| 218985 | 2004-03-02 04:57:00 | Ethernet controllers on motherboards have always been a problem. If the manufacturers don't release the necessary information, the clever driver writers have dificulty writing drivers. Very modern interfaces take a while before the drivers are written and debugged, even when the infoprmation is made available. What is the ethernet controller? You might be lucky and able to just download a working module. dmesg will tell you if it has been identified during the boot process. But until ifconfig shows eth0 both present and properly configured you can't TCP/Ip to anything, let alone a router. :D |

| 218986 | 2004-03-02 05:55:00 | I have uninstalled mandrake before I got round to replying to your post but I tried route in Knoppix and nothing came up but a data screen with no entrys. This is after attempting to make a connection with the router. | i-gordon (962) | ||
| 218987 | 2004-03-02 05:57:00 | Onboard LAN eh? Any chance you could do dmesg as Graham has mentioned, and post that, along with the output of: lsmod Cheers Chill. |

| 218988 | 2004-03-02 06:04:00 | The LAN card is a SiS900. What is the controller? I ran dmesg using the Knoppix CD and after scrolling through about 6 pages of tech stuff I found Realtek RTL 8201 is this it?, or what should I be looking for | i-gordon (962) | ||
| 218989 | 2004-03-02 06:12:00 | Whats the best way to get a printout from a Linux shell and post it from Windows. dmesg is big, a long scroll to be posting. | i-gordon (962) | ||

| 218991 | 2004-03-02 07:21:00 | Chilling. I tried your cmd and several version and locations but windows rejects it. I even tried Copy & Paste no joy | i-gordon (962) | ||
| 218992 | 2004-03-02 08:58:00 | Is that where your Windows partition is located thou?? You'll then needa Open it in Wordpad on Doze too. |

| 218993 | 2004-03-02 10:32:00 | My motherboard also has an onboard Lan "sis900" My Board setup CD gives an alternative of a "Realtek RTL8139" I can not find a Linux or NT4 driver for either of these Lans. Mandrake recognises the sis900, but it doesn't work. I havn't tried the sound yet. |
