There is no support for ethernet devices via any of the /dev/ devices... what gave you the impression that this was how it was done? > In my modules.conf file their is a line "alias eth0 3c59x" and i Ok, so I assume that if you do "modprobe 3c59x" then you can do "lsmod" it will show that it is loaded, and if you check the output of "/sbin/ip link" then it will show an entry for eth0 with a hardware address. If this doesn't happen, then that isn't the correct driver for that card. > have copied the files /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/resolv.conf can be safely copied, but it is trivial to set up by hand. It is used to tell the system how/where to resolve host names, and it should point to your DNS server. /etc/sysconfig/network needs to be modified on a per-host basis, so that this box has a different hostname to the one you copied it from. > /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 from another machine If ifcfg-eth0 specifies a specific IP address, then it MUST be unique for each computer in your network. If it mentions dhcp then the IP address will be obtained from a local dhcpd server. > where the networking works fine. But, still I dont seem to be able > to access any other machine.
