I've never used SuSe so I don't know how to help you with that. I can help you with a generic, non-distro-specific way to enable your network card and cable modem. I have no idea about yast, though.
hey, any help is always appreciated...I just don't know when people tell me go to yast and write such thing in the terminal and enable such device...i dont know what they are talking about...is it konsole? because in Yast there are at least 2 editors....anyways,,,thanks!
The terminal is not an editor. It is where you type commands. Usually it's a window (if you're running X) with a black (but not always) background and a prompt that looks a little like this:
Code:
adz@hades:~$
There are many different kinds of terminals (like xterm, aterm, eterm, gnome-terminal, konsole, etc) but they all do the same thing. Did you ever use DOS? Think DOS-style prompt.
ok, en mi caso es Konsole...Gracias!
cuando me decias que escribiera lsmod era en konsole...ya lo hice y salen muchas cosas escritas....entre ellas sale algo en referencia al ethernet y parece estar bien, tambien escribi ifup eth0 y me dice que dhcp es bueno...no se que mas hacer...
ese ultimo comando lo encontre en otro foro...
ooppss sorry, i thought i was writing on another forum...
translation...
in my case that's Konsole, thanks!
I wrote what you said (lsmode) and in all that comes back from the computer the reference to the eth0 and seems to be ok. I also wrote ifup eth0 and it says the dhcp is good, I don't know what else to do other than probably configure the browser? What else can I try on Konsole?
That last command I found on another forum.
Well all that's left really is ping. Try pinging yourself, another computer of your network (if you have one) and then an internet site. If all those work then you're connected. In your browser, all you set up are proxies assuming you have any to configure.
I just installed RedHat 9 and I'm trying to get it to recognize my Motorola Surfboard cable modem. It's connected by USB, and I have no other choice due to a lack of an ethernet card. Any ideas?
