ok ive been using Mandrake 9.1 for a few days. I am trying to just be able to CONNECT TO THE INTERNET!!!
Anyways, I have a Asus A7N8x with Nvidia chipset with a built in ethernet card. I found out how to install the rpm for it, and Linux recognizes it and all. Now i just need to configure it I guess.
I ran the drakeconnect and used the wizard. Set it to auto IP because im going through a hub, and then a router that hands out ip's.
When the wizard was done... Nothing. No connection, nada.
So I used the expert mode and set the gateway to 192.168.0.1 which is the routers ip, and I left the get ip as auto for the dhcp. Is there anything I missed? Well i think thats what i did.
So I click connect, the window pops up, but just like before it sits there a while, trying to send. Sometimes It will recieve like a few bits, but I am not sure if the router actually sees it or not, or if Linux can see the router.
Any help would be great!!!
also, Someone said that I could like, connect through wane, but first of all, where is wane In mandrake, and how would I go about doing that. If you can solve the above problem, then just forget about this, but I still wouldn't mind knowing where wane is.
Looks like I answered my own question! Had to do a couple of things but got it working, I'm on my crash and burn box right now!! If anyone is interested let me know!
