Re: [newbie] Setting up internet connection in Mdk 8.1
Simple solution, I hadn't checked ADSL connection, only LAN. Mdk is online.

Re: [newbie] Setting up internet connection in Mdk 8.1
Yes, pnp is off. Not reading from a file, but when I click on the internet connection on the desktop, it tries to connect but fails and tells me to configure it. The LAN connection box asks for eth0 IP address, wind'ohs (in the TCP/IP settings) is set to obtain the IP address automatically. I thought the nic card was at 10.0.0.1 (or .2) but neither one works. I'm probably missing something simple. This is my first foray into the Linux world, so I'm about as green as they come. I'm thinking that the 8139too driver is actually the correct one, but I'm not sure.

Re: [newbie] Setting up internet connection in Mdk 8.1
open up netconf (From your KmenuConfigurationNetworking) Select Host Name +IP button Select Adaper 1 Select eth0 as the net device Select Via-rhine from the drop down box for kernel module Thats it. I have that card and it was auto detected perfectly. I wonder if you have an IRQ conflict.? Might be an idea to check wuth HardDrake Good luck Derek On Wednesday 12 December 2001 00:05, Curt Tresenriter wrote: Hi all, My first post here, can someone can point me in the right direction.

Re: [newbie] Setting up internet connection in Mdk 8.1
in that case (your ISP requires you to use DHCP) do NOT put any number where ever you are attempting to configure it, instead, just get number automagicilly or use DHCP or BOOTP or something along those lines.

Re: [newbie] Setting up internet connection in Mdk 8.1
Yeah, the dhcp/boot is selected. So the nic IP is also automatically assigned as well as the machine's IP?

Re: [newbie] Setting up internet connection in Mdk 8.1
Hold on Curt i just checked on the D-Link site. It is the 8139 driver for that card. Check this out. http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=488 Mine must be the 530TX without the 'plus' So if it has installed the correct driver then whats your problem?
