Hey everyone, I'm still hitting the wall getting Debian installed on my new system. I'm trying to do a network install, but I keep running into trouble configuring the network. Here's a recap of what I've tried: * I've tried using DHCP on three different networks: a cable modem, and two different subnets at school. * I've tried three different NICs: a TrendNet card using the tulip chipset, a TrendNet card using the RealTek driver, and an EtherExpressPro/100 card. All have exactly the same problem. * I downloaded a network boot disk for Mandrake 7.1 to see if it was a Debian problem. I selected DHCP for configuring the network and got: "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable" * I've tried the most recent Debian boot floppies and also a handy CD-ROM that I got from that meathead Ben. :-) * Everything works fine in Win98. * I downloaded and installed Storm Linux 2000 from an iso without a hitch. I'd didn't get around to configuring the network though. I'd try my bootable business card, but I've got a 48x CD-ROM drive and I don't want to send the CD spinning out of control. System details: * Asus A7V m/b with 800 MHz Athlon * 30 GB IBM ATA-100 disk (plugged into slower IDE port until I get the ATA-100 kernel patch installed) * TrendNet NIC (DEC 21140 chipset) * Matrox G400 video * USR PCI modem (hardware, not winmodem) * Creative Live! soundcard I'd appreciate any advice on this. I'm not sure what to try next. -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.k12.mn.us/ | http://www.zope.org/ W.
