I don't know what I did, but now at least the light on the network card
turns on. So I know that the network is being detected by Linux and the
card is being correctly initialized. However, I still can't access the
internet. I get host not found errors whenever I try to type in a URL in
Konqueror and net unreachable whenever I try to ping something. I believe I
have typed in all the right settings for domain, hostname, gateway, subnet,
and every other thing that has a correspoinding ip in the network control
panel under windows. What am I missing? Thanks for the help.
