ifconfig just yields the first results way back in this thread... there is only a listing for something called " lo "

there's no eth0 listing. I have an Intel Pro/1000 CT listing in windows Device manager under network adapters.

I downloaded the driver for my network adapter from intel with a .tar extension. It's saved in windows. How do i install it under Linux?

That shouldn't be very hard. How about you go to the Slackware forum, introduce yourself, give us all the info I mentioned above, and then tell them you downloaded that driver. Then someone who maybe has a similar card can help you. So my suggestion is: go to the Slack forum (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...?s=&forumid=14), and we'll take it from there.

I did the dmesg | grep eth0" and it tells me the following

Eth0: NatSemi DP83815 at 0xcc85c000, 00:ia0:cc:76:8e:61, IRQ10.

Eth0: Transceier Status 0x7849 advertising 0Se1

Eth0: Setting full-duplex based on negotated link capablitiy

What does this mean?? im still trying to setup my cable modem an NIC card...

well, looks to me like the card is functioning ok. dmesg lists all messages shown during boot, which is when stuff usually gets initialized, grep eth0 searches for any mention of eth0. since that seems ok, try ifconfig and see if your device still seems like it's up and running. i would guess it has something to do with dhcp, but i really don't know. you might want to try starting your own thread for this....
