Hey all

Am new to networking. When i used to network a machine using mandrake linux 8.2, with a NIC from realtek using a switch, and when i run the configuration tool, i got an error like

modprobe: can't locate eth0

The OS finds my card and installs appropriate driver without problems, but in control center , it is not connecting to the domai.

When i used the same machine using win98, it can't connect to the domain controller, but the switch shows activity.

may be i don't know am specifying some incorrect data, but as i already said, am new to networking.

I read some of the tutorials on AO last week on networking, but what i am looking for is a step by step tut on how to configure a network (may be win 98 machines connected to a win 2000 advanced server or NT 4.0) . or anybody can point to some links (I think there will be some in AO itself, but i can't find one).

Thanks
