Get 2nd Ethernet working.
SlackWare 9.
1º NIC -> Raltek 8029 2º NIC -> SiS 900 (onboard). Well, I get configured the first NIC using netconfig so i have internet access throught it (fixed IP), no big deal. But i can't / don't known how get working the SiS 900. I want to stablish a LAN with a 2nd computer using Win98. I need at least where can i put the parameters (ip, submask net). I tried using ifconfig but they do not recognise the changes until i reboot and after reboot the parameters get lost so i keep chasing my shadow (i can say this coz if i do a ifconfig down then ifconfig up for Realtek, stop working until reboot). I hope you can understand my problem. Thanks in advance. |
You should look into /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 script. Near the beginning of it you have
Code:
# Edit these values to set up your second Ethernet card (eth1), |
Thank you mara, i have done that but it dosn't work, a cant ping the other computer and on reboot that parameters get lost, only eth0 works and eth1 is down...
If a run manually sh rc.inet1 on every boot it get configured but it doesn't seem to work. |
try
ifconfig eth1 up then if your doing a direct connect you'll need a crossover instead of a network cable. good luck |
I do exactly that but it doesn't work, cable is fine, it works fine under win2k.
|
What's wrong when you run the script? Do you get any error messages?
|
I'm under X-Server
Open Konsole, the (cpy paste) root@x:/etc/rc.d# sh rc.inet1 SIOCADDRT: File exists Configuring eth0: ifconfig eth0 200.81.19.213 broadcast 200.81.19.xxx netmask 255.255.255.xxx Configuring eth1: ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 SIOCADDRT: File exists root@x:/etc/rc.d# On win98 PC (conected via eth1) IP 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 Cheers. |
More info, seams to be an IRQ problem
root@xxx:/etc/rc.d# dmesg | grep eth eth0: RealTek RTL-8029 found at 0xc800, IRQ 11, 00:00:21:F9:8A:08. eth1: Realtek RTL8201 PHY transceiver found at address 1. eth1: Using transceiver found at address 1 as default eth1: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xd000, IRQ 11, 00:07:95:eb:8a:ec. I need this LAN, please, need some help here. |
Agh...Not good. Do you have an option in BIOS to change the build-in NIC IRQ?
|
i'll search for it, otherwise i put eth0 in other pci slot to see what happens.....
