I am installing a Linux Mandrake 6.5 server and cannot get the machine to use the NIC card. I have tried an NE2000 compatiable and 3Com 509 and a Intel NetExpress 10/100 but once the system is up I can’t get out the NIC card. I even set it up as DHCP (which I have up and running on the network) but the Linux box fails to pull in a DHCP address off the network. I have tried differing PCI and ISA slot and various versions of these cards without luck. As a recent Linux convert (less than six months, although I still manage several NT networks–well this is frustrating.) Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks
David
