hello, I made a home network with 5 computers using a router...
all 5 computers connects to the router and also the CABLE modem...

after that all computers has an Internet connection and they can share stuff with each other on WINDOWS I installed on my computer Slackware 10.0...
now before I had a cable modem and a router I used to type adsk-start and it would work... but now it dosent work because I dont have ADSL anymore and because I have a router...
How can I set up my linux so it would connect to the network?

Thanks

Your GATEWAY="192.168.0.1" will be the router address

Post as root

Code:

ifconfig eth0

then

Code:

route

then post that,
If eth0 shows up you can manually start it with;

Code:

 Using ifconfig

# ifconfig eth0 ${IP_ADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK} up

Now set up routing using route. Substitute ${GATEWAY} with your gateway IP address:

 Using route

# route add default gw ${GATEWAY}

what happens
