SimplyMepis won't go online
i have an emachines T6528 with an AMD 64 bit cpu with 2 hard drives, xp home on drive C:,(primary master), and simplymepis 3.3 on drive D:, (primary slave) which was installed onto the hard drive when i had it in an older pc with a Celeron 32 bit cpu and had it set as primary master . Now at boot up it gives me an option to press the F2 key which shows the drives in the pc. i scroll down and choose which hard drive i want to boot to, simplymepis or the one with xp home on it.
i'm having a problem with simplymepis going online. everything else works good with it except that. could it possibly be a problem because it was installed in a 32 bit pc and now it's in a 64 bit pc and setup in a dual boot configuration? if so, i have no idea what settings to change or whatever needs to done so it will go online like xp does.
any ideas?
thanks,Jim

Open a konsole and type
lspci (note it is a small L not I)
This will give you information about some hardware chips etc.

also, have you tried opening the Mepis Control Center and turning on (enabling) the eth0 network interface? On your machine, it may come up as eth1 or something else, but it will be clickable if it exists...

E-Machines have crappy Linux support. I have never gotten a version of Mepis to work on one. You prolly have a win only ethernet adapter. Still, check the Mepis control center.

You said you had a problem going on-line, not booting.
