cant connect to the internet

hi, iam fairly new to linux and installed slackware 10.2 . after the installation i am not able to get on the internet , i ran "netconfig" and set it up dhcp and still doesnt work , i have dsl and a intel PRO/100+ server adapter nic. this is my computer at work, i also have slackware installed at home but after the installation i was able to get on the internet with no problem, the computer i have at work is nowhere near as powerfull as my home computer but i dont think that sould matter. can anybody helpme plz ...

What do you get if you run /sbin/ifconfig ?

shows me a bunch of colums with numbers , each colum has a number or letter at the top of it and one start with "offset"

Why don't you just paste the output here?

No info -> no answer -> no solution ;)

i cant get on the internet from that computer to paste it here, i guees i could copy the file to a floppy and use my windows machine to paste it but its alot of stuff in the file wouldnt that be too much to paste?

I don't see any way to help you if you don't provide any detailed information.

An alternative would be to (I've seen some people doing this) retype the information (with typos :cool: )). Another one would be to use an USB stick instead of a floppy (I don't have a floppy drive any more) .

It's up to you. But

well since i am new to linux i was a noob and was trying to open the ifconfig by typing in "vi ifconfig" lol so i was gettin a huge page of encryption...thats why i wasnt pasting it . but anyways i figured out my problem it was my network card , didnt have the drivers so i switched to the onboard port and configured it and internet is up now :) . thank you for trying to help though

Glad you got up and running. If you get stuck ever again and need to get details into a file to move them you can redirect output to a file

Code:

---

ifconfig > my_ifconfig_file.txt

---

The > pushes the details out into whatever file you name. ;)
