During the boot up sequence, Linux will try to autodetect
the network adapter. If applicable, look for the I/O address
and IRQ the OS is detecting for reference.
Log in as root.
Start the X Server.
NOTE FVWM will be the windows manager for this install
procedure.
Kernel Daemon Configuration
- Go to [Control Panel]
- Click [Kernel Daemon Configuration]
- Click [Add]
- Module Types should default to eth, Click [OK]
- Click [Which Module?] (hold down the mouse button) and
select
- "ne" for KNE20xxLC, KNE20xx+, KNE20x, KNE30x
- "tulip" for KNE40x, KNE100TX, KNE110TX
- "rtl8139" for KNE120TX
- Fill out I/O address and IRQ boxes with the resources
that were set in Qstart
NOTE Example of an I/O address 0x300 – For PCI devices,
leave blank.
- Click [Done]
- Click [Restart Kerneld]
- Close window
Network Configuration
- Go to [Control Panel]
- Click [Network Configuration]
The Network Configuration is divided into four sections:
Names, Hosts, Interfaces, Routing
Names: Specify a host name (local computer name)
and a domain name
Hosts: List of systems that the host system can
access
Interfaces: Specify IP and Subnet addresses
v Routing: Specify the gateway IP address
(if applicable)
- When finished, click [Save]
- Click [Quit]
- Restart the system
If you are unable to browse the network, please check the
following:
Restart your computer in MS-DOS mode and run QStart to
make sure that your network card passes the Basic Adapter
Test.
Run QSTART’s "Transmit / Receive" test
to verify proper adapter / cable communication / connection
(NOTE: This test must be run on 2 separate workstations,
using Kingston cards, on the same network.)
Check for Link / LED lights on the card / hub (if applicable.)
If using coaxial media, make sure that each network card
has a T-connector, and that you have 50-Ohm terminators
on both ends of the network.
If you are connecting two machines together using RJ45
cabling only (no hub), make sure your crossover cable is
built correctly, crossing pins 1&3 and 2&6. Even
though pins 4,5,7, & 8 are not used, it is mandatory
that they be present in the cable. (NOTE: A crossover
cable is necessary for connecting PC to PC, or hub to hub,
unless your hub has a built-in crossover switch on one of
the rear-panel ports.)
There are a two of ways to determine the kernel version.
(1) It will be listed before the login. (2) It will be listed
on a restart/shutdown.
To shut down, type shutdown –h now
To restart, type shutdown –r now
Use ifconfig in terminal to verify IP settings
Make sure that you can ping your own IP address.
