When you go to the bemenu and choose preferences and then choose network, do you see any cards listed.
Go to the preferences and devices and do you see listed a ethernet device or ISA devices and can you find your card? It may actually say something different though.

It finds my card but it don't want to connect to the server. I tryed useing the etherlink driver and the NC2000 Compatable
Card and it still won't work.

Things you can try is to ping another computer.
You can put a static IP in your Beos machine.
Mainly we need to know much more about your server.
Did you go to preferences, network and able to tell us
what you see?

OK i got wingate installed on the server and all i have to do is to plug in a cable to the client and give the client a name and give it the domain and the server does the rest. thats what i do with all of my win box clients. But on the be box the light on the isn't on. Can a gigafast ez500-s work with beos???

gigafast ez500-s is a fancy piece of wire. All it does is connect lan cables together. It works on a mac layer and doesn't care about OS's.
Wingate is a proxy server that allows other computers to share one connection. NOW we are getting somewhere! There are a few ways to proceed.
I suggest that you put a static IP in your beos machine. Open netpositive and open pref's from the pull down menu. Look at connections and put the proxy IP address for your wingate and port # for http and ftp (only if you want to use ftp). Boing! It ought to work. If it don't then we need to start at basics again.

Opps! I just read the setup instructions at wingate site.
I suggest that you delete wingate. What a dopey program. Go to Cnet.com and get analogx's proxy. Run that on you windows machine that you have access to the internet with. It is free and I know it works and doesn't need to have NAT or a wingate client running. Sheeze, do people pay for that junk?

Then do what I said in the netpositive.
The instructions for wingate say to have a private lan and establish a local IP for each machine on that lan. That means you would need a lan card in your server just for your local lan. Set an ip like 192.168.x.x for each machine. Say on wingate server use .0.1 and the beos machine use .0.2. On netpositive config it for a proxy.
From wingate webpage.
Proxy Settings (Standard and Pro)
Proxy settings for WinGate require that each application be configured manually. Instructions for configuring many popular applications may be found at: http://kb.deerfield.com
I could find out more but the site is way too slow for me to wait.

Openbeos is a copy of what Palm doesn't care to sell. hahaha
Palm doesn't want to or can't for afford to sell BeOS.
People are making a different system similar to but hopefully not legally equal to BeOS and that will be some form of open sourced OS.
