Network Configuration Problem
I am trying to configure my network card for almost two weeks now, but I have not been able to get a satisfactory answer. I read the HOWTO documents but it did not help. COULD ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO LOAD 3c90x.o module so that when I reboot the machine the card gets detected. I am familliar with insmod. I am talking about during Load.

I'm note sure where you are stuck. You said that there is a module build for you card. What errors do you get when you run insmod? Does it ever load? Supply some detail as to how far you get.

Did you add a line to /etc/conf.modules of the form:
alias eth0 3c90x You may also have to add a options 3c90x 3c90x=xxxxxxxxxx line. But probably not. 2) insmod 3c9x0.o 3) cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts 4) create a new file: ifcfg-eth0 with: DEVICE="eth0" BOOTPROTO="dhcp" ONBOOT="yes" 5) ifup eth0 6) Verify that /etc/resolv.conf contains the proper nameserver line. It is a line of the form: nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx I kind-of remember that some older versions of redhat linux did not properly update this file when configuring the linux boxe's network with DHCP. You can also: netstat -i -n to look at the interface statistics ifconfig to see what settings were assigned by DHCP test communications by pinging your own IP. If you do it numericly, your DNS server does not have to be set up correctly. This is a good FIRST test. Second ping the telocity gateway: ping 10.5.1.2 Third, ping somthing on internet. Another GREAT thing about Linux is that since you arn't using Bill Gates' "Senior Class Project" operating system, you don't have to reboot all the time. You can "ifdown eth0", change the configuration and bring the network back up with "ifup eth0" -- all without rebooting. =========================================================== I am in the process of ordering telocity. According to their manual, you should use DHCP. Telocity must run a DHCP server. Either on the other side ot the gateway or the gateway itself acts as a DHCP server. I hope there is a way to disable this. I want to confirure things staticly, since I run my own DHCP server which services other computers on my network. I plan on setting it up without the "multiple computer" option. Then I am going to use linux's IP Maxqurading to get internet access across my entire home network. At present, I am using IP Masqurarding with a dialup line and it works great. I also use SQUID to cache web pages. I use ipchains redirect to transparently redirect http port 80 accesses to squid. Here is the script I plan to use with telocity. Note that since I don't have the service yet, I have not tested the script. My subnet is 192.168.2, and the telecity server appears to have an IP of 10.5.1.2 from the documentation. I did not want to renumber my subnet, so I plan to assign my static IP to virtual interface eth0:0. This will give my linux box 2 IP addresses.

[My linux box hosts my DHCP server, therefore my linux box itself is configured staticly]. My /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 IPADDR=192.168.1.254 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 ONBOOT=yes In addition, you must make a /etc/telocity.conf file which contains the static IP address assigned to you by telocity. Or, add your static ip to your hosts file as host "public". Here is a sample /etc/telocity.conf file: IFACE=eth0 VIFACE=eth0:0 PUBLIC=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx # your static ip ROUTER=10.5.1.2 My macine actualy has 2 NICS. eth0 is 10-BASE/T on subnet 192.168.1 and eth1 is 100-BASE/TX on subnet 192.168.2 The telocity gateway is 10MBPS 10-BASE/T so it will be connected to the 192.168.1 subnet. A routing entry is made to talk to the telocity gateway which responds to IP 10.5.1.2 on the 192.168.1.x subnet. My real prefrence is to change the gateway's ip from 10.5.1.2 to somthing like 192.168.1.253, and not add the special routing entry. I don't know if the telocity configuration lets you change the default 10.5.1.2 to somthing else yet. =========================================================== If someone would E-Mail me a copy of what the telocity gateway configuration web pages at http://10.5.1.2 look like so I can finish planning my install, it would be greatly appreciated. I will edit this post to remove this request after someone sends me the info. [Edited by Keith@in.net on 04-07-2001 at 01:08 AM] |
