Problem connecting to internet [Slack]
 

I installed slackware 10 (fluxbox) and I can't connect to the internet. The network card is in my motherboard, which is an EPoX EP-8KDA3+ http://www.epox.org/products/mainboards/8kda3/ , and I'm using a router. ADSL connection.

my computer --> router --> modem --> internet

I've tried netconfig but nothing I've tried worked. So anyone know what I should choose? I don't really know what else I should say so just ask if you need to know more to help me.

Try from terminal;dhcpcd eth0

Didn't fix it.
Also when I try to ping 192.168.0.1 (the router) it says "network is unreachable".

See if there is anything here that can help you,its for gentoo using 64 bit,is there a driver for your card,it is pretty new?I will keep looking.http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handboo...?part=1&chap=3

That leads me to belive that the route isnt set.

first bring the device up: ifconfig eth0 up
next you may need to set the routing: route add default gw 192.168.0.1
after that, try to dhcp an ip: dhcpcd eth0

i was having the same issue with fedora and my own new router. try to set the ip, subnet and gateway to be static. Also, can you log into the router to change options? once i set the above i messed around with ifconfig eth0 up. To run netconfig in slack either su to root and then run netconfig, or if that doesn't work run pkgtool and run netconfig that way. Keep plugging away at it. You also might want to look at the documentation for your router.

I tried with

ifconfig eth0 up

but got "no such devices".

If you get "no such device" then your problem is that the device is not detected at all. Do
dmesg | grep eth0
And if nothing comes up, then your problem is that you need to get the drivers for your card, or enable it in the kernel if it's possible. Either way will require a bit of reading, so look up how to recompile a kernel and how to get your specific ethernet card to work.
