I finally succeeded installing VL Light 6.0....YES!
The first session (IceWM) everything was OK.
The second time, I wanted to try out JMW, but there was no internet.
When I restarted, in IceWM, internet was gone again, and the small blue window in the right lower corner, that indicated the connection, was gone also.
I don't know how to get it back.

Hi Bruno, as you connected once, we will assume that your card has a working module (driver) loaded already. Please post the output of the following commands: /sbin/ifconfig
/sbin/ifconfig -a
ping 74.125.67.100 Cheers! |

I dunno about wicd, long time I dont use it... but your NIC has no ip assigned. Try as root from a terminal: dhcpcd eth0 Post the error message if any. |

What is yor network setup, do you connect through a modem or router? If it is a router, can you ping the router ip?
Did ifconfig show an ip assigned to eth0 after the dhcpcd command?

Wow, this is getting complicated..
I am connected with a router (dsl).
How do I ping my router?
The result of /sbin/ifconfig was posted above.

Looks like there is no IP address, so pinging won't do much good. I'm not sure your NIC is up. Try: ifconfig eth0 up
dhcpcd eth0 |

Not necessarily. Mine is 192.168.2.1 and some are 192.168.1.1. The router's documentation should give the default IP address. bruno, how to you get into your router to do things like set passwords? --GrannyGeek |

If you did the command as su or sudo Code: /sbin/dhcpcd eth0 should give an output. |

Yes!!!
Now connection is back, after sudo /sbin/dhcpcd eth0
There's no output, but connection is suddenly back!?!
Thanks guys!
I have had a few problems with VL, but the forum always has pulled me through.
