Assunto: Re: [dyne:bolic] DNS problem?
ok, now we're getting somewhere.

dyne:bolic loads the tulip driver for a Davicom NIC.
I've found that the tulip driver does not work well at all.

you should try loading the dmfe driver instead.

do the following

ifconfig eth0 down

rmmod tulip

modprobe dmfe

wait a few minutes (cargo cult, I know, but trust me)

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

trying pinging

if it doesn't work, do

ifconfig eth0 down

rmmod dmfe

modprobe dmfe

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

trying pinging again

the second time the dmfe driver loads, it generally works. I don't
know why it needs to be done twice, but try it anyhow.

I have had problems with the tulip driver under different distros.

Let me know how it goes.
