I suppose you compiled a new kernel, set CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y CONFIG_NET_PCI=y CONFIG_8139TOO=m #<--- that's the module you need. Don't forget "update-modules" and "depmod -va" after making the modules. And modify your /etc/modutils/aliases file: alias eth0 8139too ^^^^ that's your interface name, should be eth0 for your first NIC. Then load the module using "modprobe 8139too". Check the loaded modules using "lsmod": [...] 8139too 11936 1 And continue configuring your network. Hint: man ifconfig man route > Can any one help me in solving out this problem ? I hope I could. Try to join an english-speaking mailing list if you don't speak german, look for it at www.debian.org. Regards Uli -- 'The box said, 'Requires Windows 95 or better', so i installed Linux - TKK 5
