List Well I have yet to get internet on this laptop. An ast P series P I 150 MgHz 80 meg memory (max) 21. gig hd pcmcia -- xircom credit card 10/100 (supported) peanut linux, xfce, some kde2 on system.
problem: I can ping localhost & machine name as 32 bit numbers address Use name no go, or there is no indication till ctrl C is used. The light on the pcmcia connector plug blinks & the hub light for the patch cable blinks both connection & status. Patch cable is new and tested at Altex. if I try ping to dns server or gateway Destination Host Unreachable. /etc/hosts has the names that I wish to ping with their address. 192.168.1.50 RichardSivernell.sivernell.net RichardSivernell 192.168.1.1 netmax.sivernell.net netmax /etc/pcmcia/config.opts & network.opts set per howto from pcmcia docs by D Hinds. /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 setup correctly as per howto during boot pcmcia is found mac addr is reconized and using irq 11 port 0x300. Sound works not the fastest or snappy but it does work nicely. got xfce Postgres SQL and development on it and still have 900 meg of space still left. xfce loads very fast compared to kde2.x, not bad for a school machine. just get the lan to work. Any help is appreciated -- Rick Sivernell Dallas, Texas 75287 972 306-2296 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Caldera Open Linux eWorkStation 3.1.1 Registered Linux User .~. / v \ /( _ )\ ^ ^ In Linux we trust! _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
