Can you guys please tell me how to setup my ethernet card? I have my PPP stuff setup, but now I want to use my ethernet card on my local LAN. I want my other computers to be able to telnet, ftp, etc. into this computer. I went to /stand/sysinstall to configure the 3COM ethernet card I have, and although it did something, when I tried to ping myself using the mock IP address I made for this computer, it says "no route to host". Is there something else I have to do. Please tell me step by step and in detail. Also, instead of the usual '%' I get for the prompt, is it possible to replace the '%' with the current directory I am in (like DOS)? Also, how do I subscribe to this mailing list? About how many people actually write everyday? Thanks once again! I hope I didn't bother you guys too much with my constant barrage of letters.
