Exclamation Help me with Ethernet connection
Friends,

I am new at world of Linux. Downloaded Mandriva. Now I am finding difficulty with entheret connection. I am not getting internet connection. Can you guide me how to change the settings. I am sure it must be something with ethernet settings.

We might need some more details about your setup first, but if you want to try becoming root:

su
password

Then try: ifconfig eth0 up

That's a start.

Yes, I've seen that happen before. My guess is you are using Firefox at the moment? Try using Konqueror to access sites for a while. There are some default settings in Firefox that can prevent access.

I am in guest a/c so if config doesn't work. I do not get anything after writing if config to command prompt.

Would you please give us some more details about how you fixed this? I'm curious, because you said you don't have admin. access.

I agree with fingal. How did you manage that type of adjustment with only a guest account?
