My network card struggles have ended in defeat. The Linksys installed great in Caldera 2.4, but I could not get it working in SuSE 7. This afternoon I stuck in an old 3Com ISA and it worked immediately. I have the linksys 10/100 nic working good both at work an at home. suse 7.0 detects them as a lite on card if im not wrong an they are working with no trouble. Now i did have to go in an set up a static ip on the card for it would not get the ip from dhcp server from the linksys router but thats ok i really wanted it to be static anyways. I'm planing soon to let suse manage my dsl

You need to look in the yellow pages for your nearest MacDonalds.....I'd choose one with a play place myself....... Seriously though, it stands for media access address. it is how your computer sees your NIC. Do "ifconfig" as root and under eth0 you will see Hdwaddr as a string of colon-seperated numbers such as : 00:40:05:71:65:E7. And that's all I know...... -- TRBishop tb64710@ltec.net RLU#12043 SuSE6.4 KDE2.0

I am now getting about 2 screens of startup messages (when booting Linux) listing various rc directories and saying "command not found." All of the messages (and there are quite a few, about 2 screens, I'd say) all mention "207.217.77.82" and "command not found."
for information I did a host on that IP.. buffy:/etc # host 207.217.77.82 82.77.217.207.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer rns2.earthlink.net So, from the name, a dns somewhere.. I suggest you post a short extract from the error messages .. Cliff

Yes, you are correct sir! That is the secondary DNS of Earthlink. Thank you! So now I need to figure out why suddenly I get all these startup messages. They began when I installed my network card, but why?
I suggest you post a short extract from the error messages
Are these in a log file somewhere? Thanks. *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.0 Professional KMail 1.0.29.2 Bryan S. Tyson bryantyson@earthlink.net ***************************************************
