neworking problem
 
Ok I am a complete noob in linux and I have a problem. I installed slackware 11, ALSA and nVidia drivers and everything is working fine, exept the network. I heve an unnamed wireles router, but the PC I have slack on is wired ( the router has 4 sockets for wireing). Everything works fine on windows is working fine so I guess it's not the router. I chose DHCP on the netconfig and it detected tulip lan card which module has been loaded, but when I write ifconfig there is no eth0. If I write the IP (192.168.2.101-thats the adress which windows used to give me) manualy in inet1.conf, it shows eth0 with the ip but I still can't connect to the router or i-net. Can you tell me where am I mistaken
P.S. Sorry for my English

If eth0 doesn't show up in the ifconfig list it means (hopefully) simply that the interface isn't just configured. There's a tool in Slackware for doing that; I thought it would be just netconfig but if you've run it, then there's something odd with it. As I don't remember what dhcp client Slackware tends to use by default, try running either of these commands:
Code:

dhcpcd eth0
dhclient eth0

and see if that does anything..

Well I've tried dhcpcd eth0, it just stood there for a few minutes and nothing changed, I've tried ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.101 and eth0 appeart as it shoud be but I still don't have ping to the router to which the PC is go**amn wired.
10x for trying to help anyway :)
