cable internet in slackware9

(1/3) > >>

Siplus:
how do i set this up? i went through netconfig, but mozilla couldn't detect an internet connection.

i have a router, so i setup netconfig to obtain an ip address from a dhcp server.

Refalm:
Is your router running a DHCP server? If not, then that could be the problem.

Laukev7:
Are you sure your internet connexion is configured properly? I had a similar problem when I tried to install Slackware 8.1. I also have cable modem, and I have a NE2000 compatible ethernet card which could not be detected, even though the correct modules seemed to be included. Maybe you should try modprobe to check if the modules are loaded.

Siplus:
yes, my router is a dhcp server, and i beleive slackware recognises my ethernet card.

i just don't know how to set it up so it uses my ethernet card for the internet. this was easy to do in redhat9, but i don't know how in slack9

KernelPanic:
Check it has picked up the correct IP with,
ip address show

and the correct gateway settings with,
ip route show

If either of those are wrong then you know where the problem is and just have to renew the DHCP lease and/or set the gateway to be correct.
