Hey Everyone, Sorry if this is slightly off topic but..
I recently installed potato r3 on my laptop (Asus A1200, with SIS 630 chipset etc). During the installation, dbootstrap correctly configured internet access through a sis900 LAN card. I was then able to use the card to upgrade to woody. When I rebooted after this, I could no longer get online. I am on a windows network connected to a cable modem (dynamic IP reassigned every 12 hours or so) via a sygate home network server (http://www.sygate.com/swat/products/gate_ov.htm). I have tried: ifup and ifdown, which work as expected, but do not bring me online. ifconfig eth0 gives the following output: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:18:1A:81:E3 inet addr:192.168.0.2 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:169 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:25 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:11396 (11.1 KiB) TX bytes:3438 (3.3 KiB) Interrupt:5 Base address:0xb000 doing /etc/init.d/networking stop or start again does not help /etc/network/inferfaces shows auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp I also tried pump which again didn't work, it seems to stop responding. I am guessing that the problem is a simple one, but I am newish to Linux so I could be wrong. It seems to me that I just can't get an ip in any of the ways I have tried. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. I am still using the original 2.2.17 kernel, unchanged from the potato installation. As a side note, a few days ago there was a small thread on alsa for sis 7018. Did anyone get any further with this, as I would be interested to know how to get my sound to work. Again, any ideas would be greatly appreciated, Will ----------------- Please Reply To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------
