Mandrake 10.1 can't ping my gateway
Hello,
I've just replaced RedHat 8.0 with Mandrake 10.1. The install went ok but my network doesn't work. I can't even ping my gateway. I have a 3Com card that is a few years old. At boot the eth0 interface comes up with no errors. ifconfig gives me valid info. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=10.0.0.40 NETMASK=255.255.252.0 NETWORK=10.0.0.0 BROADCAST=10.0.3.255 ONBOOT=yes MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no WIRELESS_ENC_KEY="" /etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME=mrburns NETWORKING=yes GATEWAY=10.0.0.1 /etc/resolv.conf search qwest.net domain qwest.net nameserver 205.171.2.65 nameserver 205.171.3.65 I think the problem is in the drivers for my network card. But I know just enough to be dangerous. Could someone point me in the right direction? |
everything seems ok. Make sure that no firewalls are running:
iptables -n -L If you get any rules then flush them with iptables -F |
Thanks for looking at it but I figured out my problem. Mandrake thought my firewire card was my network interface and didn't recognize my 3Com card. So I configured the 3Com by hand through the Mandrake Control Center. So if anybody else runs into this same problem that is what worked for me.
