Ok I give... I've installed Debian 2.1 on my test machine. My network is unreachable. I've installed dhcpcd, which has worked fine on my other 2 machines, and it says that the dhcpcd daemon is started, then I get an 'unknown host' message when I try to ping another address. My card has worked with Mandrake, and even with slink when I install from a certain CD which I purchased from Linux Central. It seems that when I install from any other CD of slink, I cannot get dhcpcd to work.
I conclude from this that I don't know what I'm doing with dhcpcd (networking is my weakest area of Linux), and that my other two machines are working quite by coincidence. I'm using roadrunner, and it works fine with dhcpcd on the two machines that have running. Does anyone have any ideas about what I'm obviously missing? kometboy
