Take a look at the Network Administrator's Guide (Google will provide)
and work through the chapters on basic Ethernet configuration. If you
can't get it working, follow the diagnostic steps and post relevent
commands and output.
If that fails, find a local user or installfest. You're not describing
your problems well enough to provide useful guidance.
I'd very strongly recommend you read the following excellent essay by
Simon Tatham, "How to Report Bugs Effectively"
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
Please note that you are the person in the best position to know what
you're trying to do, what you've done, how the system's responded, and
generally how it's configured. It's very helpful if you can post:
- *Exact* commands or steps tried.
- *Exact* error output or log messages.
Often, entering the error messages into a good search engine such as
Google (http://www.google.com/) will help set you on the road to
resolving your problems.
While others can offer suggestions, guidance, and experience, we cannot
see into either your mind or your machine's state. This is very much a
case of "you have to help us help you".
Good luck.
Thank you.
Peace.
