I just installed Linux today for the first time. So I have a whole day of experience. I was surprised that I did get it going... But I do have a big problem.... I can not connect to the internet... I can not even ping anything... every time I try to ping any address I get the message "Network is unreachable" and I don't have a clue where to go from here.
The computer I am using is a IBM Intellistation M Pro and that has a on the mother board ethernet adapter. I am using Slackware 9.1
I tried dhcp and I tried static setting but without any success.
Here is the log....

I am about ready to put Windows 95 back on the machine just to check out all the hardware and network connections. But that will take some time. I was hoping for a easy fix.
Thanks
