I am running VectorLinux 6.0 Standard Edition.
The computer is connected to the router with a cable.
During the boot process I can see the [ OK ] that it establish the network connection.
After logging in I hold the mouse over the system tray icon and it says Connected -1%.
The icon is gray with a yellow color at the low level mark. I guess it should be green and indicate 100%.
The cable goes into a network connector on the mother-board.
I have tried to insert a PCI networks card instead but the result is the same.
Unplugging the cable and plugging it to another computer makes that other computer connects perfectly to the internet, so the router and the cable is working.
Any idea what's wrong ?
PS.
I have tried other distros on the same computer and they also have failed.
So maybe it is hard-ware related, but how ?
DS.

Did you try VASM to setup the NIC card ?

I have run NETCONF in the VASM.
It gives no error messages but it does not succeed setting up the connection either.

Are your router configure to use DHCP or static IP?

I'm new so I'm not sure this will help, but I would run: ifconfig eth0 up && dhcpcd eth0 or are wireless interfaces the only ones that have to be "up"ed? |

Googling around about Realtek RTL-8139 and Linux gives several results where it seames obvious that it is the Realtek RTL-8139 ChipSet that doesn't like to be in the Linux environment.
But the first distro I tested on this computer was Slackware 12.2 and it did connect perfectly to the internet.
Then I decided to use a distro that handled denpendencies, so among a handful of distros I decided give VectorLinux a try.
Also Kubuntu 9.04 failed to connect to the internet.
Since VectorLinux is based on Slackware I never expected this kind of problems, but I think that I have to go back and use Slackware 12.2 after all.
