How do you connect the external lan card?

If you connected the card while the computer is running you might search through dmesg to see what the card was called, or try to do an ifconfig -a to see if it shows up. If this is the only NIC card on the machine it will probably be eth0. In which case you will want to do a

Code:

dhcpcd eth0

or

Code:

dhclient eth0

only use eth0 if you know that is where your lan card is set too.

Here is how to set the card if with a static. Again check to see where your card is actaully defaulting too.

Code:

ifconfig eth0 [addr] netmask [netmask]
route add default gw [gateway]
