22188 2001-10-21 21:22:00 I am a new Linux user and am trying to find out how I can config my 3com network card. I am using Mandrake 7.1 and it detects the card and has a driver for it but I cant find (on the web) any tutorials that are at my basic level of Linux. Thanks a lot. Guest (0)

Type:
ifconfig
to see if your card is up and running.
Then type:
su
<enter your root password>
netconf

Then enter your network info there.

There should be good info in the help documentation and mini-howtos that came with your distro.

p.s
Why are you using such an old version of Mandrake ?
Since then there has been 7.2
8.0 and 8.1

all the best,
