Linux

[skull]

Alright I finally got around to messing around with linux some more. It won't ping its self. The only thing I can think of is the kernal module setting. What should I put there I have a dlink network card if it matters.

I think most D-Links user the tulip driver.

First try ifup eth0. Then do an ifconfig and see if eth0 is up.

If that doesn't work, then try insmod tulip, then ifup eth0, then use ifconfig again to see if that worked.

Alright I got the tulip kernal module running. Its still not working. Where do I change the other settings you mentioned?

Also I when I was messing around I kind of made it not go into into X from boot. How do I get into X and set it back? Can you tell I'm a newbie? ( that will teach me to mess around with stuff under root)

edit *i'm running mandrake 7.1*

startx starts X

edit /etc/inittab and set the default runlevel to 5 for the GUI

Try this:

dmesg | grep eth See what is says.
