I'm using slackware 9.1
the LAN card is an old GENIUS LAN
ifconfig -a:

link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:164436 Metric:1
Rx packets:218 erros:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:218 erros:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:17370 (16.9Kb) TX bytes:17370 (16.9Kb)

uname -a:
Linux Cic3 2.4.22 #6 Tue Sp 2 17:43:01 PDT 2003 i686
unknown unknow GNU/Linux

And yes, the lan uses a dhcp server for configuration
(or so I understand). 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. ¿is the the file
system? if so, ¿wich one should i use?

Thanks a lot for answering so soon on holydays. Merry
Christmas!
