Can't ping router

Hi,
I have Compaq 6720s, installation of Slackware 12 was ok, but my network does not work. I can't ping my router (192.168.1.1) it says that Destination Host Unreachable.
Here is my ifconfig output :

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1A:4B:75:06:31
inet addr:192.168.1.10 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

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)


Also I have Windows Vista, and there everything works fine.

Also I've found this in dmesg output :

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP):eth0: link is not ready

I tried to install last e1000 driver, but result is the same

Unfortunately I can't find ifup script in my system (It should be in sbin as I know). I set static IP to my eth0 in rc.inet1.conf, no DHCP. If I set DHCP=yes and set router as DHCP server , then eth0 does not even start up.

OK - try

ifconfig eth0 up

route

Odd you cannot use dhcp - this is the preferred method.

What's in
rc.inet1.conf
resolv.conf

My eth0 is already up, you can see ifconfig output in the first message.

Also I tried to add router as default gateway like this :

route add default gw 192.168.1.1

But it brings no effect.

So here is my rc.inet1.conf :


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

# Config information for eth0:
IPADDR[0]="192.168.1.2"
NETMASK[0]="255.255.255.0"
USE_DHCP[0]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""


and resolv conf :

searh ant //domen
nameserver 192.168.1.1

I read some where that this message :

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP):eth0: link is not ready

means that something is wrong with hardware - network cable is unplugged e.t.c
But network works fine in Windows Vista. Also I heard that Windows can disable ethernet card after shutdown. Can I check network card somehow from slackware?

All right - if there's something wrong an the linux end I can't see it.
What kind of router is this?

Check firewall - including the router. Turn SELinux off.

Oh yes - and check that Windows hasn't put the card to sleep... in bios, there may be a setting for saving power that can be disabled. May even be good enough to let you select by device. But you'll have to hunt for it.

The IP address is 192.168.1.2, but the ifconfig shows that's 192.168.1.10. Check your config.

To verify the hardware, the first is to see your LED light of eth0 is physically on. (green 10MB/orange 100MB)

Yes, but it's not mistake, I've changed IP, this logs from different time periods. Now I have netcard IP 192.168.1.2.

I have no firewall in the system but do not sure about SELinux, how can I check it?
I've found this in dmesg output :

Databook TCIC-2 PCMCIA probe: not found.
usbhid: exports duplicate symbol hiddev_hid_event (owned by kernel)
e1000: eth0: e1000_test_msi: MSI interrupt test failed, using legacy interrupt.
NET: Registered protocol family 10
lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready

I've solved the problem by adding

append="acpi=noirq"

to boot parameters. Now everything is OK!

I do not know, I even do not know what acpi is. However it works and I'm glad. So maybe someone will tell me what is this?
