I should be getting sth like "eth0 Link encap Ethernet HWaddress 00 60 ....."when I issue: ifconfig eth0 - but I just get an error about an unknown device. However HardDrake acknowledges that i have a configured Realtek 8029 and I also have Apache installed and can access http://127.0.0.1 with Netscape. But it looks like sth is wrong if ifconfig can't find eth0. Are there other tests I can carry out to track this down? BTW, if anyone else is trying to do what I'm trying to do - make my ADSL cable connection work - no help for people who don't use Windows from the ISP - I found a wonderful site at http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/ Unfortunately, I can't figure out if my NIC is working ok and so can't get to the next step. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated..... Thanks, Brian
