hmm... all I can tell you is first make sure that the machine is setup for DHCP. If it is, then remove the router from between the machine and the internet and see if you can get an ip address that way. If all else fails give the machine an ip address and tell it were the router is that hopefully should work... I've had really screwy problems with individual machines. For example, I had originally install a netgear card and for some bizarre reason would not get an ip address from my linksys router, I pulled my linksys card out of my other machine and tried it in the linux machine and it worked great. So I borrowed a 3com card and tried that and it worked great too... I don't get why the netgear card was giving me such a hard time..... > -----Original Message----- > From: nathan wainwright [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, September 09, 2001 11:45 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [newbie] Linksys router. > > > anyone that has installed slackware over nfs... how would i > get a router to > give the machine a ip address? my linksys router (which i did get > runnniing... but i had to take that one back because of bad > noises) will NOT > give the machine that i want to install slackware to over nfs... a ip > address... > > i tried powering down the router... changing cables... the > cables are all > fine... and i know the nic card works... and the router is brand new.? > > what am i doing wrong? > > -- nathan > > _________________________________________________________________ > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at > http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp > > >
