I'm running 2.14 on an old Vectra 350MHz PII. It actually runs well enough to be usable, but I have to re-initialize the ethernet port each time I boot. I did save the initial configuration. Is there something else I can check?

Thanks in advance.

tempestuous: thanks for your quick response! I did download and install the dhcpcd-5.2.9-Puppy5.pet update, reboot and try again, but to no avail. Perhaps this is because this update is for 5.2 and I'm running the 2.14 version. This may well be a problem that I'll just have to live with, or else install the newer 5.25 version of Puppy and try that.

Thanks again for your attention.

I ran puppy 4.12 on my old HP 400mhz, 256mb ram.
Worked nicely.

Would probably run Wary on it if it were still alive.

Does 2.14 have also 2 network setup possibilities?
Simple Network Setup and Network wizard?
If you used one try the other then.

How is 2.14 installed?

Err...it's a full install, if that's what you mean. ???

Try posting your problem in the 2.14x topic.
The people there know the most about that version of Puppy.

you could try making a script.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
sleep 2
dhcpcd eth0

Then set the permission to executable.

Then put it in /root/Startup
