    Re: Help!!! with internet connection

    Really doubt that is the case. A motherboard won't be the problem with a connection to the Internet. What is your setup? What type of Internet connection are you using? Dial-up modem (what type - make/model), DSL modem, Cable modem, wireless connection, ...?

    Give us as much info about your setup as you can. That will be more helpful in trying to pinpoint your problem.

        No problem.

        Is the Cable modem connected to a router by chance, or directly to your ethernet port on the PC?

            Open a konsole and type the following:
            Code:
            lspci | grep Ethernet
            Paste the output for review.

              i haven't gotten a chance to do the
              Code:
              lspci | grep ethernet
              yet but if it helps this is what my motherboard website says
              1. Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.

                  Re: Help!!! with internet connection

                  I lost track of your post. I meant to post earlier.

                  paste the results of

                  ifconfig

                  in a terminal/console (kmenu -> system -> konsole) window

                  Also are you seeing any eth interfaces in kmenu -> system setting -> network settings?

                  Also are you running dual boot with windows XP or is this a linux only machine?

                      Can you give us the output of

                      ifconfig

                      from a terminal window?
