I have tried DSL 4 and 4.2 both connect briefly to the internet then the connection is lost, both report in Dmesg that eth1 or eth0  
no receive buffer allocated.
I have checked the md5sum both of download and burnt media md5sum is  ok.
During bootup modprobe cannot locate block major 2 is a bootup error.
I have tried both CD's in ram on both computers same results.
my network card is RTL-8169 gigabyte Ethernet (rev 10) and
DSL 4.2 is 2.4.34.1 #2
The DSL 4.0 CD was tested and installed on a neighbors pc and it connects to the internet fine however they have a different NIC
card.
I am wondering if this might be a router/firewall conflict, I am using IPcop on a seperate linux box but it has never presented
any problems with any of my other distros unless their is a firewall on DSL that is blocking things.

I am not able to paste a lspci  however it reports the card as a  unknown device. :(

I found a Ethernet controller from 3com 3c905 and installed it and now I have internet access.
Apparently the RTL-8169 with the error of Unknown device 311a will not work unless someone here knows of a way to make it play. but for connecting I am good with this other Nic card now.

DSL 4.0 is NOT an official release yet. DSL is still officially at 3.4 and there is no 4.2. You're using alpha 2, not 4.2. Please post issues related to 4.0 in the existing release candidate threads per specific release candidate.

Edit: I'll address your issue when you post it here:

I am unable to post to the location you requested. I get a warning that I am not authorized to post there. now, what ? I have resolved the issue myself
however other users with that particular Network card will face the same thing.
Replacement of the network card was the work around.
I am still testing both the advertised 4.0 and 4.0 rc2, I can see by the kernel they are actually something else and will address any further bugs with that it might, sorry but I tried to repost it.
