Hello........

I just installed Redhat Linux 9 on my system and I have WindowsXP too.
I am trying to correct internet connection problem from atleast one week.
But I am faild...

I have Realtek 8139 PCI Ethernet card. And this card is supporting well to my currently kernel 2.4.20-8. And I have these files(8139too.o & 8139cp.o) in directory /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/net.

I make a file named modprobe.conf in /etc and add this line in this file.
alias eth0 8139too
I added this line also in /etc/modules.conf

** I does these command as root
1) insmod 8139too
2) modprobe 8139too
Both of these commands replied " The module is already exist..."
And at booting process
Bringing netword enterface eth0 [Fail]

But I am still unable to setup internet... Actually I have ADSL connection and an externel modem with username and password. My external modem is connected with LanCard...pleaseeeeeeeee write me yours suggestions for configure all of this...........Thanks

Have you tried ifconfig to see what configurations exist? Does your ADSL use static or dynamic addressing (DHCP)?

Have you read the ADSL-Linux-HOWTO (http://www.rhapsodyk.net/adsl/HOWTO/)?

First, try removing those lines. Then, try an lsmod. See what modules that lists. If it lists those modules, then try a cat /etc/rc.d/rc.modules | grep "8139too" and see if anything shows up. Then check the configuration of the module.
PS: I am currently using a Realtek 8139 adapter without any problems on slackware linux. If you want, I'll post the exact command that loads the module.

Cheers,

In my Hardware Browser I have the following information in the Network Device.

Network Device: RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
Manufacturer: Realtek
Driver: 8139too
Device: /dev/eth

And I checked the following commands to check Internet Configurations.....

[root@localhost temp]# insmod 8139too

Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.o
insmod: a module named 8139too already exists
