networking in mandriva 2006
I've got a toshiba M40's series laptop which has XP pro on, I just dual-booted w/ Mandriva 2006. Mandriva finds the following ethernet cards under HardDrake
Wireless = Intel Pro/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection Wired = Marvell Yukon 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller The wired yukon is shown in the configure network but I can't load up a website get a error occured while loading http://www.google.ca Or whatever website I specify. So then I thought I'd try the wireless connection. Again its found in harddrake, and I Could load the wireless setup for Network and Internet COnfiguration, but after specifying use default or "unknown" driver it just locks up or I click next and get told no device found. I'm pulling my hair out here trying to get this to work. Apprecaite any assistance you can offer. I should also add I'm new to linux so simple instructions would be nice... PLEASE HELP!!! THANKS!!! The laptop is a Toshiba Satelite Centro 1.8GHZ 1GHZ DDR Memory 80gb HD Nvidia 6600 Graphics card Mandriva 2006 KDE Version: 3.4.2 Release: 2.6.12-12mdk Machine: i686 |
Taking one thing at a time, let's try and get the regular ethernet working as that is easier than wireless. With the yukon nic connected, open a console and run:
$ su <enter root password> # ifconfig That gives the status of the network interfaces. Also, see if you can ping a website using the numeric IP instead of the website name by opening a console and running: $ ping -c3 64.179.4.146 The above is the numeric ip for this website. If you can, this would indicate a problem with DNS resolution. Post back your results. |
