hey, i last wrote "trouble wiht lan setings in linux"

i keep getting network unreachable, when i try to ping 209.9.44.215 (which is mainsource at pull the plug) but when i ping 127.0.0.1 it gives me a reply.

i have to run netinit, as brutalware lacks,and tells me i have to setup my network manually, so i use a script called doma (which is supplied on the 3rd floppy) but it comes up wiht an error in eth0, iam using broadband wiht a cable modem, and i read somewhere, that i might have to use eth1 for that, no a clue im afraid.

i got the rtl8139.c driver but cant compile it, instmod tells me its not an object file, and i dunno where the hell GCC is.

any ideas?
damn it this distro is taunting me!
