Can't seem to connect to eth0 no matter what I do.
ifconfig -a detects the ethernet adapter but when I connect the cable nothing happens.

I am guesssing you double checked the ethernet card is working at all (eg with ubuntu) and the cable is good as well ? Sorry for the seemingly obvious,(it has hit me more often than not in the past)

@christophe
The cable is fine, I use it with other computers. The ethernet card worked the last time I used it (just a few months ago). I don't know how I would check to see if it is still working...

by booting an ubuntu flashdisk or cdrom ...

@christophe

@christophe
Maybe click on Slitaz Panel
tazpanel Network
You should have something like this
INTERFACE="eth0"
DHCP="yes"
STATIC="no"
IP="192.168.0.6"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
GATEWAY="192.168.0.1"
DNS_SERVER="192.168.0.1"
Have you tried to boot from a CD live Slitaz ?
Have a nice day.

Just a question : you didn't configure the wifi interface before ?

So it is not hw
Ceel is right, you can't have both wifi and ethernet simultaneously. It is one or the other. But you can switch when needed.
If this is not the issue, what is the output of [c]lspci[/c]and [c]ifconfig[/c]?
Tx

I did setup wifi it is operational. How would I be able to see if it is the issue? and how would I be able to fix that?
Offline
If you switch between ethernet and wifi
don't forget to set the right Interface (wlan0 <> eth0) in /etc/firewall.conf.
or is that not necessary ?
Offline
Still need help fixing this problem. Anyone out there with any suggestions?

How about giving some Information?
What Hw are you using? laptop with build-in wifi and ethernet, usb-wifi?..what?
Have you checked what yves04 suggested?
where is the output of lspci and ifconfig christophe wanted to see?
So this is another "shoot in the dark":If you have a Lap with build-in stuff,
switch off the wifi, connect your ethernet and boot with a Sz-live-CD.

if wifi is operational then this is normal ethernet is not; only either one is working at any given time.
If you want to activate it then go to tazpanel, network menu, there is an "activate" button that should swith ethernet on (and wifi off).
If you activate back the wifi then it will turn off ethernet.
Either way the command [c]ifconfig[/c] from a terminal will tell which is active and which is not. Please provide its output if further investigation is needed.

ifconfig outputs lo
ifconfig -a outputs dummy, eth0, lo
This is after I activated the ethernet.
