Network problem Installing Debian on Sony Vaio VGN.FE21M
I've been having several problems installing Debian on a Sony Vaio VGN-FE21M. The one problem I've not been able to solve after googling and checking several manuals is to make the network run.
After rebooting when I finish a network install the network stops working (apt-get update won't work). During the network install everything works OK, no problem downloading all packages from the web. when I try a ping it will keep sending packages and won't stop, kinda strange. and when running apt-get update it will stall. #ifconfig eth0 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:A9:09:DA:C4 inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::213:a9ff:fe09:dac4/64 Scope:Link UP BRROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:43 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:41 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:5832 (5.6 KiB) TX bytes:3919 (3.8 KiB) lo Link encap: Local Loopback inet addr:172.0.0.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:560 (560.0 b) TX bytes:560 (560.0 b) #route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default mygateway1.ar7 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 [Edit: #dmes|grep eth e100: eth0: e100_probe: addr 0xd2005000, irq 58, MAC addr 00:13:A9:09:DA:C4 eth1394: eth1: IEEE-1394 IPv4 over 1394 Ethernet (fw-host0) e100: eth0: e100_wathdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex eh0: no IPv6 routers present ] Am I missing something/any suggestions? |
unix ping is different, it wont stop until you hit hit ctrl-c or specify a count.
ping -c 3 192.168.1.1 anyhow, what error do you get while using apt-get? can you ping www.yahoo.com ? |
test. Otherwise it won't let me post a link to a website because of number of posts restriction.
Sorry |
another one, I need at least three to be able to post a link

Sorry for the previous crap posts. Had to...
webdevil, many thanks for your answer. ping outputs the following: #ping -c 3 www.yahoo.com PING www.yahoo-ht2.adadns.net (209.73.186.238) 56 (84) bytes of data 64 bytes from www.yahoo.com (209.73.186.238): icmp_dwq=1 ttl=55 time143 ms 64 bytes from www.yahoo.com (209.73.186.238): icmp_dwq=2 ttl=55 time143 ms 64 bytes from www.yahoo.com (209.73.186.238): icmp_dwq=3 ttl=55 time143 ms --- www.yahoo-ht2.akadns.net ping statistics --- 3 paquets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2000ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 143.361/143.479/143.568/0.321 ms this seems to be ok right? my /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://ftp.rediris.es/debian/ etch main now if I run apt-get #apt-get update 0% [Connecting to ftp.rediries.es (1.0.0.0)] and it stays like that for like 5 mins and then #apt-get update Errhttp://ftp.rediris.es etch Release.gpg Cound not connect to ftp.rediris.es:80 (1.0.0.0), connnection timed out Failed to fetch http://ftp.rediris.es/debian/dists/etch/Release.gpd Could not connect to ftp.rediris.es:80 (1.0.0.0), connection timed out Reading package lists... Done E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. This rediris is a server chosen randomly. I also tried Debian's US server (http://http.us.debian.org/debian) and a French (I think) one. do you think it might be the apt-get that doesn't work? It did work during installation. And apt-get, as I understand, is pretty straightforward to set-up, right? |
