It dznt matter wheter eth0 (internet) or eth1(my lan)
hi there Linux guru,
a newbie-to-intermediate here ... i have experienced on any linux distro : i could make eth0 into dhcp mode .. no problem. i could also release the ip lease .. no problem, all by using hand commands. the problem is WHENEVER i : 1st- release the ip (by hand) 2nd- unplugged/remove the cable 3rd- plug in the cable back again ON THE SAME HUB, 4th- try request an ip to my dhcp server, ... then.. the network card or eth0 seemed to be dead. no light at all on the hub. it dznt matter is i use 100Mbps or 10Mbps hubs since i tried on both. few years back, i know how to "physically" turn on a network card or eth0 for that matter --> only in Solaris (w/c is hme0) and this is done via the manual hand command of "plumb". is there an equivalent is linux ?? of crse my problem is always solved ... if i reboot the client (linux machine redhat 7.x or slackware 9) but i dont want reboot .. wanna learn of crse on how to "turn" the card on again . again, linux gurus out there ... thanks in advance... ... sitting ... here... waiting.... |
i answered my own problem.
it's an old 3com w/c is 3com 3c905b-tx or 3c905c-tx know as "boomerang" i tried replaying the present card with ANOTHER 3COM but diff model ... 3com 3C905CX-TX-NM w/c i borrowed from my windoze box ..... and it worked so , i guess, a simple driver issue and/or 3com models :) |
