I have a laptop with a pcmcia 10/100 ethernet card in it. When I first installed it i ran ifconfig telling it what ip address I wanted and the netmask.. I then ran the network setup in Mandrake Control Center (installable from 8.2!) to check the network setup. In the wizard there is a check box that says start at boot, click on it (this will make it save all the setting ready for network init on boot) when the wizard is finished it should say eth0 up. I run the network service at boot to init all network settings - localhost, eth0.
Hope this Helps. -- Craig Butler Technical Support Analyst Technical Services E - [EMAIL PROTECTED] T - +44 (0) 1452 627766 DD - +44 (0) 1452 627743 F - +44 (0) 1452 627628 W - www.messagelabs.com -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Salch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 11 July 2002 19:06 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Cooker] PCMCIA network problem on boot when the pcmcia service is started it says it is starting the network service something like network start eth0 i can't remember exactly what it says.. but eth0 never comes up if i don't start it by running service network start eth0 will never come up shouldn't the network come up upon pcmcia card insertion ? -- Mr. Jeremy Salch - Data Services Granbury.Com, Inc.
