lspci:  command not found
cardctl: command not found

As I said in my previous post you have to run those commands as "root" in a terminal. lspci and cardctl can only be run by root. That is why you get the command not found error message. Please rerun them as root.

lsmod shows that you do have a module loaded for the NIC card (3c574_cs) so that probably means the card is working and detected by the kernel, so at least we know that much. Please show us the output to the other two commands.

[Tracer Tong]

When I run cardctl it lectures me about the usage of the command.  I used "cardctl status", to which I got the output "no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices

lspci:

[lagagnon]

Well lsmod shows you have both the pcmcia driver loaded and the 3C NIC driver, so things "should be" OK. Now run the following commands and post the output here:

ifconfig
route -n

[Tracer Tong]

route -n

Code:

ifconfig

Code:

As root try dhcpcd eth0
then ifconfig you are looking for an inet addr.

[Tracer Tong]

I ran both of those commands and nothing different happens.  When i run dhcpcd eth0 in terminal as root, it will sit there for a few seconds, then display the prompt again, but nothing seems to happen, the output of ifconfig looks about the same as well, TX packets is at 14, carrier is at 12, and TX bytes is 324 but other than that it's the same.

When I try to access a website using dillo I get the error message Dns can't solve *url I'm trying to go to*

[lagagnon]

Try "cat /etc/resolv.conf" and tell us what it says, and also tell us the name of your ISP.

[Tracer Tong]

I don't think my ISP should be an issue, I can connect fine using the Ubuntu machine I'm writing this post on.

cat /etc/resolv.conf

Code:

# Generated by dhcpcd for interface eth1
nameserver 205.171.3.65

Okay, I'll try running "dhcpcd eth1" now.

[Tracer Tong]

Running dhcpcd eth1 doesn't make any difference, and why would it, when I run ifconfig eth0 and io show up.  So why does that other command output something about eth1?

[bigpaws]

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:04:B3:60:EE 
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:156 (156.0 b)
          Interrupt:3 Base address:0x300

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback 
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

The problem is no inet addr in eth0. Without an ip address, the ethernet card
being eth0 can not communicate to anything else.

FYI lo is a loopback device for internal connections.

You will not get anything to return from running dhcpcd because it is
calling the network for an ip address for eth0. The change will be noted by seeing an
inet addr after eth0.
