Ok I have decided that I am pretty sure it is a nic problem so I am going to go out and buy a linksys nic card I have tryed different cables and have not tryed different cards cause I have one extra and it's the same as the current one

I have found out the problem apparently the 8139too driver is flacky on linux 2.3 2.4 and what not and I have found a more up to date driver that I am going to try to install.... if this don't work then I am going to buy another nick card

Hi,
I've been using a linksys router for the past 6 months and I didn't have any issues trying to get my linux (redhat 7.3 and 9.0) to work. DHCP worked fine and also in the DMZ setting. I also have Win XP, 95, and 98 machines connected. Can you ping your DNS addresses? Did you get the router new or used, if it was used set it back to default or double check that no one setup anything under the advanced tabs. As far as the tx and rx errors, I would give a quick check to make sure both ends are set for auto negotiate. If it's an older router check it's code level..

It's not a router issue man it's a nic issue

thx tho

well all it is true it was a driver issue I put a dlink nic card in and it dhcp alright and is up and running fully thx for your help all

Hey, I'm new to Linux. I have slackware 9.0...how do I configure the router to work with it...the other computer on the router have WIndows....HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

Are the window machines using dhcp to get a ip?
