Hey, yeah, this is about mepis, not Ubuntu, therefore I put it in here, instead of say, witheverthinng else Ubuntu,but anyway. I just installed Mepis, just to experiment, on a vacant partition on my harddrive (now im running WinXPPro, Ubuntu 5.04 and Mepis 3.3.1) It seems to be very nice, but I cannot get my eth0 up using DHCP in the Mepis OS Center. So I cannot get online that way, It makes me sad :/ Anyone have similar troubles or know what to do about it?

Thanks.

This is probably best placed on the Mepis forum..

That said, you need to activate the connection. I had the same trouble. Go into the Mepis Control Center, enter your details and you must activate. (It's "off" by default.)
