are there any known problems with this and linux? because I have that card on my linux machine... and it does NOT want to work =/ I guess it does work, but the only problem is that it wont' connect to my router.

the D-Link 530TX+ is the exact same card i have running LInux Redhat7.1 and it works fine in my computer...

altho i setup my network configuration as a static IP (not DHCP) the default Gateway should have the same number as the IP address with a router 192.168.1.100, and 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask, your name server will depend on what your ISP uses on their servers...

yea, thats what i have, using the static ip, the only thing that I think is wrong is that it asks for a hostname and DNS, i'm guessing that my router (linksys) doesn't care what i use for hostname.. but i don't know what i should use for the DNS...

your DNS is the server of your ISP...

DNS = Domain Name server, it is the IP of your ISP that your computer connects to...there are usually 2 address but your computer uses the first one on the list, and only the second one if the first one is not working...

The modem seems to send data to the router, but it isn't getting anything back, and when i try to ping it, it says

from 192.168.1.101 (the computer's IP) to default host unreachable, or something similar to that

I also have a Linksys router and use static addresses for all my home pc's.

This pc is configured as so

ip = 192.168.1.4
gw = 192.168.1.1 (points to router)
nm = 255.255.255.0
bc = 192.168.1.255
dns is set to my isp's two dns servers.

My Router is set with the hostname assigned to me by @home (cr180###-a)
