------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-01-22 04:20 ------- I switched to a 3C59x card several months ago because the 3c905 gave me problems with other Linux's as well as Mandrake. I installed LM 9.0 over the weekend and it is working fine with the 3C59x. I have no reason to go back to the 3C905 so I don't know if this is still a problem. Sorry I'm not more help. --- [email protected]. wrote: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- swap. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I tried various install options during reinstalls and upgrade attempts, but no amount of install or automated tool changes allowed the dhcp to work. Finally, I simply set the IP addr, DNS addrs, and a route in order to get back online. If this comment is actually appended, I'll post my system specs. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] description: I did an expert install of Mandrake-Linux 9.0 beta3 after downloading the iso's, verifying the md5sums, and burning them on 700MB CD-RW's. When the system tries to bring up eth0 on bootup, it complains that it can't find the information for it and asks me to check that the link, cable, etc. are OK. I have a computer running OpenBSD as a firewall between my ISP and my internal network. My internal network is 192.168.0.X. OpenBSD is running a DHCP server and has worked properly in the past with other Linux distros (LM 9.0beta2 as of yesterday). If I then manually configure the NIC to a static IP, manually fill in the DNS nameservers of my IP provider, add the default route to my firewall which is the gateway, networking works to the extent that I am able to run Konqueror and browse the internet. I haven't tried anything else (e.g. samba). As I say, four days before, I had installed LM beta2 and this functionality worked fine.
