I have assembled a P4 631+ (Cedar Mill) 3 Ghz, ASUS P5G41T-M LX3 motherboard with KVR1333D3S8N9/2G RAM, and a Samsung DVD /reader with Lupu 511 in it. I connected this system's LAN (RJ 45) port to one of the LAN ports of a TP-Link 150 Mbps Wireless Router.
As you can see I'm only using primary storage devices.
After booting into Puppy I clicked on the connect icon on the desktop and the Internet Connection Wizard informed:
No dial up modem detected
No network interfaces detected
The detailed network interface information was the following:

I haven't tried with all the modules
I have tried to execute the contents of the resource CD that is packed with the router but that didn't solve the problem.
The router seems to be working well because a temporary visitor is using his laptop with it and has no problems.
Should I run the "Support DVD" that comes with my motherboard to see if I can avail the LAN (RJ 45) port ?
Do you have any questions or suggestions?
