I typed this and I think it found my network card. The results are as
follows:<br><br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier">etho Link ncap: Ethernet HWaddr

</font><blockquote type=cite class=cite cite> if it doesn't. You
need to find drivers for the card. They exist <br>
because I have the same card in one of my computers.<br><br>
Most likely case is that it exists but is not turned on:<br>

/sbin/service start network.</blockquote><br>
I typed this command but got the following response<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier">start: unrecognized service<br><br>
<br>
</font><blockquote type=cite class=cite cite> After that do
something like pinging another machine on your network.<br><br>
If your not on your network, you may need to turn on adsl support
(pppoe).<br>
Similarly as before<br><br>
service start adsl (it may be service start pppoe)<br><br>
For the video mode problem. My suggestion is to rerun the video
detection<br>
software. You most likely have picked a screen size/resolution that
your <br>
monitor can't handle. Unfortunately I don't remember the command
off hand.<br><br>
Good Luck.<br><br>
