cdrmilad : 25/11/01 12:39 AM : Incident created -   I am kinda a newbie w/ linux. I am trying to setup the computer so it works with my cable connection. @Home apparently doesnt provide support for linux....so bummer. I just added a ethernet card to the computer yesterday, and i dont think linux had any trouble recognizing it. i have the information i need to set it up, like the static IP and dns "stuff", but i dont know where to put it. any help would be appreciated, thanks.

cdrmilad : 26/11/01 09:01 PM : More info provided -   what i now notice when i boot linux is that it says bringing up interface lo bringing up interface eth0 delaying eth0 initialization so now it isnt recognizing the ethernet card....i am gonna go see if i can find the latest linux driver for the card
