No network detected
I've recompiled my kernel (i had some issues with PCMCIA) but now when i boot linux the "bringing up interface eth0" phase fails, and no network is detected. I think i selected all the necessary options in the "make xconfig" phase of the compilation
TIA |
Try in the command line "ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.123" and see if that works. If it doesn't then yes, you did mess something up in your compile.

It worked, sort of(?)
i did "ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.11" and i was able to get that IP, and also was able to ping my other pc, the one that is connected directly to the internet. But i don't have access to the internet
|
try: dhcpcd -t 10 -d eth0
|
Your other pc is set up as a router and a dhcp server, right?
|
How are the PC connected one to another and with Internet?
Can you make a little schema with arrows? What kind of internet connection have you?(dial-up, adsl, cable,etc) |
My connection
Internet <-> ADSL USB modem <-> PC with ethernet <-> ethernet LAN <-> laptop with ethernet

If you obtain one, it's so easy You must set in the PC the gateway i.e: 192.168.x.x (and the subnet 255.255.255.0) You must set the route. It may be the same Inside usr/sbin you can find the file adsl.setup In one moment you must enter 2 DNS numbers (your Internet provider will give you its) The program ask you about the eth? and some thing that in this moment I not remember Tehe connection can be Internet <-----------> HUb <------->PC1 ^ | ------------> PC 2 The gateway of PC2 (or laptop or Mac or linux ) must be (obviously) the same of the above You must set set etc/host, etc/resolv.conf and etc/sysconfig/network If you don't have a hub you must have 2 eth?: one to connect to the Net and other with the other machine The procedures is the same with adsl If you have any more questions contact me via email :Pengy: :) :study: :cool: |
Re: Re: My connection
Note: PC 2 is connect to the hub |
Before you had issues and had to recompile, did this work at all?
|
Yes it worked
Yes, it worked perfectly. PCMCIA didn't. Now pcmcia works (or at least it doesn't freezes the system when i try to start the service) but the network doesn't. Windows' drives aren't auto-mounted on startup either (but i can mount them manually)
|
window drive can set manually in etc/fstab
are u using dhcp in the network? |
You made a backup of your old kernel, yes? Boot up with that and make sure it still works with the old one...
|
old kernel
Yes, i still have the original kernel and everything works fine with that one. Except PCMCIA of course :(
|
OK, now what did you change? Cause you musta done something... I think that's the most likley cause... See what you put in the kernel... Maybe something as a module versus built-in is messing things up. I'm not a kernel expert, but as drivers are part of the kernel, who knows?
