NVIDIA nForce network not obtaining IP..
I just installed Fedora Core 3; I have an ASUS A7N8X mobo; with a NVidia ethernet controller; the connection works fine in Windows XP. While booting into Fedora it fails on obtaining network config for eth0. I also have a gigabit ethernet controller but it's not used right now.
Fedora appears to see both controllers and the correct names are displayed. However are listed as inactive. When I check an ifconfig; the device is listed but there is no IP address listed. Any thoughts on how to activate my network connection with Fedora? Thanks. |
well some outputs maybe helpful here, like
`ifconfig eth0 ` `cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0` `lsmod` `route -n` `iptables -L` that will be a nice start |
My ethernet device is actually listed on eth1.. Here's the output of previous requested commands.. Thanks.

you can try clearing the iptables firewall
`iptables -F` and then try giving it an ip manually I am not sure what your net address is but here is an example `ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.15 255.255.255.0 up` add your gateway after that `route add default gw 192.168.1.1` and then try to ping a pingable address like yahoo (66.94.230.48) |
have you tried dhcp?
dhclient eth1 that will do it if not. |
