My car won't start. What's wrong with it?
I don't feel well. What's wrong with me?
For us to help you, then you have to provide enough information for us to work with.
Distro, version, network card, what have you tried so far, how was it originially loaded on bootup before it stopped working, have you done any research yourself on this problem?
Maybe this bbs should have a forum that IS REQUIRED to be filled out with all the pertinent info whenever a question is asked. It would save time and get the persons pc up and running a little faster.

Hey guys, take it easy. Not everyone is network savvy...or pc savvy for that matter. If this guy were a new user to linux, what do you think his chances are in coming back to it, if anyone he asks gives him crap.
I'm not saying that we have enough info, we don't, but to the less savvy, he may think he gave us all the necessary info.
He may be a newbie but we wanna keep him on our side don't we? Down with M$ =)
That being said, (sorry to rant...I work on a helpdesk and get the old "not enough info" caller all the time), please post us your linux distribution (mandrake, suse, debian..etc) your type of network card, any error message, and what you've tried already.
The more detail the better...

Man, my love life is going down the drain. It used to be good, but it's not anymore. Can anyone help me? :D
j/k.... but yeah, along with what everyone else said (no need for me to repeat), you might also want to include any changes you might have been making to your system at that time. (such as recompiling your kernel, editing certain files, etc.)

yes I agree that newer folks don't know
exactly what to ask at times, and are
just putting a feeler out to find someone
that might have enough expertise in a
certain area to ask for clarification and
then give some help. When we get to be able
to accomplish a lot of things on the OS
we should still be helpful and we probably
can give the right answers in a snap if we
knew what it was he were asking, and avoid
some poor dude a week of hassle and giving
up and going back to Gates-dom. I was working
with Redhat myself a few weeks ago, and
while booting it locked up for 3 minutes
trying to start my eth0 card, which works
fine under Mandrake, I still don't know
why, and that could be an anomaly of my
system, but many of us can help, and often
many of us are not even here (such as myself)
for long periods of time when we have no
questions, but at the time we are here, it's
good karma to read all the posts and give
just the right encouragement to convert
a new believer to Linux... just my 2cents
