The odd thing about it is that I have installed Puppy 4.2.1 on another Intel board ( D945GCLF2 ) where it is assigned a propper IP.
The NIC hardware I belive is working prorperly on the D945GSEJT since it works under Ubuntu.
I am not sure if Puppy 4.2.1 has a DHCP client built in but as mentioned earlier Puppy 4.2.1 runs the NIC properly on the other Intel boards.
In doing some research I came across a blog (
http://jonashagmar.blogspot.com/2009...nap-turbo.html ) that indicates that a wrong module (r8169) loads (in a Debian installation). There were directions to load the correct module (r8168) but this does not appear applicable to Puppy Linux. If it is the case that an incorrect module is loading under Puppy is there anyone that can suggest direction?
Thank you
