Re: [newbie] NEED HELP SETTING UP ROAD RUNNER CONNECTION FOR MANDRAKE 7.0

For starters, try going through your BIOS and setting "Plug 'n Play OS" to 
"no". This worked for my SMC PCI card, which uses the Realtek RTL8029 driver.

Did you install a dhcp client and set you card to get info thru dhcp?
If you haven't installed dhcpcd from the mandrake cd. then type 

ifup eth0

This will bring up eth0 interface .

There should not be any problem with the config of eth0. It might fail in
the initial stages for u may not have given the proper ip addrress etc.Pl
go to DRAKECONFIG and do the needful. Try giving the ip of 127.0.0.1 for
the loopback and 192.168.1.1 with netmask 255.255.255.0 Give ilt a local
name llike DHANAPAL and it will start working.
