This problem happened about a week after I set up a LAN with a Mac and the Linux (Mndr 10.1) box with a Linksys Router.
Network card: VIA Technologies
VT 6102 [Rhine II 10/100]
module: via-rhine
All of a sudden the network could not start at boot, and I tried to configure it with the configure tools. Also tried reconfiguring the card. When I've gone through all options and pages I get a "success" message. Still no network.
In my tool bar I have a little network icon. When I click on that and get the network window it ,of course, says "not connected" and asks if it should connect ethernet. Twice I also was asked about an unknown network on a usb port, which is probably a "left over" from when I tried to set up a network with my PDA (which, by the way, didn't work).
When I do grep dhclient /var/log/syslog I get this:
DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 172.18.66.6
port 67
DHCPACK from 172.18.166.6
bound to 69.144.207.37
I get
several lines of something similar. I only tried to reconfigure three times...
I don't know what this means. I tried to write down as much info as possible (as you can see
), but if you need to know more, I will gladly tell you more!
Networking is, obviously, not my forte', so ANY ideas are appreciated!
