help help help with linux networking - pleeeaaasse


Recommended Posts

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.

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. :)
