RE: [Sheflug] SuSE 7.3 Network Problems

["Alistair Williamson" <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Craig,

The card in at the moment is a RTL 8039 (though I have a couple of NE2000
clones and a Netgear FA311 and I've tried them all :(

I ping 'localhost' but it does reply (127.0.0.1) - sorry, my knowledge
doesn't go that deep.

How do I access the syslog?

I'll buy you beer all night if you can help me solve this!

Cheers,

Alistair
