Network Card
 

Apache / Internet server aside for a moment. If I want to set up an office file & print server using a slack'd pc which I already have running and is quite problem free, what are the first steps to putting this into place?

I have a network card, not sure if its configured as it needs to be. Please will someone point me in the right direction or should I go out and buy a slck/linux proven network card for under £20.00 to make things bulletproof.

Thanks in advance,

If you already have a network card it might be wise to at least try to get it going before purchasing another NIC, don't you agree? :)

Please let us know the exact make and model of the card, plus the output from lspci -v. Also, have you tried setting it up before and if so, what problems did you come across?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. The pc does have a network card installed but without any identification on it.

I will try the lspci command and post back if you sub to the thread you wil see hopefully in the next day or so.

thanks
