I have tryed this but I must still be doing something wrong as my net card still doesn't appear to be recignised.
I entered the command line in a teminal and it was accepted with no errors returned. Trying to find out if this has worked I have tryed the following.
Working from the Control Pannel: "netcard config" still reports No supported network cards found, PPEoE setup says there is no workig network card and offers to run "modconf2 to try and find one. If I OK this nothing seems to happen -- the same report window appears again and again.
The net browser (whose name I forget) can't connect to anything but local documents.
From a terminal I have tryed to ping my router (which I can do in MS Windows) but ping reports that the network is inaccesable when I try it in DSL. BTW the network link lights are on at the router and PC.
I would be greatful if you have any ideas what I am doig wrong.After "sudo modprobe e1000", type "lsmod" and look if e1000 appears as a loaded module in the list.Thanks there.
I've got a bit of work to do right now, but I'll try that and report back. I do't realy want to let this beat me. Thanks.Juanito, I have managed to try "lsmod" and the first line of the output is as follows
Module Size Used by e1000 97204 0
so it looks as if the ethernet driver is loaded by "modprobe" but what can I try next to conect with my router?
BTW I have managed to save the whole "lsmod" output as a text file and could post it here if it would be helpful.
Thanks again for your interest everybodynow it's loaded, you can try to give it a ip address manually..
It's done with ifconfig, I don't remember the exact command but it's something like "ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.5/24 up"Next Page...
