OK, heres what I have in there:
Adaptor
Config Mode: DHCP
Primary Name and Domain: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Alias: rog@slammingrooves
IP address: 24.188 blah blah blah
Net mask: 255.255.255.192
Net Device: eth0
Kernel Module: 3c59x
I/O port:
IRQ: 10
I've also filled in the IP numbers in IP Nameserver 1 and 2 (the DNS
numbers, I guess).
Now, the thing that makes me wonder if Mandrake is seeing my nic card,
is I go to Harddrake, and it doesn't have anything listed under
Ethernet Card. What should I do there?
Also, when I boot the machine, and its initializing everything, it
gets to where its initializing eth0, and lists a path to something,
but then it says invalid parameter param_irq Delaying eth0
initialization. And when I bring up a terminal and type ifup eth0 (as
SU), it again tells me Delaying eth0 initialization.
So whats my next move?
peace,
Rog
