diptenkrom Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 i have tried like 3 builds of leo4all, and 1 iAtkos, and finally tried kalyway 10.5.2, and it actually installed and booted, and did not hang up anywhere... i have 2 probs i think, but the pressing one is that the internet will not work. teh network adapter is recognized, and reports the cable being plugged/unplugged properly. it will send pings, but reports 100% packet loss. nothing is reported as coming back in. it will not see the other (windows) computers on my network, and i don't know where to start. everything is setup DHCP and i also tried assigning address. set workgroup name up. i am running a compaq presario sr1910nx desktop, with 1 gb of ram, 120gb sata, nvidia onboard graphics, nforce4 chipset. the network adapter is "integrated 10/100 lan" this is the only info i can find online. i am guesssing that it is an nvidia chipset as well, but not sure. the mobo is made by asus.

Hello, I am having the same problem, I was told to go to the RealTek site and download two drivers, 1309 and 1117. After I installed them onto the mac part, I got further into the networking but all of the selections seem hidden, you can't click on them. But it seems I've got a tad bit closer, on the side, its blank for networking. I even tried hooking up the laptop directly to my modem. Still nothing. I was also reading that might need a part from 10.5.1, I just directly did 10.5.2. so not sure if that's the reason the interent is not working. I am still searching for the answer.

Khan_Man Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Until U know what network card U are dealing with U haven't a hope. Do U have windows installed. If yes, get Windows to tell U what network card(s) U have. There is an Forcedeth driver around. Khan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khan I have two Network Adapters, Marvell Yukon 88E8039 PCI-E Ethernet Controller (plug in) Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802.11b/g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter (wireless) I remember there being a Foredeth Driver, but I didn't click on it when I installed, I am going to reinstall this time selecting that one as well. Hope it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
