I am assuming that this is because you do not have a cat5 cable connecting you to the router and you rely on the wireless adapter, which in turn has not been configured? > livecd ~ # ifconfig > eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:88:37:FA:22 Do you know which device this MAC address belongs to? lshw should show you. It seems that only one device is configured (eth0). Knowing which device (wired or wireless) is mapped to eth0 would help the whole process. OK you have two adaptors: > 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI > Fast Ethernet (rev 91) > 00:09.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet (rev 10) I don't know which one is a wireless and which one is a wired NIC (from a quick google they both look like wired PCI cards to me). > livecd ~ # lsmod > Module Size Used by > sis900 20992 0 > 8139too 22912 0 > mii 7168 2 sis900,8139too Modules have been installed. > livecd ~ # dmesg | grep -i net > Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 7.2.9-k4 > 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.28 This does not have a configured interface. > eth1: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xb000, IRQ 22, 00:16:ec:23:af:88. > 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.28 > eth1: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xb000, IRQ 22, 00:16:ec:23:af:88. This one does and it is eth1. When you run /sbin/dhcpcd eth1 what do you get? You may also want to try iwconfig eth0, or iwconfig eth1 in case either are wireless adaptors. If none of your PCI cards are wireless you may want to modprobe -r 8139too since it is not being recognised anyway, re- modprobe -v sis900 and check what is shown under ifconfig as a recognised NIC device. Hope this helps. -- Regards, Mick
