[newbie] Eth0 probs
Hi, I just installed Mandrake 7.2 and everything is pretty much working. Here are my system specs Amd Athlon 800 Biostar M7VKB mobo w/ VIA KT133 chipset 128 RAM 20 gig HD Gefoce2 MX SBLive PCI 3com905b-TX Cyclone (PCI) Acer 50x CD-ROM ATAPI TEAC CD-W54E My only problem is my ethernet card. I am connected to a college network and in Win98 the card works fine. Currently I'm using the 3com59x driver for eth0. I'm not sure if this is the correct driver or not. When I boot up i get a message the IP Initialization with dhdcp failed. Is anyone familiar with this card and getting it to run under Mandrake 7.2? I'm not sure if the problem is the driver or the dhdcp settings.. _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

I had problems with my 3com until I set the card manually to the right cable type, and turned off the auto-sense option. Mandrake hated the autosense option and kept treating the card as if it were a PCMCIA device. Good luck. Tony -- http://www.gemmell-mania.org.uk Want to buy a house in Stockon-on-Tees? £32,950?
