    help connecting to the internet

    I have redhat 7.0 on a ibm600e thinkpad and windows me on the a second thinkpad (same specs). I connect to the internet via comcast(previously att) on the windows me machine. I have a SB4220 surboard cable modem. I connected the win me laptop via the usb and i'm trying to connect the linux one via an thernet card. It's a realport xircom cardbus ethernet 10/100x + 56k modem (RBEM56G-100).

    I've checked around and i understand that i can connect the modem to 2 computers. On my linux box, i think that it has detected the ethernet card as the lights go on. Apart from that i'm stuck.

    I'll appreciate any help u can offer.
    Thanks

    Restart your CM, and your machine after plugging the card in, go to the command prompt, and type "ifconfig". Paste the results here.

    I have said the same thing in the thread you started here:

    hi all, /.sbin/ifconfig gives me the following output:

    lo Link encap:Local loopback
    inet addr:127.0.0.1 mask:255.0.0.0
    UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 metric:1
    RX packet:222 errors:0 dropped:0 overrruns:0 frame:0
    TX packets:222 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

    I think what jasonlambert meant was "ifconfig -a". Without the -a it will only list network interfaces that are up and running.

    the output for ifconfig -a is:

    eth 0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:A4:C5:09:C1

    RX packet:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overrruns:0 frame:0
