NIC detected, but no connectivity

PressAnyKey · 03-08-2007, 07:12 PM

I'm running Slackware 11.

I have not been able to ping the gateway (router which slackbox is connected directly to).

I can ping lo (loopback) but nothing else.

The results of ifconfig -a displays all adapters and they appear to be detected, one even has an IP address assigned.

I ran netconfig, and I assign a manual IP address, however no adapters get this address after running netconfig.

eth0 has an IP addr, and subnet mask.

When I try to add a default gateway to the routing table I get:

"SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable."

**Updated**

I edited /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf and specified static IP's for all three of the adpaters including 2 hardwired NICS and 1 wireless NIC.

Afterwards I could connect directly to the router/gateway. I cannot however ping past the router. I'm sure I need to add some more routes to get out, but I assumed having the default gateway would takecare of everything.

Can you use DHCP ? If so, it is much easier.

Hi,

Post the output as root;

Code:

#ifconfig -a                   #net device
#route -n                      #route table
#cat /etc/resolv.conf          #DNS

You could just try;

Code:

#ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.10       #set static IP
#route add default gw 192.168.0.1 #gateway route
#ping 192.168.0.1                 #ping GW
#ping 64.233.187.99               #ping google IP
#ping google.com                  #ping google.com chk DNS

Make sure the system works statically then you can setup with the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf. When you have the configure file setup then run '/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart' to init the inet.

Thanks guy.

I actually restarted the machine, and after it game back up, volia, it was working.

Now I need to get wireless working, lol.
