Hi all, Need help on configuring my network !! I've just installed Mandrake Linux 7.1, and the Network doesn't work. I am currently trying to connect to my local Cable company using DHCP. That doesn't work. After trying a few things in the 'Network Configuration' in DrakConf, I tried to hardcode my IP adress. That doesn't work either. Besides, the "eth0" device fails to initialise during the Boot. That seems strange as HardDrake still detects it properly, and tells me it's configured. According to HardDrake, the card uses I/0 = -1 and IRQ = -1... is that normal? It doesn't allow me to choose any other values for these parameters... Besides, HardDrake doesn't explicitly display my card as being mounted as device eth0... is that normal also, or is that the cause of the problem? So what shall I do to make my network work?? Do I need to mount my network card as device eth0 (How do I do that?)? Why does it fail to initialize during the Boot? And what do I need to do to be able to connect to my cable provider? Environment: PII - 350 MHz pc - 128 Mb RAM - Mandrake Linux 7.1 - 3c905B-TX PCI Network card Thanks a lot, ./\.
