Assuming your ethernet card is already detected, and your ISP uses DCHP to give out IP addresses, it's pretty simple. Open up Linuxconf, "linuxconf", and then go to "Networking", then "Host" something (I'm on 7.2 and it's slightly different I think, but you want to first button on the top), then go to the "Adapter 1" tab. >From there, check the "Enabled" box, and select config mode as "DCHP". In the net device field, select "eth0" assuming that you only have one network card. Finally, based on your card info, pick "ne" for your kernel module field. http://www.linuxrouter.org/listarch/linux-router/2000-04-01/msg00390.html has some more instructions on what you might have to do to get it to work on your card. Hope that helped. > > I have Mandrake 7.1 and my ethernet card info sounds like this: Aand I use it with >a cable modem.
