I have a linksys lne100tx nic and i am trying to get my ethernet connection to work at school...i do the network setup on the terminal and my switch shows that there in a connection (it didnt before i knew how to do this) when i try and ping my IP in the terminal it says the network is unreachable...i feel like the hardware is not installed or detected...i am pretty new at this so i dont know what to do this point

try "ifconfig" in the console, if it doesnt show the details for the interface then try "lsmod" this should show you the module for the NIC, and you can check /var/log/messages to see if your card is recognised( it should be )

all the best

im thinking that RH is not recognizing my NIC because I received a message that said: eth0:unknown interface: No such device

ok i got linux to recognize my eth0 connection however i still cant access any web pages or gaim or anything...whats the deal

redhat does recognise the card. My friends system has this card and i installed linux on it.

well why dont we make the matter simple!!!!! type "kudzu" in the console. it should launch an application which recognises the new hardware and then you can configure it

( if there is a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file remove it first )

Sounds like you're not picking up the nameserver addresses. I think the network configuration thing in control panel will let you pick dhcp and should config the nameservers for dhcp.

Or you can put the nameserver addresses in /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver xxx.xx.xx.xxx
nameserver yyy.yy.yy.yyy

Of course you'll have to supply the correct addresses
