Try setting up your network card to detect ip address (or dhcp.) Try this.

I am serious.

219006 2004-03-06 11:54:00 I tried my Linux again this evening, and much to me surprise the router went on line straight away. I didn't change a thing.

The driver is sis900 (automatic)
Gateway: 192.168.1.2
IP: 192.168.1.3
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
DHCP: Blank

I am sending this from Linux.

219007 2004-03-06 12:42:00 Seems a little odd.. Perhaps you hadnt been taking down / bringing up eth0?

That's great to hear though :-) Well done


Chill.

219008 2004-03-15 03:04:00 If anyone is still watching this thread. Heres the news. I downloaded as installed Mandrake 10. Installed a new DSE NIC and I still have no internet,sound or twin view. I dont know what I'm doing wrong but whatever it is I have run out of patience. Thanks again to everyone for their help. i-gordon (962)
219009 2004-03-15 18:42:00 Hi,
I am not sure whether the system I used to connect my modem is similar to yours but I will post details in case it helps.
My modem is Alcatel Speedtouch pro using Mandrake 9.1.

Open Mandrake Control Center
Click on Network and Internet
Click on Drak Connect to setup Internet Connection
Click on Expert Mode
Configure Internet access and enter gateway IP (I dont really understand this part but my
modems address is 10.0.0.138 so I set this gateway to 10.0.0.1
Click on Configure Local Area Network...
Choose Boot Protocol is ¨dhcp¨
Started on Boot ¨yes¨

HTH

219010 2004-03-17 01:18:00 Thanks for the reply. The trouble I'm having now is all due to the ADSL Router. When I had a ADSL Modem in my comp I was able to get online OK in Mandrake. This seems to be a problem that some how involves the router, maybe the router settings that work perfectly good with windows don't suit Linux although I cant see why they shouldn't i-gordon (962)
219011 2004-03-17 01:24:00 Exactly. This is TCP/IP and it knows nothing and cares less about whatever OS is sending the packets.

It must be in your settings. It will be a simple and obvious thing. :D :_|

219012 2004-03-17 09:01:00 I had exactly the same problem with my system. I've got the same M/B & router as you. I went to Mandrake configuration,software, & made sure tcp/ip & dhcp was installed. DHCP is not installed by default on Mandrake 9.2. Once installed the system self configured.

Good luck
