problem with Ethernet card config.

[hisham]

I am a new Linux user, and I think I have problem with the Cnet Ethernet card configuration. I used /sbin/lsmod to verify if the module has been loaded and get:
Module: dmfe
Size: 10384
Used by: [autoclean] [unused]

I think it must get: Used by: 1
Only can ping the local host 127.0.0.1 etc..
Any help? Thanks in advance.

from the command prompt as root type in :
netconfig

this will allow you to set up your network name and ip/subnet/dns/gateway

from the command prompt type in:
ifconfig
this will return the status of
lo - your loopback device, normal IP is 127.0.0.1
eth0 - your main ethernet connection and the IP you input during netconfig.

once done you will need to restart the network:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart

hope this helps
