re:
I, too, am having the same issue with Fedora 3.
With my machine, i have only 1 NIC--a realtek card. Under WinXP, Suse 9.1, and Ubuntu, it did not have a problem with my network at all. Once i installed FC3, i started having issues. I usually set up my boxes with static settings thru my Linksys router. With FC3, i could not do that initially, and i got it working with dhcp. a couple of reboots later, and i was offline again. this time, i set up up static (same config as before), and it worked. a couple of reboots later again, and i am now back @ dhcp. I have seen a couple of threads on FC3 and networking issues. Could this be because of IPv6 and v4? I am not @ home now, but if needed, i could get my eth0 info tonight. I really want to stick with FC3, but if this keeps giving me trouble i will find another distro. thanks. dan |
If u r going static then ur ifcfg -eth0 wants to look like this
DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=192.168.1.102 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 USERCTL=no PEERDNS=no GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 TYPE=Ethernet NETWORK=192.168.0.0 BROADCAST=192.168.0.255 Why not try running your network configuration tool and start it from scratch. Then the right set up should be auto added to your /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0 or similar file |
network? big problem here!
Hi everyone,
[edit 12/14/04 I deleted the contents of this post today, because I've made some serious mistakes when setting up my network config that provoked all these errors. Sometimes a little reading might help :) ] |
re:
Ok. after leaving my machine on for a few days, X locked up on me and i had to reboot. After rebooting, i was not able to get online with my previously-static IP, so i changed back to dhcp, and i am now online. here is my ifcong -a (i changed the MAC to xx's):
Code:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx Code:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface any help on this, please? thanks, dan |
I would turn off IPv6. I am trying FC3 right now and I turned it off, which makes it go smoother on the net. If so add that to your /etc/modprobe.conf
Code:
alias net-pf-10 off |
