Hi, I am just new to linux. Previously I have used the Realtek 8139 in win98 and it has worked just fine. But I just installed linux on a second HD. I didn't install LILO. So I have to put in a LILO disk to start up linux. But when I do my ethernet card doesn't work. I have a cable modem which is connected to a hub and 3 computers come out of that hub and grab 3 ips. My is one of them. I am pretty sure I have it configured correctly. When using win98, I used a DCHP config to for it to work-I didn't specify any ips. But in linux I gave all the information it needed and it won't get online.
I have verified that the kernel module is set to rtl8139. This automatically was set for me. but when I check the lights on the NIC card they don't light up like they do in windows. I don't know what to do??
The other problem is... I can't use my floppy in linux. It keeps giving me errors when I try to access it. I logged in as superuser and gave myself access but it still will not function. It can only read my LILO disk.
Need help???
thanks
