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.

hello
it is using the "multicore iso" cd......so
It is a regular CD boot....to the desktop.
what could be the problem?

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

strange
it is working now....wihin 5 mins proper internet connection....so no chron jobs or any network gremlins need be considered...
same boot...same cd disc...same machine ...same network at my end...
hmm

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

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.

You still have not provided one bit of useful information.

over the settings.
