Please help. I honestly believe I have tried everything. I have printed out every guide and followed all instructins, Reinstalled twice but noting. All I want to do is netowrk my Linux box to my XP box with the crossover cable. I know the netwrok cards work and the cable becuase it is a dual boot and xp works no problems. My XP address is 192.168.0.1 and masks as 255.255.255.0 with the gateway as 192.168.0.1, It has 2 cards but the other is disabled. My Linux box has 2 cards eth0 and eth1 installed, eth1 is connected to XP ifcfg-eth1 says Device=eth1 bootpro=static ipaddr=192.168.0.3 netmask=255.255.255.0 network=192.168.0.0 broadcast=192.168.0.255 onboot=yes MII_not supported=yes ifcfg-eth0 Device=eth0 bootpro=static ipaddr=192.168.0.2 netmask=255.255.255.0 network=192.168.0.0 broadcast=192.168.0.255 onboot=yes MII_not supported=yes netowrk says.. hostname=tux.mylan.com networking=yes gateway=192.168.0.1 gatewaydev=eth1 Firewall is set to allow all. hosts says 127.0.0.1, , localhost 192.168.0.1, winxp.mylan.com winxp 192.168.0.2 , tux.mylan.com tux 192.168.0.3 , tux.mylan.com tux route says destination gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 default winxp.mylan.com 0.0.0.0 ug 0 0 0 eth1 ifconfig says basically eth0 link encap:ethernet bcast:192.168.0.255 Masj 255.255.255.0 up broadcast multicast mtu:1500 Metrc:1 rx Packets all 0 txpacets 1 rest are 0 collissions 0 rx bytes 0 (0.0 b ) txbytes 60 (60.0.b ) interupt 19 base address:0x7000 eth1 eth0 link encap:ethernet bcast:192.168.0.255 Masj 255.255.255.0 up broadcast multicast mtu:1500 Metrc:1 rx Packets all 0 txpacets 1 rest are 0 collissions 0 rx bytes 0 (0.0 b ) txbytes 0 (0.0.b ) interpt 19 Baste address 0xc800 PLEASE HELP!!

I have the modem up and working, no sound though and sound works with no issues in windows, might try rolling back the kernel.

Still no sound was advised to change the modprobe to nvidia but said no device was configured on reboot. Not too sure what to try now.

No, no, I do not take offence to your suggestions, any help s great. Unfortunately, this is my 3rd clean reinstall with no sound. I was told that I will not get sound unless I can install the Nvidia motherboard drives. I will try another clean install tomorrow. Thanks again. Laurence

Well guys, tried uninstalling Alsa and XMMS and reinstall (lost the modem again and still no sound).

If you have the same board epox 8rda3+ with Mandrake 10 and 2.6.3-7mdk kernel, can you check to see if you have the same setting. What am I doing wrong? HELP!!

No lockups at all. When I tried to install just the NVIDIA graphcis drivers for my card, I had a complete lockup and had to re-install, I have been going along the theory that I need to install the motherboard drivers as sound is my number 1 priority.

Cheers Gowator, I managed to get the modem so now I am ready to tackle the mobo drivers. The junk I get above, I was told to ignore the NVIDIA drivers and install Alsa which I did, all it did was kill my modem which I had to again reinstall, but still no sound. Any ideas?

Well the saga continues, I got the modem to work, by installing the ltmodem driver, only thing is alsa removes the setup every boot.

Any ideas guys??

Well, at this point I am sick of restarting my PC every 5 minutes so I can logon to XP to use the net to find yet another page of how to install a driver which does not work. PLEASE HELP!! My System is: Epox 8RD3A+ Motherboard (which has onboard audio CMedia AC 97) with 512mb, GE Force FX 5200 Card (256mb on board) & Lucent Winmodem I have installed Mandrake 10.0 Official Download Edition and have managed to install the core 2.6.3.7 (something like that, I did not write it all down). I am running KDE 3.2 I have not been able to install my modem, I have no sound and am not sure if I have my graphics card working properly. Question 1: Modem So far with the modem I have followed the instructions at: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=13773 Unfortunately I do not know what KPPP, if I have it installed or how to install it. Can anybody help. Question 2: Motherboard Which driver do I install from the nvidia site is it the Linux driver or the Linux AMD64 driver? If I am to install the Linux driver which one do I pick out of the 10 or so, is it the NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.tar.gz??? Question 3: Graphics Card. Here I have found so many drivers and ways to install, any ideas on which one is the correct way. Is it http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=4567 or http://www.mandrake.tips.4.free.fr/nvidiainst.html PLEASE HELP! I have asked a few questions here already and have been pointed to a couple of sites, but when I follow the instructions I just get driver not supported or errors.
