I think I made some progress: I switched to Bering uClibc 2.1.3
I went into packages - modules - kernel modules to load at boot and then deleted the # in front of 8390, crc32, ne2k-pci, mii, 8139too These are the files that you guys told me to use for my nic's: [Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC] and [Realtek RTL8029(AS) based Ethernet Adaptor (Generic)] I wasn't sure if I had I had to actually download these files and put them on my boot floppy or not. I thought I would anyway but could only find 8390.o, mii.o, and ne2k-pci.o. I out them on the boot disk. If I need to put the others on could you please tell me where to find them. all pinging results::::: ping: sendto: Network is unreachable lsmod: Module Size Used by Not tainted softdog 1508 1 ip_nat_irc 2128 0 (unused) ip_nat_ftp 2736 0 (unused) ip_conntrack_irc 2864 1 ip_conntrack_ftp 3472 1 8139too 11624 0 (unused) mii 2108 0 [8139too] ne2k-pci 4044 0 (unused) 8390 5784 0 [ne2k-pci] crc32 2648 0 [8139too 8390] uname -a: Linux firewall 2.4.24 #3 Sun Feb 22 19:25:40 CET 2004 i686 unknown I got no output from ip route show Ip addr show: 1: lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 16436 qdisc noop link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:05:c0:26:8f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000 link/ether 00:c0:26:62:82:20 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
