what ISO are you using ?
most of the time it doesnt matter if you're using a 32bit or 64bit kernel
did you load the driver for your network card ? what error are you getting
such that you think you 'cannot configure networking' ?

Did you `modprobe tulip` to load the driver of the nic ?

Hello
I have spoken with my supplier, he doesn't know which nic is in but it
is the one supplied with a c3600. No I haven't manually installed a
module yet since I don't know which one.
Trying tulip.
Thanks

Now you should have eth0 when you `ifconfig -a` and `dhcpcd eth0` should
work if you have a running dhcp server in your network.

Success

I forgot the -a with ifconfig. I can now ping 'external' machines.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have just created a user and I noticed it is a live cd 32. Is there a
64, or does is 64 bit kernel generated later?

Thanks

If you want a 64bit kernel (which is not recommanded), you'll have to
emerge gcc-hppa64 and select 64bit kernel in the kernel config.

Also, I don't recommand using genkernel.

For more info, follow the handbook :)

Just so you know...
http://www.openpa.net/systems/allegro.html
gives you specs on your machine.
You probably have a DEC 21142/43 Fast Ethernet controller (Tulip).
Hope that helps you.
Also don't forget to read the Gentoo installation guide - it is very
helpful! The guys put a lot of effort into it and it shows.

From this (http://www.openpa.net/systems/index.html) site you can find a lot of
info about a lot of HP hardware.
