Greetings all. I decided to get a little work done on my toy linux box today, and the subject of my curiosity happened to be network connectivity. Specificly, I wanted to make slackware see and use my cable modem. In netconfig, I entered my host and domain as requested, using my dynamic host address for the domain. Then I chose the second option, which said it was recomended for cable and DSL users that had a dynamic IP. Then it asked for a DHCP host if any. I called cogeco and they said they didn't use it. Then, of course, I let it autodetect my card, and just like that I was in. Then I hooked up the cable modem to the computer, and rebooted. When I try to get any address using the links command, it says host not found. So, I rebooted, and had a listen to the litiny of startup messages that here-to-fore, I ignored. I copied some of this business down, and wondered if it's relavent? How do I fix the errors below? are they responsible for my not being able to connect to the net? ***Begin output from linux*** 8139too fast ethernet driver 0.9.24 PCI: assigned IRQ 10for device 00:0B.0 eth0: RealTekRTL8139 fast ethernet at 0xc3823000, 00:40:f4:15:12:3d,IRQ 10 scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulationfor IDE atapi devices Using /etc/random-seed to initialize /dev/urandom.

I'd be greatful for any direction on this you can give me. Thanks, Erik -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
