MDK 9, ethernet issue
I require some advice/help. Mandrake 9 is being unsociable with my lynksys router. And I swear I hear it laughing at me when I turn my back (but thats another matter)
it finds the nic just fine & correctly. but refuses to talk to the router even after several alternations between setting things static & dynamic. (I even did the ID10T checks like make sure the cables are pluged in & the card works/connects fine under windows ) Any words of wisdom are much welcome. thanks for any help you can spare D-- |
I'm not familiar with routers like linksys that do everything for you but I can always try to help...
Does your router hand out network IPs using DHCP? Does it masq? Or does it get a bunch of real addresses? What sort of errors do you get when you "talk to the router?" That's kind of vague. More info is always better do diagnose a problem.... |
standard 4 port router, it grabs a a real IP from the isp, then generates its own IP's & distrobutes them to the computers connected to it.
when trying to ping the router (192.168.1.1) I get "Network unreachable" ====edit==== Ok, for some reason it started working after I set everything to 'cable' settings. Theoreticly it should have worked on the 'LAN' setting, right? |
Hmmm...
Ok, what do you see when you type: ifconfig eth0 as root? Network unreachable tells me the problem might be more on your PC side then on the router side... edit: woops sorry, didn't finish reading your post....glad to see it all works. I don't know what difference there would be between 'LAN' and 'Cable' settings.... Not familiar with what you're talking about there...but then I never really went into the drake tools to set up networking stuff much.. Usually did it from the command line |
Try as root:
ifconfig ping localhost ping -b your.router.ip.address That should give you some clues to address the problem. |
