Hi, I am just new to linux. Previously I have used the Realtek 8139 in =
win98 and it has worked just fine. But I just installed linux on a =
second HD. I didn't install LILO. So I have to put in a LILO disk to =
start up linux. But when I do my ethernet card doesn't work. I have a =
cable modem which is connected to a hub and 3 computers come out of that =
hub and grab 3 ips. My is one of them. I am pretty sure I have it =
configured correctly. When using win98, I used a DCHP config to for it =
to work-I didn't specify any ips. But in linux I gave all the =
information it needed and it won't get online. =20
I have verified that the kernel module is set to rtl8139. This =
automatically was set for me. but when I check the lights on the NIC =
card they don't light up like they do in windows. I don't know what to =
do??
The other problem is... I can't use my floppy in linux. It keeps giving =
me errors when I try to access it. I logged in as superuser and gave =
myself access but it still will not function. It can only read my LILO =
disk.
Need help???
thanks=20
