VanBuren Posted August 24, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 24, 2005 i just installed SuSE and i still cant get on the internet... its not detecting my onboard 10/100 Ethernet card where can i get linux version of the drivers? i just relax and see how things work for you TriRan before i try this I also got rid of XP Pro, im now on Win ME, cos my slow pc runs better with it even if the internet speed suffer abit what brand is the network card? Check the manufactors homepage and see if they got Linux drivers. VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite.Pete Posted August 24, 2005 CID Share Posted August 24, 2005 that's odd, linux usually detects network better then windows, even though i dislike linux, i remember installing it and it detected and used all my hardware without the need for me installing any extra drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite.Pete Posted August 24, 2005 CID Share Posted August 24, 2005 does it just not let you on the internet? i remember when i was on if you use DSL they have a PPOE settings setup utility, you need to complete, but if you use LAN or cable it should be auto-matic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
