No, not at all. Your problem isn't trivial ... but neither is it very easy
to understand.
You need to avoid vague statements like "loaded Dach 2.2.19 on the machine",
"added pcmcia module", and "Nothing seems to be working".
Instead, use exact names of things, describe the tests you did and their
results, and generally be specific about the details. *Examples* from this
report:
make and model of laptop
exact names of the NIC cards
which are you using as external, which as internal?
are you loading Dachstein from CD or floppy?
If a floppy, what packages did you include?
*how* did you do the Dachstein backup of "everything"?
*complete* list of modules you loaded,
in load order (from /etc/modules)
any error messages that appear during module loading
output of "ip addr show"
output of "ip link show"
output of "netstat -nr"
the nature of your external connection
(more than that it uses dhcp)
actual results of "ping a.b.c.d" for these values of a.b.c.d
your external IP address
127.0.0.1
the gateway address provided by your ISP or sysadmin
There's a somewhat old Troubleshooting Request HowTo (look around the LEAF
site for a link to it) that will help you with this better than I can in a
quickly written e-mail reply.
And BTW, LPR is a printing package. Dachstein is part of the LEAF project.
