How to activate SiS900?
 

I need to know how to activate eth0. I'm pretty sure that it's activated at startup, but when I go to surf to web or get mail, everything says it can't connect to wherever. I have activity lights on the front of my case going to that ehernet port, and they show it having a connection, and data is passing though. Help?

darkruss; could be at server end. from ur description ur end is operating & connecting but not getting through == server.

First make sure that the IP is installed and address are assigned.

Check by pinging local/and other machines on the net.

In system-tools, open the network setup and see if the port is active and what IP address is assigned.

IF you are using a router (cable/DSL) then it should be giving you the correct IP address if you are using DHCP.

-- go step by step and you will find out.

Yes THX I've gotten it to work now. Really all I did was reactivate eth0 and it worked.

D.R.; GOOD JOB! all the Confidence in U!
