[Staffslug] A puzzler for you all :-)

I seem to have found some very strange behaviour involving Live CD/DVDs on one particular PC of mine. I can start a live CD but cannot get any internet at all. Yet, eth0 (there is only one network card and it's built in) is supposedly up and running with a carrier found. This has happened with both Sabayon and Ubuntu 7.04 so far. It appears that the only anomaly I can actually find that might be the reason is that the subnet mask is wrong. It should be 255.255.255.0 with both of these live cd's it is being set up as 255.255.0.0 I have yet to try my Kubuntu live CD but I'm actually hopeful that this will work correctly. The reason I say that is that both of the other CDs are actually cover disks from Linux Magazine. If the Kubuntu one does work (it's an official one from Canonical) then something very odd is going on... -- ============================================== Kevan Farmer Linux user #373362 Staffordshire
