Once you've run ifconfig eth0 xx.xx.xx.xx or dhcpcd, your eth0 should be
configured. Show us that configuration by posting the results of
'/sbin/ifconfig eth0'. That will give us an example of a working config to
go on.

Same deal. Show us the route that IP traffic takes to get to your MSWindows
box through running the 'route' command. I've helped fix broken networks
where the route from device B to device A was broken, but the route fron
device A to device B was not.

"Normal results" meaning what, exactly.
In order to find out what's broken, we need to know what works. You haven't
given us the details yet, so we can't diagnose anything for you.

We don't either, mostly because we can't see /anything/.

From your description, you aren't entering the correct password for the
user you are trying to log in as.
If we had more details we might be able to give you a better answer. (Gee,
I'm repeating myself here.)

Look, do you want help, or do you just want to complain?
If you want to complain, tell us (me), and we (I) will just ignore your posts.
However, if you want help, you're going to have to answer some questions.
Think of it this way: Your daughter is sick; she has a nasty cough, a fever
of 103 degrees F, and diarrhea. She can't keep food down, and is taking only
a little liquids. She's one sick girl, and you call the doctor.
You: "Doctor, my little girl doesn't feel well. What's wrong with her and
what can we do to make her better?"
Dr.: "Sorry, but from what little information you've given me, I can't tell
what's wrong or what to do with her. Bring her into my office and I'll
examine her."
You: "Doctor, I've examined her, and I tell you that she's /sick/. What's
/wrong/ with her, and how do we cure it??"
Dr.: "Sorry, but I still can't make a diagnosis or recommend treatment with
the inadequate information I have. Please get your daughter to my office,
and we'll see what's wrong."
Get the point?
