couple of questions...

what stage did you start from?

did you compile the kernel by yourself or used the genkernel script?

make/model of your NIC?

type of internet service + your setup (one computer connected straight to the modem? more than one with a router? etc etc?

yes i used genkernel, but i figured it out... i got the model of it from the livecd then used make menuconfig and recomplied my kernel... thanks though.
