Yes possably you did miss configuring the LAN when you installed slack, you also missed providing us with helpfull information. Name and type of card. ? {Slack version, 9.1 has a different config file for LAN networking.} Results of ifconfig -a Does your lan use a dhcp server for configuration, or do you set your own address?. The command 'netconfig' may help you. Setting your device driver in /etc/rc.d/rc.netdevice should take care of loading the module for the card. Thats about all i can say because you failed to provide the info needed to give a direct answer. > > thanks. -- If the Linux community is a bunch of theives because they try to imitate windows programs, then the Windows community is built on organized crime. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
