nothing happens when i type that
|
What Tinkster trying to ask you to do is login as root, to do this, all you have to do is open up a terminal and type:
su - Then enter root's password, and then on the following line type: ifconfig And post what you get from that. If it doesn't work, go ahead and post up the error message you get, error messages are VERY important when troubleshooting. :) Also, when you said "I tried going to the Mandrake Control Center but it didn't work" what exactly happened? What did you try, and what didn't work? Cool |
sorry Tinkster but im new at this so, ya.... well i guess i did something wrong or mistypped something and it did telle me something when i typed ifconfig:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:4B:30:B7:5B UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2419 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:145578 (142.1 Kb) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:9 Base address:0x3440 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:50 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:50 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:3296 (3.2 Kb) TX bytes:3296 (3.2 Kb) |
Rrrright ... so, for some reason, it doesn't
get an IP-address assigned which would explain why it doesn't work :} ... Please, as root, do: Code:
cd /var/logIf you knew the IP that you get in windows you could try to "hardwire" that one ... Cheers, Tink |

Ummmph ... not very informative, is it? :/
K, next attempt: can you post the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/draknet_conf please? Cheers, Tink |
maybe i did something wrong.... im thinking i probably am not supposed to type that in a console... heres what it did:
[root@localhost root]# /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/draknet_conf -bash: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/draknet_conf: No such file or directory |
try opening it with emacs.
emacs /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/draknet_conf or if its executable ./etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/draknet_conf |
whats emacs? and if it is executable do i type ./etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/draknet_conf in a console?

Ummm ... ls -l /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ If it shows a file called draknet<sumptn> (not the default, though...) less /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/draknet<sumptn> Cheers, Tink |

So then:
less /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/draknet_conf And post up the contents displayed. Less is a text reader, works great when all you want to do is view the text, and not edit anything. Cool |
I am thinking maybe the file is corupt or soemthing.... but then again i am a :newbie: so here's what it gave me:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/drakconnect_conf lines ?-?/? (END) |
Looks like Mandy changed the name of
the file with the most recent major release jump ... how microsoftish of them ... :D less /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/drakconnect_conf Cheers, Tink |
so tinkster.... do i type
less /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/drakconnect_conf in the console? because that looks to me like its exactly the same as what i typed b4 :) |
