Network adapter seems ok, but doesn't work...
Hi
I am kind of a linux newbie, and I am having some trouble with my
network
adapter.
It is a simple PCI card with a RealTek 8139 compatible chip, my network
is a
simple home network, (192.168.0.x)
My Linux dist. is Debian 2.2.r3 with 2.4.5 kernel (I have 2.2.19-pre17
on
backup too, if it matters...)
If I got it right, it should be sufficient to invoke
'insmod rtl8139.o', and
'ifconfig <myip> <mysubnetmask> up eth0'
(or something, I cant remember exactly)
Well... I get no errors doing this, and if i run ifconfig afterwards,
the
card shows up as if it should work perfectly. But pinging someone has no
effect. What am I doing wrong?
Please, enlighten me :)
best regards
Tor Arvid Lund
