all i said was i understand how to set it up, but i do not have a domain address as it ask's. I never said i knew the entire anwser. I cant say im much of a troll,. but hey thats cool. I dont know my NIC it came with the computer. I did not build it. Its a regular like every one else's it seems, it works perffect with most distro's so its not somethingnew. Sorry...
may i ask about this part though?
"This isn't IRC so forget the l33t h4x0r stuff. Contrary to popular belief, it makes you look like an uneducated moron."

were in the entire F***** post did i speak one word of that ignorance. Maybe im no LINUX master liek your self, technology is a new love of mine, so i learn as i do, Im a very busy person and i try to contribute as much time possible to this board by helping out etc. One simple question gets me put down like this.. how pathetic. Can any one give me a hand with my issue, ive read the slack ware guide, see my ehternet connection is on a DHCP it was ment to auto configure, but for som,e reason it wont pick up. Maybe ill just stick with debian, sorry. Thank you again, sphyenx.
