Dear Debianists,
I have now installed Etch AMD64 RC1 successfully on my new AMD64 box. The
only problem I have is that the internet connection isn't working.
My old box is an AMD Duron 1200 Mhz 32 bit machine which is running Etch
i386. The internet connection works fine on it.
I use NTL broadband cable.
I have used the old box to help me get information about my internet
connection.
If you look in the network tools window you get information for eth0
IP address.
It is 86.22.11.90 and this is NTL.
I checked with the whoami tool.
I also looked in the network configuration box in the network admin icon. I
found that the DNS server numbers for NTL are 194.168.4.100 and
194.168.8.100.
I also ran ifconfig as follows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /sbin/ifconfig

TX packets:128 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:6560 (6.4 KiB) TX bytes:6560 (6.4 KiB)
My question is: what is the best use of this information when I disconnect
the old box and plug in the new one to help it hook up to NTL?
I could just put the DNS numbers in the network admin window for example.
Suggestions welcome.
Regards
Michael Fothergill
