This will be my last request for help in installing my modem in Mandrake 8.0. I hope no one perceives this as a threat, because it isn't intended to be. It's just that I've been so frustrated in the last few weeks. For instance, when I install the drivers for the sound card, it works the first time, and then it doesn't work any more. The same with my cable modem. It did work once, but then I had a problem and I had to re-install M8.0, and it hasn't worked since. I suppose I can do without the sound card, but I can't do without the modem. So if anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it. If no one replies, then I'll have no choice but to take Linux off my computer. And I like it very much. Now, here seems to be the problem with my modem. When I typed 'draknet' at a command prompt, here's what I got: 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 root. This seems to tell me that Mandrake isn't seeing my NIC (or so I think). Can anyone tell me what the problem MIGHT be?
