hi, i have adsl from verizon, im using a wired connection between my HP OMNIBOOK XE3 and my speedstream 5660, mepis recognizes my network card but uses the driver tulip (as says in kudzu), i use static ip configuration and have set it up like mepis 3.3.1 but when i reset the eth0 it says the ip like normally connected but i cant surf neither navigate in samba, other weird thing is that when i check the eth0 config in osconfig there is no gateway, after i put a gateway and apply it goes blank..... any help????

Bug with udev Tulip driver for NIC..??
Posts: 311
The latest udev may load drivers in a different order, and this is what
exposed the bug: probably the old one just loaded the working one first.
google "udev davicom"
1. "ifconfig" to see if ip assigned
2. "route" to see if gateway is acknowledged
3. "dig" to see if dns is working
On my system I have to recycle power on my linksys
wrt54g and then I only get connectivity for about
30 seconds...then lose it again....every single time.
I don't know what kind of network card you're using
but my davicom uses the tulip driver and if your
network card also uses the tulip driver...you may
be enjoying the same problem.
We are at the mercy of some tulip/driver knowledgeable
person to help us with a fix or we cannot move forward.
Is tulip the right module?

Is tulip the right module? Some versions of that laptop use an Intel chipset that needs the eepro100 module, or the e100. What is the ethernet part of the output of lspci?

...or still another one like de2104x....
On my previous system with VIA KT133A chipset (consisting of KT133A + VT82C686B) I had to replace the tulip driver with the de2104x driver.

well i installed linspire where my network works fine and the module it loads its also tulip but it clearly says that my netcard is AmdTek, i guess i'll try the manually add gateway
Tulip should be the right

Tulip should be the right driver for that Admtek chip. I wonder if Linspire is using the same tulip version.

Is /etc/resolv.conf being updated with the domain and dns IP numbers of your ISP?
Last weekend an install of MEPIS failed because I could not start an ETH0 card which was configured as DHCP. The "Start Eth0" button wouldn't work and pon-dslprovider wouldn't connect to the dsl modem. I had to install SUSE 10.0 to get a connection.

Hello
I have not used 3.4-3 yet. First thing that comes to mind is there is some kind of bug in graphical configuration program.
Have you run "route" command ? What is the output ?
You can try to add gateway manually, i have newer done that but i read
"man route" and seems that "route add default gw 192.168.1.1(or whatewer your gateway is)" will do the trick.
