Dave, I tried the network configurator but had no success with it.
I wonder if someone can point me to a site that contains the details of
how I can connect my machine up to the net. I need something that can
really explain to me what I need to do and why.
Cheers.
Bal.

To see how I can get my demudi distro to connect to the internet but I
am
getting nowhere.
I loaded up Network settings and added a connection for eth0 Lan card
but
when I tell it to conenct it just does nothing. The
mouse pointer
still
works but I get no reponse from anything and I still
can not connect to
the
internet.
Can someone guide me through this process please.
Hi Bal:
It was a pain for me too, but I finally figured out a way to make it
work.
I'm on a high-speed cable modem connection. On some systems it
connects automatically (my laptop with RH9) and on others it doesn't (my
desktop with RH9 and Debian Etch). With RH9 I simply do (as root) :
/etc/init.d/network restart
Unfortunately that doesn't work with my Debian system. I discovered that
I could do this :
pump -i eth0
I'm not sure about the option flag, I'm not at that machine. Btw, I
think you'll need to be the root user.
That completely knocks out eth0. Then I run this command :
ifup eth0
And that makes the connection. Weird, I know, but it works.
As someone else wrote, you may have good luck with the GNOME network
configurator, it's worth a try.
Best,
dp
