'll keep checking.....

297060 2004-11-30 10:10:00 Okay, it uses the tulip driver, see:
http://vpc.visualwin.com/

hit Ctrl + F and search for tulip.

Basically that driver is built into the kernel, hence why you cannot modprobe it.

Try:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.100
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
echo "nameserver 192.168.0.1" > /etc/resolv.conf

AFAIK there can be issues sometimes with it so ping 192.168.0.1 (Ctrl + C to stop) and if it doesnt work, try:
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.101

Let me know how you get on
