Hi

Can anybody could please help me to connect to the internet, I have no idea how to setup my network on slackware, for other distros I always used DCHP so I could automatically connect to the internet.

Thanks in advanced.

Try one of the following to configure your interface via DHCP:

Code:

dhclient eth0
dhcpcd eth0
pump eth0

One of these commands should be present on your system.

You need to run netconfig. Answer the questions(hostname, domaine and dhcp) and accept.
netconfig should have run during the post-install configuration. It is possible to by-pass it by mistake. Just boot, log in as root and run it again.

Ok,

First of all, thanks all you guys for helping meout , now I can bring up my network by usin {dhcpcd eth1} but is there a way for this to start Automatically when the computer starts, so I wont have be typing {dhcpcd eth1} every time I want to use the Internet.

Thank You.

Code:

dhcpcd -d eth1

that should give you a lease on eth1 from dhcp, the default is usually eth0 which is probally why you're having problems
