Just installed Linux Mandrake 8.1 on my downstairs computer.It has a 3Com Etherlink ISA Nic card.I have a cable modem and a Linksys 4 port router hooked up to my main puter- running Windows 98SE & Win2K Pro- Home Phoneline network with 3 puters > works fine in Windows. I installed the 3Com card in the downstairs computer because Linux doesn't support the D-Link Home Phoneline card that I use with Windows.The 3Com card is hooked up to a Farralon Home Pna to Ethernet bridge.
I know the info that I use in Windows to connect: Linksys Router IP addy:192.168.1.1,the addy's of my nic cards for each puter in Windows,and all the addresses for my cable company. I've set up Linux as I did in Windows : boot DHCP, gateway for each is the Router IP:192.168.1.1,subnet:255.255.255.0 and I provided the DNS address also. Mandrake shows the 3Com card is working properly but I can't connect to anything,tried pinging the router-no luck.What is the Linux equivalent of "winipcfg"? I just upgraded to the latest firmware for the Router also.What am I missing here? Thank's- Dave
