Thanks for all the input. I have the network up again. I'm not exactly sure how. I've compiled the e1000 in the kernel. The only thing I've changed is this kernel option ... Device Drivers --> Network Device Support --> Ethernet 10 0r 100Mbit --> EISA,VLB, PCI and onboard controllers <*> I don't know if that's it, but I'm online again. I've been over menuconfig so many times I don't know which is up. Also, I apologise for my fragmented posting. I subscribed no-mail.
P.S. I may be arcane, but I don't wear panties:) _____________________________________________________________ Get your FREE, LinuxWaves.com Email Now! --> http://www.LinuxWaves.com Join Linux Discussions! --> http://Community.LinuxWaves.com
