Cannot connect to internet
 

Hi ! I cannot connect to the internet : I connect through a lan .I can reach through internet from win98 but I cannot connect from amigo. My lan card is installed(I used lsmod and it is there)---- Realtek 8139. So far i used netconfig like this:

these are taken from windows for dhcp

hostname Argos
domainname Argos.p24.pub.ro
dhcp : 10.24.2.207
when loading says something that it doesnt find dhcpcd


also tried with an static IP

hostname , domainname 10.24.13.7 (my Ip) gateway and nameserver
10.24.2.207
but says when loading : siocaddrt : Network is unreachable
I had Amigo installed 5months ago and I have connected that time using dhcp and with the same IP s.

Thank you !

What are the netmasks for the ip address you have given here

Hi : win98 says 255.255.0.0
i tried both 255.255.0.0 and 255.255.255.0

Have you run ifconfig?

I did :


bash-2.05b# ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

Read the man pages for ifconfig. I think you need to do ifconfig down, then ifconfig up.

I finally got it working : I downloaded this package from slackware site (dhcp and dhcpcd)
I installed them and after reboot it just worked

thanks a lot

You must be using an rc version of Amigo -Amigo-2.0 has those packages pre-installed.

I dont know if it does matter but the image bootdisk was called amigo2rc10

Yeah it does. The final version includes several more packages. In fact, dhcp and dhcpd were the first things to be added in to Amigo-2.0
