I have, as the title may hint, trouble with getting a working network.
All help files I've been looking at have told me that Slackware would try to autodetect my network card when configuring the network. However, it never did that for me. I figured I had to specify it myself in rc.modules, but the computer with Slackware is about 5-6 years old, so I have absolutely no idea what type of card it is. I've just been hoping I might be lucky and it working anyway.
Choosing the DHCP option in netconfig yields me no luck, but choosing static IP and entering some random 192.168.0.x IP-adress seems to work... a little. I "can" ping the IP of this computer, meaning it won't give me unknown host or whatever, but it can't find a route to it.
The computer I'm at now (running winXP) is the "master", with internet and all, and I'm using an USB network card (connected to the windows comp) to connect the slack-machine together with this.. I've also tried connecting the adsl-modem directly to the linux comp, and using DHCP in netconfig, but alas...
I really need help, learning to use Linux without internet feels a bit awkward.
