A couple of weeks ago I had my modem going in Mandrake. Then something happened. I couldn't boot into Linux any more. I tried upgrading Linux and that didn't work. So I had to install all over again. Naturally I lost my settings and no longer have my cable modem going. So I've been trying to get it back for over a week now. Someone told me to try something. What he said was to type 'draknet' at a command prompt, and I did. Then he suggested that I post the results of what happened to this list. So here it is: Okay, here's what happened when I invoked draknet from a command prompt: Changing to default modprobe: can't locate module serial Please wait while probing serial port... Then it went into the configuration menu and it said: IP address: 24.102.7.207 Netmask: 255.255.254.0 Automatic IP (and I checked the button that says [bootp/dhcp] pr1.on.wave.home.com (my hostname) Everything already installed Setting network parameters OK Bringing up Interface lo Bringing up Interface eth0 Determining IP information for eth0 failed [FAILED] Everything already installed Then back to the root. Can any one help me? It would help if someone told me why I got the error message. And what can I do to fix it? Thanks.
