What do you do to configure it manually. Did you edit the /etc/network/interfaces file, or just type ifconfig eth0 ip netmask netmask_addr. When exactly does the system go blank. During startup if you changed the above file I mentioned, or after using ifconfig? Can you do anything when it goes blank, try switching consoles or Ct-alt-del it. Or Is the system hard frozen? >I know everything should > work because I tried an old version of Debian for i386 and it could find > everything for DHCP easily. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If the network card and module are working, you can run dhclient anytime. > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
