I've got a Realtek 8139 networkcard and i'm connected to a other Windows computer wich is connected to a DSl line.
Now i have to setup the card in Libranet.
I've read the manual from the Libranet website and it says to go to the Main Configuration Menu, now my question is....how do i get there ?

Sorry I haven't used Libranet, but I think I heard someone say its based on Debian. (?)
Are you using a GUI, or the bash shell? If you are using a Gui, which one? If in a bash shell try typing netconfig, or something along those lines. But give us a little more info

On the desktop: IceWM-->Xadminmenu
In the console run adminmenu

With my KDE, I could use the KDE Control Center to setup my ethernet card. DNS, ip address etc. lots of stuff.

I know about the "adminmenu" but there's no option for configuring the network only for dial-up connection.

If your using KDE, then click on the big K in the bottom left and search through the menus for anything on networking or system configuring. That would be my guess.

If you're using a recent version of Libranet (1.9.0 or 1.9.1), use xadminmenu (from a term window). Just click on the network tab and then you can configure your card and network setup from there.
Hope this helps.

Well, i tried that xadminmenu in an term window but it says: "command not found".
In the KDE menu under network is only a setup for talk configuration ?
In adminmenu is only a setup for a dial-up networking.
I think the version of Libranet i'm using is 1.8
Anymore suggestions ?
This is the first Debian based linux i was able to install if i could just get that network going......

Does Libranet have anymore documentation available at their website?
Did you try what was suggested - netconfig?

If i type "netconfig" in an xterm it gives me
Command not found
Is there a way i can install the downloaddable ISO of the 1.9.1 version and install this from the harddrive ?
I don't have a cd burner...

If you're using a Debian derivitive, the config file for your ethernet card (eth0) lives in /etc/network/interfaces. Edit that to look something like this:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
network 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
#gateway 192.168.1.3
If you are using a 2.4.x kernel the Realtek module is 8139too.o. In older kernels it's rtl8139.o. You may want to browse /lib/modules/ to see what the module name is. If it is 8139too.o then do:
modprobe 8139too
If you don't get any errors add it to the modules you want autimatically loaded with:
echo "8139too" >> /etc/modules
Then do /etc/init.d/networking restart
Running /sbin/ifconfig should now show your eth0 device up.
BTW, what is this "Main Configuration Menu" and "Control Center"? Are we still talking about Linux?
