Ok, I finally decided to stop running Mepis off the live cd again and give up some Windoze space to a Linux partition for Mepis. I remembered from doing this before that if I wanted to configure my cable modem I needed to go into the OSCenter, open Network Interfaces, click on the eth0 and make sure it is running "stop" not "start" But even though I clicked on that it won't stop??? I clicked on eth1 and it will stop. (unfortunately that doesn't bring up the net for me) can anyone help me with this?
