Was your ethernet card detected during the boot sequence? Watch the kernel messages for your driver type. If you don't see it (or it says "not found"), then put -c on the Boot: prompt and configure the proper settings for your card with the proper driver. (use "visual" to see what driver is what) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
