This is telling us that your default card is not getting an IP address back from the router. I am assuming that this is because you do not have a cat5 cable connecting you to the router and you rely on the wireless adapter, which in turn has not been configured?

It's kinda one of those things where more information would just muddy the waters ;) However, the fedora live cd navigates it fine. I repeat this to make clear that the depth of the issue should shallow, or at least this is my belief.

Because I use the Asus WL-330g, it has to use specific NIC, in this case the built-in NIC, the SiS, since that's what it's configured for. I'll look into it.
It seems that only one device is configured (eth0). Knowing which device (wired or wireless) is mapped to eth0 would help the whole process.
gotcha.
OK you have two adaptors: > 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI > Fast Ethernet (rev 91) > 00:09.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet (rev 10) I don't know which one is a wireless and which one is a wired NIC (from a quick google they both look like wired PCI cards to me).
yes, both wired.

good. this is a major point from my point of view: this is *not* a driver issue?

This one does and it is eth1. When you run /sbin/dhcpcd eth1 what do you get?
will do.
You may also want to try iwconfig eth0, or iwconfig eth1 in case either are wireless adaptors. If none of your PCI cards are wireless you may want to modprobe -r 8139too since it is not being recognised anyway, re- modprobe -v sis900 and check what is shown under ifconfig as a recognised NIC device.
Thanks, yes. From Linux (gentoo or fedora) it doesn't even appear to be a wireless conection to my knowledge. I'll try that modprobe and will get back to the list.
Hope this helps. -- Regards, Mick
Thank you, Thufir ps: I used the live cd, 2006, on a different box (different motherboard) with the same Asus WL-330g wireless bridge device thing-a-ma-jig in the past. worked fine. This is a different NIC, but...I might try the 2006 CD, too. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
