Hello, I am new to Linux. I have installed turbo linux 8.0. My net connections is coming throuth a router. How can i set it with linux.?? Also how to set the ip address dynamically and static in linux. Also how to check my network card is installed properly..I tried several ways..but nothing works. Any idea is greatly welcome that how can i set the internet in linux . Thanks in advance..

Your questions really are very broad and can't be covered in this forum with proper detail. My response would turn out to be a book, so I'll recommend a book. RedHat Linux Bible by Christopher Negus. It is written for Redhat, but Turbolinux uses the same tools and applications. I've used this book to configure Mandrake & Suse systems also. You'll really be doing yourself a favor by getting it or something similar. No doubt you'll have other questions about Linux after diving into this.

Thanks, i think i confused with lot of questions. My problem is just connectiong to internet. I am good in configuring and setting up anything in windows 2000. My internet is coming through a router. I wanted to just assing an ip address adn get the net connection in Linux. Could not find any good readings. If u could anything is greatly thankfull.

Do you have Linuxconf installed on your system? If you do, it'll make things a lot easier. You can just enable DHCP using it. If you want a static address, you can use the same tool. How about emailing me, and maybe I could send you screen shots showing how I did it.

Deputy DooDah I am running into a similar issue here and will be picking up that book. any other advice would be great.
