slackware 10.0 internet connection

I am having trouble connecting to the internet when I try connect this is not the exact error message. Could not find device /dev/eth0 s10csIfmtu. I would appreciate help with this problem.

First we need to make sure the driver for your NIC is loaded -- try this command:
ifconfig eth0 up

If that gives you an error, then the driver probably isn't loaded. If it's not, we need to figure out what driver you need for your card, so post up what its model is.

If the command goes ok, you should be able to run:
dhcpcd eth0
And have a network connection

if it communicate with PCI bus you could get infos with
/sbin/lspci

dmesg could be usefull too, also /var/log/syslog

It is an rtl8139 do you know if there drivers for it on the slackware installation disk?

Code:

modprobe 8139too
dhcpcd eth0
ping www.google.com
ctrl-c

I will try that command, but another problem that I noticed is that it seems to be trying to connect with my regular dialup modem because I get a message that it is now hanging up, how can I disable pppoe?
