The internet problem mentioned is actually the ehternet connection problem and not wireless.

My connection is provided by my college,and usually if it works then I will be redirected to ISP login page before I can continue surfing.

My internet works fine in Vista HP but not so in Slackware.My network card is detected,but running dhcpcd eth0 can't discover my connection.

Any idea?

Hi,

Post 'dmesg |grep -i eth', 'ifconfig -a' and '/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf'.

Here's the result.Sorry for my late reply.I'm little busy now.

root@ARSENAL:/media/disk# dmesg |grep -i eth0

Hi,

For the '/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf' you will either need to move a copy of it to another media then present it or do a 'cat '/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf' which will output to std. If you add a redirection by 'cat '/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf >myrc.inet1.conf'. The you can post the content of 'myrc.inet1.conf' within vbcode tags (# or Quote(balloon to the left of #)).

root@ARSENAL:~# sh /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1:
line 1: eth_up: command not found
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1:
line 2: eth_up: command not found
Polling for DHCP server on interface eth0:

Broadcasting DHCP_DISCOVER
timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response

Any idea?

Bump

Hi,

Post the requested information.

I think I posted them already.Please read the thread

Hi,
You have not posted the '/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf'. This is a configure file and will require you to either copy it then post within code tags textually or use 'most','more','cat' or whatever your comfortable with to display the file. To just enter '/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf' at the cli will get the error you received.

Sorry,I think you need the configuration file is it?

# /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
#
# This file contains the configuration settings for network interfaces.
# If USE_DHCP[interface] is set to "yes", this overrides any other settings.
# If you don't have an interface, leave the settings null ("").

# You can configure network interfaces other than eth0,eth1... by setting
# IFNAME[interface] to the interface's name. If IFNAME[interface] is unset
# or empty, it is assumed you're configuring eth<interface>.

# Several other parameters are available, the end of this file contains a
# comprehensive set of examples.

# =============================================================================

# Config information for eth0:
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""

# Config information for eth1:
IPADDR[1]=""
NETMASK[1]=""
USE_DHCP[1]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[1]=""

# Config information for eth2:
IPADDR[2]=""
NETMASK[2]=""
USE_DHCP[2]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[2]=""

# Config information for eth3:
IPADDR[3]=""
NETMASK[3]=""
USE_DHCP[3]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[3]=""

# Default gateway IP address:
GATEWAY=""

# Change this to "yes" for debugging output to stdout. Unfortunately,
# /sbin/hotplug seems to disable stdout so you'll only see debugging output
# when rc.inet1 is called directly.
DEBUG_ETH_UP="no"

## Example config information for wlan0. Uncomment the lines you need and fill
## in your info. (You may not need all of these for your wireless network)

## Some examples of additional network parameters that you can use.

#DHCP_KEEPRESOLV[4]="yes" # If you dont want /etc/resolv.conf overwritten
#DHCP_KEEPNTP[4]="yes" # If you don't want ntp.conf overwritten
#DHCP_KEEPGW[4]="yes" # If you don't want the DHCP server to change
# your default gateway
#DHCP_IPADDR[4]="" # Request a specific IP address from the DHCP
# server
#WLAN_ESSID[4]=DARKSTAR # Here, you can override _any_ parameter
# defined in rc.wireless.conf, by prepending
# 'WLAN_' to the parameter's name. Useful for
# those with multiple wireless interfaces.
#WLAN_IWPRIV[4]="set AuthMode=WPAPSK | set EncrypType=TKIP | set WPAPSK=thekey"
# Some drivers require a private ioctl to be
# set through the iwpriv command. If more than
# one is required, you can place them in the
# IWPRIV parameter (separated with the pipe (|)
# character, see the example).
USE_DHCP[0]="yes"

Is it the thing you need?

Hi,

You should use the vbcode tags to display the long data/files.

You don't have your 'USE_DHCP[0]="yes" in the file. Place this in the 'eth0' section;

Please read the information present in the file;
