[TriLUG] Linux Installations Problems

[Dean Price]

Thank you for taking the time to review my problem.

As I stated, I have changed network cards (both of which works under SuSE)
but neither of which work in either Mandrake or Redhat.

I actually have more network cards but given the fact that both cards that
I have tried work in suse but not the others tells me that it is not a
card issue. (did I mention that both cards work in WinXP)

Don't get me wrong I love linux, I have it on 3 other boxes that I have.
But I just want it to work on this box

As for my network config, it is basic.. ip192.168.0.51 mask 255.255.255.0
gw 192.168.0.1 dns 192.168.0.1

These point to my linux router
