Network card problems

[Alex Snow]

It's the dhcp server in my router, which to the best of my knoledge is
standard dhcp.  My cable company also uses standard dhcp.
Explorer has caused a general protection fault in module kernel32.dll. I'm
sick of Winblows!

the dhcp server is pppoe, or pppoa? Slackware's netconfig script will not
set those up for you as far as I know, it will only setup the regular dhcp
and isc dhcp client.
