I just installed FC2 on my PC and everything seems to have gone ok, except I can not connect to the internet. eht0 seems to come up ok, but I am not sure how to get linux to tell me what IP and settings the card has. I need to know the 'ipconfig' command for Linux

The adapter seems to be properly detected by FC2 and it says it is active, but I seem to have no path to the internet. Is there anything I should know about this mobo or NIC? Or can someone give me a few commands to poke around and see what my settings are?

Thanks everyone.

Read the man pages for the following:
ifconfig
route
netstat

How to configure the NIC depends on whether you want to statically assign the IP, or obtain it via DHCP.

I want it to be assigned via DHCP and from what I can see, it is that way, but I have not been able to verify that the DHCP server is assigning the IP and gateway to the PC.

I'll check out those commands and see if that helps.

Thanks for your help.

You can check what IP is assigned to your card by using the ifconfig command. Routes may be viewed with the netstat command, but you need to use a couple of flags to make it show the routing table instead of sockets. Check the man page for details.
