| 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 Chill. |

| 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. Chill. |

| 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 Chill. |
