In linuxconf you setup your ip and your DNS,etc... also you checked DHCP and you get an error, what's happening is that dhcp-client is not istalled. Try this as root on the console: modprobe dhcp-client (i think that's right) All you need is the module for the dhcp-client to be loaded and you should be in business, I don't use dhcp so I'm not too familiar with the module needed I'm sure someone else will come up with an answer for you. --- Original Message --- "Krulo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wrote on Sun, 12 Nov 2000 15:19:30 -0000 ------------------ thk u for the xplanation about the sound card.
