I'd like to install my Motherboard drivers on Linux, but as I'm new to the whole system I'm not quite sure how. I was looking through the NF4_Drivers file on the CD that came with my motherboard, I found a file that told me this:
My question is, how do I run the installer binary under a shell with root privileges?
I figured out how to get to the shell with root privileges, but I don't know how to run the installer binary.

Usually running "sh filename.ext" will do it for you. I suggest going and getting the latest drivers off the website though, that's usually better to do. Especially since Linux drivers usually aren't as refined as Windows drivers are. Some major updates happen often.

Ok, so you have an IP.. so DHCP is working. Your network connection should "just work" at this point... but that doesn't seem to be the case (obviously). Do you have any proxies or anything that you have to go to to connect to the Internet?
Also, back in windows, go to a command prompt and do an "ipconfig /all" and paste it in here. I wanna see some of the other details (gateway IP, mainly.. but the other stuff to.
