Sparkler Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 help! i have tried to install 3 linux distro's on 3 different machines (u call em box's :D) and allways i hit a problem: normally i can set up networking fine the first time and it works for maybe 3 or 4 days. then after that it simply stops working. i havent got a clue why. oh and its a lan. i connect to a windowsxp server. i would use linux if the network would work. i hope i can fix it.

markwolfe Veteran Posted January 23, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 23, 2004 Ok, first things first: what distro are you running now? Do you have you Linux box set with a static IP or DCHP-served IP? If DCHP, who is serving it? A router? Another PC? Which OS on that PC? Do you have more than one PC on this home network? Do they each connect individually to the router? That's good for starters. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
