Hmm, I guess I figured you see if eth0 was listed by ifconfig and that you had and IP address (listed as inet addr:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX), just so you could use that information to further your debugging efforts. > I would think that knoppix would work, > but it doesn't either.

In the Mandrake control center (I'm not sitting at a mandrake box at the moment so I'm going from memory) I believe there is a section called system, or services (or maybe system then inside there a section called services). In there you should find a list of services and there in an indication whether the service is currently running and whether it is set to start at boot or not. Incidently you can also check this list from the command line by typing: /sbin/chkconfig --list This doesn't tell you whether each service is currently running or not, the on/off tells you whether it is set to start at boot in that run-level. For example the line: network 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off means networking will be started in run levels 2 through 5 (run level 5 is what your normally use). I don't know if knoppix has a chkconfig command, someone who knows more about knoppix (or debian I guess) can probably tell you the easiest way to see what is supposed to start at boot in knoppix. I hope that helps you. Bryan _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
