Re: [newbie] SB16PNP

Well, I am no expert, but I can try to help you a bit.

Firstly, this is what I do to get my Cable modem working.

as root run netconf.

Go to basic host information, then set eth0 to enabled, and select either bootp
or dhcp, so it will get the ip info automatically.
Also, then set the kernel module to the one that corresponds with your card.

What network card do you have?  I have a Netgear FA310TX and that is tulip
compatible, so i just select the tulip driver and reboot the system, and
everything works fine for me.

Hi,

Thanks for the tip.  I will check both of them out...

Now then...I managed to get the SB16 working (don't know how though), but 
no CD audio.

Also I followed some of the tips found in the archives, but no luck on 
getting the cable modem
to function.

Corel Linux was nice in that way, it seemed to do everything by itself and 
the Internet connection
via cable modem was active right away...

Anyway any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Mohammed

Yes there is a Windows Emulator, there is a freeware version called WINE, and
there is a pay version from VMware.

[newbie] SB16PNP

2000-02-26 Thread Mohammed Bhimji

Hi,

Ok..so I installed Mandrake, and all went well.  No errors, all looks good. 
BUT the SB16PNP (ISA)
card doesn't seem to "work".  That is, I get no errors that it can not find 
the card, or any other errors
but no sound no matter what I do.  Tried playing an audio CD and no luck...

I went through the list archives, and checked out my isapnp.conf file and 
all looks well inside that.
Does anyone have any ideas?

My SB is configured for IRQ 5, DMA1/5, I/O 0220, 0330, 0388 (according to 
Win98 System Properties
for my SB).

Also are there any TV viewer drivers/software available for Linux?  I have 
a TV tuner card, and it would
be nice to be able to use this.  It is an ADS Channel Surfer (if anyone is 
familiar with the brand).

Finally -- no luck with my internet connection.  I use a cable modem with 
ethernet card (like there is
any other way, right...), but I'll try out some of the tips found in the 
mailing list archives and see what
happens.

Is there such a thing as a Win98 emulator for Linux?  It would be nice to 
be able to use some of my
Windows software that isn't available for Linux.

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

Mohammed
