Hi all! I am new to Linux so I got zipspeak that installs slackware and speakup. Well, now I am trying to use netconfig. I am connected to internet through a speedy so I got my ip address and the ip address of the gateway in the network properties in windows. I put this information with netconfig but as I try to ping I receive the message network unreachable. This happens even if I ping my own ip. So I guessed linux didn't recognize my net card. Am I correct? How can I know if Linux got my net card correctly? Am I doing some thing wrong? Thanks, Alexandre.
