Router Problem


I have an old machine that was collecting dust so I decided to put a copy of Redhat 7.3 on it so I could get some linux experience, however I can't get it connected to the net. I'm running it through a Linksys router, which currently has to winxp comps on it (one with an eth-net connection and the other one done wirelessly.) I followed a guide for configuring it it, but every time I try to ping anything I get 'connect: Network is unreachable'. I know this is probably vague but I'm not sure ony many other details or how to get them. I should also note that I'm limited to command line since thats all a could instal on this old machine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do you know the !P of the linksys and any other configuration on it?

What is the results of the command "route -n" and "ifconfig" on the redhat 7.3 box.

Was the network card recognized?
Does the output of the command /sbin/ifconfig show anything for eth0? Is there an IP address being assigned?

Could be just a DHCP problem. You can try configuring a static IP.
Log in as root and enter the command:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

I've got CRS at the moment and can't remember the default Linksys IP (192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1)

BTW the network configuration script is called netconfig

When I type "route -n" I get a chart with the Following:

Detination: Gateway: Genmask: Flags: Metric: Ref: Use: Iface:
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo

Under "ifconfig":

Link encap: Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTY:16436 Metic:1
(Various stuff about packets, all 0)


As for the eth-card, could have sworn it was reconized. I have seen it referenced on boot up and the first time it came I went through a configuration screen. However when I typed "ifconfig eth0 192......" I got:

eth0: unknown interface: No such device

Any idea on the make/model of the network card?
Look at the output of lspci and post the line for the ethernet controller.

I have no idea the make/model, the card was an old one I had from a comp I was about to scrap (had gotten ti off someone). I'm not extremely exp with old computers, but I'm thinking it may not be PCI? THe box I'm running had a couple slots I reconized a pci and then 2 longer black ones. It was one of these I put the e-net card in. Also, I don't see anything about the card when I type lspc.

Is this a Cable/DSL router? If that is the case, it can serve up your IP address and DNS addresses. You want to use DHCP, or enter the items manually. The gateway address should be 192.168.1.1.

Also, linksys routers have a web based configuration at the same address:
https://192.168.1.1

By default, leave the user blank and the default password is 'admin'

----

Sorry, but I didn't read the other messages closely enough. If you use 'lsmod' you can get a list of modules that are loaded into the kernel. 'lspci' will give you a listing of pci devices. From that, we could find out which driver you need for your NIC card.

So it is an ISA ethernet card. It will help if you physically look at the card to see find out the manufacture and maybe model number.

The only info I could pull off the card was the following:

Eagle: By Microdyne
Novell NE2000Tplus
Work Order: 510827


Don't know if any of that helps or not.

Ok, so this is just a ne2000 clone card. With ISA cards you still need to know its configuration i.e. IO, IRQ etc. So here is how to do it.

For some reason I'm starting to think that the card may not be beeing detected. W What do I type to check if the card is or isn't?

ISA cards are not plug and play so therefore not automatically detected. The links I posted show you how to configure an ISA card. I assume that isapnp utilities are included in the 7.3 version but can not confirm.

What specificaly should I be looking at? I read some of the stuff pertaining to ne2000 cards but I'm still a bit confused.

Look on the RH install cds for an RPM called isapnptools. Install this package and run the pnpdump utility. Post the output.
