I am running a Gigagbyte GA8S661FXMP-RZ Motherboard with 1 GB memory installed. It is a dual processor motherboard but I am only running one 1xP4 2.4 GHz CPU. I have 2 IDE drives (first in line) and one SATA drive where I have both XP and Fedora 7 installed. There are 3 partitions on the SATA drive: the first one for XP, the second for storage and the third for Linux. I have a Radeon 9800 pro Video card and a Viewsonic VG2021m LCD monitor. I am having no problems whatsoever with sound or video.......I just can't get the internet working. My adaptor is a SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet Adaptor - Packet Scheduler Miniport, type, ethernet-csmacd, 100 Mbps. I have tried everything to get Linux hooked up to the internet.....I tried setting the eth0 to DHCP, BootP and Dialup, I tried changing the IP, Gateway and subnet masks from the values provided to me by my ISP (even though they are only needed for static IP's (and mine is dynamic) to "server"......and on and on and on...I cannot get eth0 to activate and so I am not even yet here mentioning whether my ADSL connection will activate or is setup right as it is my assumption that if eth0 doesn't activate, neither will ADSL. I would sure appreciate any and all help. I am admittedly a newbie to Linux although I have tried installing it on several occasions alongside windows in the past, I have never really reached out for help with failed installs and just abandoned them. This is as far as I have ever got and I am anxious to make it work. Sound, video and everything are working just can't get hooked up to the internet which is my primary reason for wanting to run Linux.

is your connection a PPoE or a PPoA?? I assume that is PPoE. If so, you have to configure ppp separately by the Ethernet card and activate pppd... Hope it can help... -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag
