eyner: your question really doesn't tell us anything.

Can you let us know the following:
your hardware, incl. the modem model
how are you trying to connect
what you have done, so far, to get it to work
what you mean by "it does not work"

Giving full details in a post helps us to help you.

Thank you and I am sorry I did not give full details.

I have Windows XP and Linux 9.0 both dual boot working GOOODD.
Internet is working just fine using Windows xp profesional but when I switch to red hat 9.0 and I try to go online does not work. In Red hat I when to Internet wizard cofiguration and I did it THE option xdsl and entered the information of my account and password and it says that it can't connect.
that's it
Thanks

How are you trying to connect - USB or ethernet?

eyner · 02-09-2004, 02:49 PM

ethernet

in a terminal, use su to become root and type ifconfig - is your card detected? Was it detected during the RH install?

eyner · 02-09-2004, 02:53 PM

yes, it is detect. Actually the card that I am using is A Link.

XavierP · 02-09-2004, 02:58 PM

does ifconfig show your ip address?

eyner · 02-09-2004, 02:59 PM

not it does not.
thanks

Do you have the drivers for your ethernet card? Linux drivers, that is.

eyner · 02-09-2004, 03:05 PM

not really I mean it works just fine and Windox so I haven't look for drivers at all. and like I said my card is D-LINKDL 2000-based
thank you

using su, run the command lspci and post details of your ethernet card

eyner · 02-09-2004, 03:12 PM

using su, when?
at the x server in red hat 9.0 or when.
sorry I am a newbee. please bear with me
thanks

XavierP · 02-09-2004, 03:19 PM

open a terminal.

type in su -c lspci and hit enter, at the prompt enter the root password and hit enter.

From the list which comes up, copy and paste the entry(s) for your ethernet card into a new post.
