Comments/Problems:
I built this machine for a friend, using a Sempron 2400+ on an Asus
A7V400-MX MoBo and 512MB of Kingmax RAM. HD was a 80GB Maxtor, DVD-Rom
an LG. I wanted to debianize it just for fun, before installing
Windows2000 for my pal.
The install went good, all parts were correctly recognized but I
couldn't access outside network.
I use a Zyxel P623-ME as ADSL Modem/Router, linked to a hub where other
2 machines are connected.
After the reboot base-config started looking for apt-get files but
couldn't access the network, so I checked /etc/resolv.conf but my
nameservers were there.
In the meanwhile other machines on the LAN could access the internet.
I checked my routing table (# route -n) but it was just the same as
other machines.
The VIA_RhineII module for LAN was correctly loaded (fact is, I could
ping other machines on LAN and get pinged, but couldn't ping google).
I installed Xandros OCE using the same values for eth0, and it worked
flawlessly. Windows2000 worked too (altough it took almost 4 hours), so
I exclude any hardware or LAN configuration problems.
I know this is not the best report ever, and I don't have the machine
anymore to run more tests, but hope this can help.
Thanks for your attention!
