Hi, I have a PCChips P3 motherboard with 1.4 ghz tualatin that I would like to install debian on. I just tried on my other P3 Compaq board and it dhcp auto configuration works fine during the setup process.

I am trying to do net install, so I need to get my ethernet adapter working so I can download the http files.

I have another post on this forum here where im asking for help on how to install the lan adapter.

The autoconfiguration fails everytime, and it says my dhcp server (router) is too slow or hardware not working, but I know the auto dhcp configuration works on my other p3 motherboard also with a 1.4ghz chip. I have tried numerous addin pci lan adapters and it still does not work.

does anyone have an idea whats wrong, or know something that can help me out?

thanks,
Zack
