Aha, I was messing around with my YDL 6.0 on my PS3 and now my network connections gone.. dead.. they wont connect at all

I was wandering if there was a way to restore the defauly network settings, even through the teminal, im happy to try anything..

Thanx in advance

It will be abit more clearer if you posted any errors you are receiving for instance when you run "ifconfig" or "ip addr show" from the terminal. What exactly does "messing around" mean? Were you installing new cards, changing your network configs? Kindly shows us some more details.

Ok.. maybe this wont help..

bash: ifconfig: command not found (trying to run ipconfig) (both run from terminal root)
bash: ip: command not found (trying to run ip addr show) (both run from terminal root)

And, i was trying to manually setup my i.p. address so that my set ports on my router could work on bittorrent, but in the process of doing that, i seem to have.. mislaid my network information, meaning.. that i cannot connect to the internet in any way, at the moment.. >_>

ip: 192.168.1.136
netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.1
/\
"What I was trying to setup"

P.S. I am using YDL 6.0 (mentioned above)

Hmm, can anyone help.. ive looked around this forum, and cant see any similar problems relating to YDL on the PS3.. I'm the only one.. >_>

Help would gladly be apreciated.. ^_^

Did you run the above commands as i suggested like for instance "ifconfig" in my box gives me this[HTML]eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:B0:42:64:B1

From the what you were trying to work on suspect it doesnt have entirely much to do with your distro as you are insisting. My guess is that the problem is what you did with your router configs. I dunno if its a cisco router or a general linux box. Can you see your eth0(or whatever you have named your cards)? If not are they active? Can you ping your router?

ive already said that ipconfig doesnt work

i cant connect to my router using http://192.168.1.1

i cannot connect to the internet though any program

I have a linksys BEFSR41 router

I only used wired connection, and i can see my network card "eth0" and it says "inactive"
when i try activate it says no link present, check cable.. cable is perfectly ok, it works on PS3 OS, just seems as if ethnet card has been disabled, how to re-enable?

=S

iwconfig worked for me not ifconfig, heres results

GREAT NEWS, Ive got it working again

The hypervisor had shut down wired connection to start up wireless, as both cant be running at same time, my wired connection was cut off!!
