Hi,
I've just installed debian and I don't think any of my peripherals works
properly. The first thing I want to do is to get my ethernet card up and
running to gain acces to internet. Hope you can help me.
I have a PCI ethernet card (192.168.0.2) connected to a 3com router
(192.168.0.122) which gives me DSL acces to internet. They work fine in windows.
>From the answers I've recived so far, I think the trick is the file
>/etc/network/devices. Here is a listing of it:
#/etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup (8), ifdown (8)
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
I think mine is too simple too work as doesn't contain fundamental data like
the dns from my provider. Anyone can correct it or send me a correct one? Thank
you.
Marcel
