<DIV>Hello all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you very much to you all for your quick responses. I still have problems with the Internet connection. I updated the linux version to Mandrake 10.1 today, problem still exists. Below are the status after I manualy assign eth0 with 192.168.1.100. During startup, i selected dhcp and eth0 can not be brought up. The NIC card is a an old 3Com 509B ISAPNP card. would this be the cause of the problem? I did a few google search and it reports the card is supported. I am a little confused.</DIV>

<DIV>I appreciate all your kind help, should i read something more in-depth. XP connected to the router in no effort, i was expecting similar exprience with Linux. Maybe the way they deal wiht the connections are different. Any recommended reading?</DIV>

<DIV>All the best,</DIV>
