It probably depends on what your using

Are you using ethernet card or a modem or what?

[forceflow501]

ethernet card, on a lan. dhcp

[genesus]

have you tried netconfig?

[forceflow501]

yep. static and dhcp.

[zerone_null]

if you've already got your ethernet configured (netconfig) then it should already have all you need. That is if you're connecting thru a gateway hardware (another PC, a router whatever).

or are you do you want to do PPPoE for your aDSL?
if so try.. adsl-setup
then adsl-start

[forceflow501]

its cable. via router and hub. i'm gonna try configuring the drivers manually when i get home. culd part of the problem be that i have two ethernet cards in the machine?

Have you tried both cards? Make sure that the eth that is up is the one that you are connected through
