ethernet configuration
Hello,
I'm having trouble getting my ethernet to work properly. I'm in a dorm room
at a university that supplies ethernet and I KNOW it worked last year. I'm
dual booted and I used my winmodem in Win98 over the summer (and
unsuccessfully tried to configure it for Linux). This is all I can think
that would have disturbed the ethernet configuration.
The driver is "tulip" and it's a Netgear card.
Here's what I've done so far (at the advice of others):
I did "modprobe tulip" and then "dhcpcd eth0", but that still didn't solve
the problem. Neither commands returned anything.
my /etc/init.d/network file contians:
#! /bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0
The lights on my card are actually lit up and blinking,(supposedly showing
data transmission, I think) but I can't ping any servers or anything.
