What an idiot I am! I moved my backup to this EFG80 device via ftp. All I have to do is connect to it and ftp my backup back down to my Linux machine! Actually, I'd have already done it already, but I can't get back on my network. I'm REALLY back to square one! I went into YAST and started inetd, but that wasn't enough. I still can't get back on my network. I did a plain vanilla install, so do I need to get some additional packages installed before I can get this up and going? I tried simply doing --
Ping 192.168.1.77 (the ip address of my Linksys EFG80 where my backup is)
It came back with "Network is unreachable". What do I need to do to get basic networking going again. My machines all connect via a Linksys 4 port Router.
Check the settings of your network card. Rich
Thanks, Greg Wallace

I go through a router. I can't even get to the router! And I mean I can't even "Ping" it! I have taken the following steps in YAST. 1) Made sure intetd was up and running 2) Gone to Network Advanced and a) Gone under Host name and DNS and *) Entered my machine name and the Domain Name I'm using in my router. *) Checked "Update name servers and search list via DHCP" b) Gone to Routing and checked "Enable IP forwarding" No luck. I still can't ping my router. I never had this problem before, and I installed from the exact same disk. I did simply take all of the default packages, but I know you don't have to install a special package just to have internet support! This is so aggravating because as soon as I can get on the network and can grab my backup and get my system back. Grrrr! Something sort of amusing about this though -- The default "wallpaper" for Root shows a round back bomb with a burning fuse and a big triangle with an exclamation mark in it. The desktop itself is bright red!! I think Linux is playing games with me!! Greg Wallace
