If you'd a Ethernet card:
1. After booting of Puppy you can test the ethernet interface was etablished or not?
If you get this (in console - rxvt)
3. That means your comp had etablished the interface eth0 to the netword
4. Now you can try with
May be this help you?

Connect it thru ethernet cable to the computer, then go to network wizzard, try connection and after that try the DHCP button. It must say sucessufully connection and you must have 2 flashing computers nest to clock (right side of tray).
If you have Puppy 2.17 try to download 2.17.1 or 2.16.
It seems to be a bug with network wizzard of Puppy 2.17.

Thanx T_Hobbit. This was also one of my problems (the main one)
I am connected from the router to the computer and after i load a module the DHCP button doesnt show up.
I have an idea but dont How to find out if my modem is Linux compatible. Lastly how do i find out What version i have?
If i have 2.17 should i down load puppy-2.17.1-nolzma-seamonkey-fulldrivers.iso
?
Thanx Jordon

Firstly there isnt a normal version of sea monkey 2..17.1 so is puppy-2.17.1-nolzma-seamonkey-fulldrivers.iso ok?
Secondly My phone line goes to a splitter one line goes to the phone another goes to the modem. From there, there is 4 ethernet ports or i can go wireless.
I dont Dual boot puppy im sorry i run puppy completely seperatly on a external hard drive and boot from the usb.

You give not much informations to understand your hardware.!
If you only see the "lo section" then your interface was't etablished.
Now you can try with these command (in order) (if you had only one Ethernet card. If you have two Ethernet card and the second is used to connect to Internet then you must change "eth0" to "eth1" ...
If there's no error. You try to surf a website.
Good luck!

route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo
route add -net 192.168.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
Good luck!
There is no evidence presented so far that your network card is being recognised.
Posting the output from running the following two commands in a console would be helpful
elspci -l (thats a lowercase L)
lsmod
(drag over the output in the console then click with the middle mouse button in seamonkey to paste)

Jordon7,
I have both eth0 and eth1. It took me some time to probe and test to determine which one was actually connected to a network. I have D-Link card connected to router provided by qwest as my eth1. That is my active network connection. If you use the network wizard and click on load drivers, you can cycle through the individual drivers and then test the connection until you find the one that works with your setup. I know that it can be a lot of work, but that is an option. Just my suggestion...

The only windows I have are those on my home.
