I suspect the NIC drivers are not in the bios, and they don't appear to be loaded from the ACID CD. In this situation, I've loaded CentOS 5.10, which has the drivers, then loaded the remaking ACID build on top of that. Ic and the how to instructions if you'd like. On the other hand, Have you tried the ACID replacement, DIAL? I don't know if the CD image has NIC drivers. Here is the announcement made a few days ago. ********* A new official Allstar Link Distribution is now available. It is called "DIAL" (Debian Install (for) Allstar Link). It is based on 'Debian Jessie', and supports a number of modern motherboards and other hardware configurations, of which the "Old Standard" (ACID) distro sadly fell short. It runs a VERY modern 3.X Linux kernel and DAHDI (as opposed to Zaptel, as was in the ACID distro). The ISO (installation) image may be downloaded at: http://dl.allstarlink.org/dial/dial-allstar-netinstall.iso Download the image, "burn" it to a CD or USB stick, install it, let it do its "installation stuff" (it reboots once or twice), and then, finally log in as 'root' with the password 'debian'. You will be taken through a script with a few questions, and then it will be ready to use. This is a result of a great deal of diligent work by Steve Zingman, N4IRS and Mike Zingman, N4IRR, without whom this would have not been possible. Please express your gratitude to them for making this possible. Jim, WB6NIL ******* Thanks, Bob kk6ecm Sent from iPad

Hello I an trying to build an Allstar Link Node I went to the allstar page , downloaded the Centos software, burnt it to a disk, and uploaded it to my Toshiba Laptop . Now when the program runs I get an error at the end that says the computer could not detect an internet connection, and wont let me proceed with the install. I have my computer hard-wired to the internet box , but the light on the box does not come-on and flash, and the cable company said they can't detect anything being hooked to my box on the system. I need to know how to get my now Lenox computer to detect the ether-net port or something ?
