'netconfig' in Slackware 9.0
I have just installed slackware 9.0 and with a bit of reading made a new user and started X. I am now faced with the problem of making what i think is an on-board generic network card to work. On the slackware website it says do 'netconfig' when logged in as root. I logged in as root and typed netconfig but it brung up a very different screen to the one shown on the website. I would post the link but i am not allowed until i have done 5 posts :mad:
Does anyone know why this is? :scratch: Thanks PS If you are wondering why i installed slackware 9.0, it is because i downloaded and burned it a while back but never got round to installing it. |
The one on the website most likely an older version. Just follow the steps as they are almost the same to setup your networking.

I have done this using the DHCP thing and it seemed to have worked but i can only access a http server running on my windows pc (192.168.1.8) and not the internet. The DHCP routing table on my router's control panel does not list the machine which, i think is the problem. All other linux distros did this fine :(
