If setting a static one doesnt work, then is your net card module loaded?

When you manually set a static IP you also have to configure the gateway address and the dns addresses. You will probably need a subnet mask and broadcast setting as well. My guess is that the W2K isn't running a DCHP server. There may also be a proxy server running in the W2K. You can configure the proxy address and port in your browser.

Hi there, on my XP & Centos configs I had no problem connecting to the Win 2k DHCP/proxy server etc. On this Ubuntu install (dual boot with XP) checking the networking DCHP settings are all grayed out & set a static IP, subnet mask & gateway - the proxy to the internet connects for say 1 minute - then I get disconnected.
Any more tips, thanks.

W2K is getting very old, even the version Microsoft stopped supporting some time ago. There are a number of different proxy protocols -- for example SOCKS which isn't used much any more. There's also SOCKS ver 4 and 5. Perhaps your proxy problem relates to that. Firefox and other browsers offer a number of configuration options for different proxy types. Perhaps that can help you.

What was your solution? Did you use a different card? Clean install that worked? We all learn if we know.

...and here's the fix from Ubuntuforums.org...
The solution to fix this is relatively easy. It's made up of only 2 steps.
First, you need to add dmfe to /etc/modules. To do this you need to open up modules with gedit by typing the following code into a terminal.
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/modules
Then, you need to add "dmfe" to this, without the quotes. Make sure you save.
Finally, you need to blacklist the tulip driver so it wont run at startup. To do this you need to run the following in a terminal.
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
After this is opened, you need to add "blacklist tulip", without the quotations, somewhere in the file. Then save.
After both of these steps have been completed, restart your system, and voila, you now magically have a working ethernet adapter.
