    You will need to edit the file /etc/network/interfaces and set it to start DHCP on boot. example file below.

    Code:
    # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
    
    # The loopback interface
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    
    # The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation
    # (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp
    After editing the file you can /etc/init.d/networking restart from a root console window to re-start the network with the new settings. If this does not work could you post back as many details as possible about the network you are using.

    Are the nameservers correct in /etc/resolv.conf and by not working what do you mean? Is there an error message produced that you can post. Something else you can do is post the output of lsmod from the booted HD so I can see if the module for the card is loaded and in use. What does ifconfig -a tell you from the Booted HD you may want to post that as well. The more details the better.

    [edit]
    Can you ping the server or an outside address try ping 212.100.234.54 (The Register website in the UK).

    I have serious thoughts the driver does not work quite well.
    Doesn't work in debian 2.6.5, neither on morphix 0.4.1-d.

    Open a console and post back the result of ifconfig > ifconfig.txt, as well as iwconfig > iwconfig.txt (if you're using wireless). Assuming you were able to connect to the network before and then lost it on reboot, you may have to use the command
    Code:
    ifup eth0
    to bring it back up. Netcardconfig only sets the settings using ifconfig and iwconfig, respectively, and puts its results in /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf but that's not a guarantee that it will bring it up. If you didn't put in a gateway ip address, then that's probably why you can't pull an ip address, as you need to point the NT server as the gateway from which you'll be drawing an ip address from. The command to add that would be
    Code:
    route add gateway (NT server ip address)
    Replace (NT server ip address) with it's ip address which should be something like 192.168.0.1, you get the idea.

    HTH,

    I used the "Kurumin", a brazilian dist. Knoppix based, and I had the same problem after installing dhcp3-server. There is some kind of "bug" with pump (a dhcp client) when runs with debian server dhcp, but I solved it putting the string "pump" (whithout quotation marks) at final line of the /etc/init.d/bootmisc. Sorry for my bad english...

    Local Network problems

    I have some other problems - I've got an static IP, Gateway and nameserver, set up, but after restart, there's no network. Have to use the "netcardconfig" command. Do not have a DHCP server, so, what should I do now?
