Also Check the routes and DNS servers. Can you ping anything, start with something on the same subnet (other machine at your house) and ping the IP address NOT the name. Then ping the gateway. Then ping some other IP address that you know.
If you can ping anything, thent the card is working OK. I can see a hundred other replies, so maybe I'll just shut up now... :) Kev. ----- Original Message ----- From: "S�bastien Taylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 2:59 PM Subject: Re: (clug-talk) PCMCIA type '/sbin/ifconfig eth0' in a terminal, I bet you'll notice that the network interface has no address, or is non-existant. Hopefully it is the former, in which case you will only have to configure the network interface before using it. Tell me how it went and then I can walk you through configuring the card.
