tcl repo
« on: November 24, 2011, 04:50:26 PM »
Hello forum,

 my tcl 4.0.1 boot from CD won't connect to the app browser store...no network connection

the same machine works fine with other OS's and the same network internet connection?

any ideas?

Use the multicore iso as it has more network support for unusual and wifi adapters.

Look for clues using 'dmesg'
Do you have a dhcp server on your network?
If not use the 'network' button in the cpanel.

no tcl 4.0.1 does not work with this compaq machine....

it boots off CD...

but with a proper install from "multi-core CD"....... there isn't any network connection capability...

not sure why that is.

You mentioned drivers and things. Perhaps the machine over-rides tcl when tcl is installed
and somehow hogs the nic....drv

thx

Hi cast-fish
Since you are asking questions, but not providing any information, I feel this bears repeating;

Hello

Yes

yes, that stuff was tried...beforehand.

Is it possible that the nic drv is not resident?

the machine is very very old...2001

thx

V.

ps. i don't want to ask too much. It should just work out of the box.
