The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Debian Linux eth0 configuration

Asked by mcmurrick in Linux Networking

Tags: debian, eth0, linux

I recently installed Debian Linux after enjoying a copy of Knoppix and it's unprecedented ability to detect and configure hardware on boot. I figured hey the Linux community has gone a long way. After placing a copy of the Distro on my drive by running the knx-hdinstall command with root privliges I found that the hardware configuration did not quite follow the HD installation.

I am sure it is not a mystery on how to set up your ethernet however I have not been able to find friendly documentation for a linux newbie or an intuitive GUI-Enabled network configuration tool.

My network is DHCP/NAT Enabled in a 10/100Mbps switched environment. My network card and DHCP functioned properly under knoppix so I beleive the kernel has support for my hardware it is just being able to find the right configuration files to modify and knowing what tidbits of information to add, or finding an X-Windows configuration tool.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

*** In the first comment I thought I had solved the problem with netcardconfig however that appears to be a bandaid rather than a permenent fix... I still need to be able to have the card permenently configured so it is grabs the DHCP info at boot. So for a temp fix the first comment works but for a more permenent fix I still need help ***
