i went to network configuration and clicked ont he configure location but it comes up
that the configuration can not be recognized or something....and gives a list of distributions that it is most like 10.2.0 i think is the closest

Open an xterm as root and run:

Code:

netconfig

to see if detects your nic.

Are you using the 2.4 or 2.6 kernel? If you loaded the 2.6 kernel through the installer it would not have installed the modules for the 2.6 kernel. You will need to install the 2.6 kernel modules manually.
