THE SITUATION:
MY OPERATING SYSTEM IS LINUX MANDRAKE AND LINUX SLACKWARE.
I BOOT FROM MANDRAKE.
I HAVE TW0 NIC THE 3COM 3C509B AND BROADCOM BCM94306.
ALL THOSE TWO NIC'S ARE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET.
I AM CONNECTED TO A PROXY SERVER.
I USED MY 3COM NIC TO CONNECT ME TO THE INTERNET.
I USED STATIC IP FOR THIS NIC(3COM).
I USED THE COMMAND modprobe 3c509 for my 3com nic.
(nevermind the Broadcom)
MY PROBLEM:
only my slackware can connect me to the internet.
my mandrake cannot,
ive tried pinging my ip or my loopback .. it did replied ,,
but if i ping my proxy server the says network destination unreachable.
It is important for me to connect my mandrake to the internet, because i will be using it for some important purposes.
I have tried reconfiguring all network configuration of mandrake. but it has no effect.
Originally posted by codedv Does Mandrake see your Network Cards. At the shell prompt type:
# ifconfig -a
If your network cards do not show up they should show as eth0 and eth1 then this means you may not have the appropriate kernel drivers.
First test to ensure that your PC can see the hardware by listing all PCI devices:
# lspci -v
when i use the ifconfig -a
it gives the exact ip addresses and shows the interfaces used
so the kernel has its appropriate drivers
i used the command lspci -v
how do i know if its the lancard info,its displaying.
it has many info diplayed i know some of them mysound card and my video card. my nic card is in ISA slot and it is 3com 3c509b, and i dont see any info of it
[B]ive tried pinging my proxy server this the output from my Linux slackware(my os that can connect to the internet)
