Thorsten, let's do this step by step. I almost chucked a Linksys
fast-ethernet 10/100 because I couldn't figure out what the missing link
was. I am not promoting the drinking of alcoholic beverages, but it worked
for me. Anyway, back to the problem. Lets check out the following: Go
into Drakconf and look at what has been enabled at bootup. Is your dongle
one with lights? if so, are they lighting up-no: go to drakconf (traffic
light icon)and enable pcmcia. no: I would look at ir conflict. yes: assume
it's an eth0 problem. Are you on a cable modem? other LAN setup? do you
have a static or dynamic IP address? if dynamic, make sure dhcp is enabled
under Drakconf - ifyou dont see it as an option(it wasn't initially in my
install) just install the rpm from the install cd. You should get all
systems go when you reboot.
