It's real complex but here goes. See if you have a file called /etc/rc.d/rc.modules. If yes, grep -in "tulip" /etc/rc.d/rc.modules and see if you get any lines back. If yes, they're both probably comment lines. Take the # off the beginning of the line that has modprobe in it and save the /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file then reboot the computer. Once rebooted, do dmesg | less and see if an ethernet card is mentioned. Then do ifconfig -a and get the full details on your network interfaces. If eth0 shows up, try ifconfig eth0 and get the full details on the card's current settings. -- Jude <dashielljt(at)gmpexpress-dot-net>
