Realtek rtl8139 up but not rinnung
 

I have a RealTek trl8139 compatible card. it detect find on every level
but somehow does not work

here is relevent dmesg output:

i also get a lot of this:

*The usb is because i have a usb ethernet adapter wich is setup as eth1 (which im using for now)
now i can do : ifconfig "my_ip" netmask ... broadcast ... up
no error. ifconfig output:

but that is as far as it will go.
from there nothing works
dhcpcd eth0 hangs (does not give any ouput but i can kill it)
if have added in /etc/modules.conf the following line
alias eth0 8139too
any ideas is more than welcome
thanks you all

try
#ifconfig eth1 down
which will tell linux not to use eth1, so it will use eth0 instead

It could be that there is a hardware problem (such as a bad cable) or your router is not running a dhcp server.

sorry i should have said:
Here is what i have done:
ifconfig eth1 down
killall dchpcd
ifconfig eth0 ... ... ... up
dhcpcd eth0

also i dont actualy have a router. this is a single computer/connection.
and the cable as to be good cause it is the same that i connect to the usb ether adapter.
Thanks for the tips though :)
