Dear Roman and All, Thank you for your advice. I just sent an email with
an UPDATE. You may see it come up soon. I mentioned that I actually
called my Cox-internet cable support and found someone who knows Linux. I
did not actually get to talk to him but he told my helper that all I had
to do to get on is set up in Linuxconf. He said to only enable DHCP and
disable DNS. He said do not put any numbers down for anything else. No IP
addresses needed or anything else. He said everything is automatically
detected through the server as long as I just enable DHCP and disable
DNS. Does that sound right? I will try it but does not my card have to be
recognized and initialized first? I checked into sbin/isapnp
/etc/isapnp.conf and this is what it says:
Board 1 has Identity 3b 29 17 b7 6b 60 16 a3 4d: SMC1660 Serial No
689420139 [checksum 3b]
Board 2 has Identity 35 ff ff ff ff 00 30 32 0d: CIR3000 Serial No -1
[checksum 35]
Board 3 has Identity 27 ff ff ff ff 68 18 73 16: ESS 1868 Serial No -1
[checksum 27]
/etc/isapnp.conf:46 --Fatal - IO range check attempted while device
activated
/etc/isapnp.conf:46 --Fatal - Error occurred executing request '
<IORESCHECK> ' --- further action aborted
Does this mean that my card is already recognized? It sounds like I just
need to set up my card correctly. Yes, Roman, I will accept your offer
for help about this . If my cable company does not need very much
information from me then do I still have to do alot to get my card set up
correctly? I will greatly appreciate your help. Thank you. Marcia
