configuration:
bionic puppy x32 latest on a athlon amd
3com 3c905 tornado ethernet pci adapter
issue:
ran the 3 puppy internet wizard options, frisbee, etc
with dhcp, gets ip, does not configure
gateway nor dns servers, therefore no access
goes without saying, other pcs/os configure fine
what gives ?
Do you have another 32bit puppy installed and running.?
That is a really old network adapter (20 year old) . There may not be a driver for in BionicPup32. Fortunately you can load the WinXP drivers for it with the NDISWrapper in Dougals Network Wizard, if necessary.

Do this:
It is a lot of steps, but it gives good info on what is wrong when a step fails.
menu->Setup->Internet Connection Wizard->Wired or wireless LAN->Network Wizard
Tell use at what step it fails?
You do what?
You see what?

awesome, thx Jafa ...
pup identifies the 905 adapter from boot & loads it in the kernel ...
and ...
gets the dhcp ip ....
but not the ip's for dns & gateway servers ...
what gives ?
stay safe
Does it get a valid IP address for your LAN or a dummy address like 169.254.x.y?
