Guest billforce Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 My sytem, dual boot Win XP and MDK 9.0 on MSI, Duron 900, 256 PC133, SCSI HD and 3Com HomeConnect Shark modem. Modem works great with XP USB....problem, no USB drivers for Linux. I installed an Intel NIC, Linux recognizes that the card is installed but can't connect the cable modem.??? billforce "In the valley of the blind, the one eyed man is king!"

mdg Posted November 18, 2002 Report Share Posted November 18, 2002 I set up my cable using static values, not automatic-DHCP. Look in Control Center/Network and Internet/Connections and see if you have IP address and gateway.There's a wizard you can run to configure the modem manually. You'll need to know your IP, gateway, DNS, netmask and hostname Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 Try going to Mandrake Control Center>Network & Internet>Connection. Under LAN Configuration check to see if under "State" it says up. Also note the driver being used. You can reconfigure the NIC and internet connection by ticking the Wizzard button. I didn't see any Intel NICs listed under supported hardware on Mandrake's site so you may have some problems with this card. If you reconfigure through Wizzard, you will have an opportunity to select the driver. See if there's an option for your card you can select.

Guest billforce Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Ran down the problem, PC is O.K. The ISP had to configure their system to accept the NIC card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
