Hi,
Still learning Linux, really like it.
But I am having a few problems.
I used the same Nic on a slackware version
of Linux and it autoprobed and had no errors.
I now am using Linux Mandrake 6.1 and am trying
to set up my NIC. 3COM 3C509B. Before this
I had an old NIC which was NE 2000 compatible.
And still had the same error.
Delaying eth0 initilization FAILED.
How do I go about and reinstall all Networking stuff.
How do I autoprobe for my NIC.
I try to ping LOCALHOST and it worked, until I went
through some documents and then started playing around
with some files. I think I might have deleted something that
I shouldn't have.
Does anybody have any simple ideas as my knowledge with
Linux is still in the beginning stages.
I need to get SAMBA, and APACHE working as now we
are in the experimental stages with Linux and would like to
make it our main server.
THanks in advance

what does ifconfig tell you?

is the kernel compiled to have your nic supported, and is tcpip ( and
networking tools, like nfs,smb, etc...) supported by your kernel?

When I installed Linux I had it install all the stuff I needed for
networking.
ifconfig
lo Link endcap:local loopback
inet addr 127.0.0.1 mask 255.0.0.0
and then goes on with the rest of the stuff for the loopback
for eth0 it can not find the device

Thanks again for trying to help. But I am going to do a fresh install.
and see what happens.
