Will not configure NIC at all.
I have an HP here and the on board NIC was damaged by a power surge. I installed a card I had laying around (Kingston KNE100TX) and the network has been working fine since. When I boot from the CD, it will hang at the DCHP detect line and lock up. I can boot all the way to the desktop if I use the "nodhcp" option but if I try to configure it from there it will lock up too. It says it detects eth0 but I believe that may be the old bad card. It is disabled in the BIOS thought so it should not show up. Does anybody know a way to get it to run with network? I am baffled. I am a newbie at Linux but have been doing networking for years. Mostly in WiNdErZ.

Here is a thread where I helped a person first identify the NIC, then make sure the proper driver is loaded, then configure the NIC.

You will need to run each these commands into command line window:
Code:
dmesg | grep -i eth
This will tell you what was detected on bootup.
This will list all the PCI devices. Examine this list to see if there are 2 ethernet adapters listed.
this will list the drivers that are loaded. The kingston NIC will use a driver named 'tulip'. I do not know what driver the on board NIC will use, so any appropriate info from the 'lspci' step would be helpful.
This will list all network devices, both configured and unconfigured.
If possible please write down any output that might be appropriate. Or if possible please snap a digital photo of the output and upload it to http://imageshack.us/

Thanks
I will try this out and see what happens. Like I said, I am kind of new to Linux but do understand networking. That's why I want to run this thing as often as possible so I can start learning more about Linux.
Thanks again,
