just installed Mandrak 8.0 with no problems except I can't get on the net.
Have a Linksys card going to my cable modem. The card was autodetected and given the Tulip driver to use.
Did the connection wizard setting it up to use DHCP. That didn't work, then I tried it static, using all the info from my windows machine (winipcfg) where it used to be hooked up at...still nothing; arghh
Any ideas at all? I'm pretty much a newbie on this Linux so I'm sure it's just me being stupid.
Should I compile the tulip driver that came with my netcard or is the tulip drver that was automatically assigned to it the same?
Thanx for any help
