I have three machines conected to a hub on a PIII runing XP. The IP is giving everytime it restarts. I runned netconfig, but never I have been asked about what device I'm using. /etc/rc.d/rc.netdevice does not exists! so I don't know how to tell the cpu wich driver to use, neither to conect to the internet through the LAN. By the way, when I try to put a CD to play music, it does not mount it. Says "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom, or too many mounted file systems", but I mount the iso cd through wich I installed Slackware goes smooth. =BFis the the file system? if so, =BFwich one should i use? Thanks a lot for answering so soon on holydays. Merry Christmas! _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Informaci=F3n de Estados Unidos y Am=E9rica Latina, en Yahoo!
