o i fogot to mention that my router connection with the other computer is wired. so my internet card is not wireless
OK- here's the lowdown.
It's a matter of having a network interface card that is supported by Linux (most major chipsets are supported) . 99.9% of all home users use DHCP (Dynamic host configuration protocol) to set the IP addresses of PCs connected to the router, so if your NIC is supported, it will make a perfect connection to the netwithout any intervention from you. My guess is you have a non supported Network card in your PC.
Try running the netcard configuration script from within the menus in DSL.
OK, need the other 7 lines of lspci.
You can also try:
ifconfig
and if you see an "eth0" device listed, then try
netcardconfig
Otherwise, give me the other 7 lines from lspci
i tried ifconfig but no "eth0" device was listed and
netcardconfig said that no supported network cards were found.
the following is the exact reply from lspci
