network card install


I have installed Linux Mandrake 7.0 on a pentium 1 machine. The install went smoothly; now I have installed a PCI network card, I can ping 127.0.0.1 but I can't see the machine on the network. What program can I run to configure the card. old man rhbryant@comcast.net

Mandrake 7.0 is extremely old and depending on the card it may not have the required modules in the default install. Do you know the make/model of the network card? BTW pinging 127.0.0.1 is all internal and does not actually use any hardware.

Post the output of the command lspci.

Also how much memory is installed in this PC?
