  1. I have tried 3 different NIC cards, trying to resolve ips with dhcp and entering in the proper static ip information from both my router and directly connecting to my cable modem. All three cards to not connect successfully. And instead of a blinking lite showing activity on my switch it stays solid green. (same for all 3 NIC's) I am running out of ideas any help would be appreciated. Comp: Dual p3 450mhz box with 512 rd ram. All cards are getting found fine. Os: Mandrake 10.2 Cards: IntelCorp EitherExpress Pro/100+ Realtek - RTL - 8139 ADMTEK /ADM983 Linksys Eitherfast 10/100 Help?

    Ok guys here is the update. Yes it does say connection failed in the control centre. After clearing out all cards and putting one in and then setting it up I have elimited all eth's other then eth0. When I run ifconfig and ifup it says : SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy. When I run dhclient eth0 I get a bunch of text saying make sure I read the readmes and download the software from a ftp site. And this error: sit0: unknown hardware address type 776 sbin/dhclient-script: configuration for eth0 not found sit0: unknown hardware address type 776 bind socket to interface: no such device. I have not run linux in several years and I never was terribly familiar with it. But I have done my fair share of windows networking and all my settings are correct on static ip including the dns info.(at least for a windows comp) Thanks for your help guys if you have any more ideas I'm all ears.

    Is it time to give up on Mandriva?

    I didnt configure the firewall but I did turn it off to test it and the same problems occured. I did set the connection to start at boot as well, should it not be? Is it possible that the connection is trying to run a DHCP server in itself and it conflict with the router's DHCP?

    This connection still is not cooperating. I did as you said and completely cleared all network connections and the one card did reset to eth0, it still wont connect. And the little connection icon in the "task bar?" shows the fancy little red X all the time. Any other thoughs guys?

    I'm back to the grind today, so I will let you know how it goes in about 10 hours when I'm off. Cheers Guys. p.s. Dan I did try removing all connections with the mandrake config tools and re-adding.

    Ok I took out all but one NIC. Setup static as I did before and as it works on the Windows comps. And I ran that command, no luck. Here is some pics to help explain. http://www.regalhosting.ca/images/DSC02022.JPG http://www.regalhosting.ca/images/DSC02023.JPG

    I am at work for a few hours still but I will take a look into the terminal command and tell you my findings. I have also tried taking out all cards but one but same results. No onboard lan on that mobo. And I was using the internet utility. I will post findings when I get home. Thanks again.

    Well currently my setup goes like this Cable Mododem -> Linksys Wireless Router -> Several windows comps and this linux box. (hardwire connection to linux box) I have setup dhcp on the router and it work perfectly with windows comps. Several windows comps have port forwarding so i have set them up to use static internal ips on the router. I have tried both static and dhcp setups for the linux box NIC's but I can not get anything going properly. Thanks for your help
