slackware eth0 setup
 

I've just switched from Mandrake to Slackware, and I've installed everything fine, im just trying to get the internet connection set up. I have cable, and I remember when I had Mandrake running it pretty much detected my connection automatically, or asked me if im connected to a LAN, at boot I would see "detecting internet connection eth0", something like that, but Mandrake isnt here to hold my hand anymore so I need to figure out how to setup my ethernet connection. Any help will be much appreciated.

to set up ur ethernet card run

netconfig

in slackware

regards

Thanks for your advice, but I was actually able to enable my ethernet connections with:

ifconfig eth0 up

followed by:

dhcpcd eth0

netconfig is required when u have not setup ur ethernet card/ip address
