Wired connection does not work in Slack64 14.1

Hi folks,

I am having problems to connect to the Internet on Slackware64 14.1 . I have a r8169 network board and I need to connect through DHCP. Either NetworkManager and netconfig command have not been able to connect me to the Internet. On Windows, the wired connection works normally. I do not know what is happening, but I can show here some devices, files and actions that I have been trying until then...

Here are my devices:

Code:

0f:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 0c)
Here is my device for the wired connection

Code:
# ifconfig eth0

Do you have a DHCP server running somewhere? eth0 is getting a loopback address. Looks like your DHCP server isnt running

Go to /etc/rc.d and open rc.inet1.conf (you may need to be logged in as root to do this). Look at the config info for eth0. It should say:

DHCP[0}="yes"

If it doesn't change it.

Note, I have two different ethernet cards, one on the motherboard that doesn't work and an add-on card. As a result I have:

DHCP[1]="yes"

In other words, I have to use eth1. eth0 does not work for me. So you may want to try this for your system. I hope this helps.

After a boot, run the 'dmesg|grep eth' command to check how your ports are assigned.
You may have to delete the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-network.rules as well ...

Otherwise - I believe morrgp is right, your non-mobo adapter is probably eth1 ...

To check interfaces' names type as root:
Code:
ifconfig -a

Perhaps your DHCP server is expecting a specific name from your machine.

What is providing your DHCP service? A cable modem?

I do not know exactly how to answer your question, since I am a newbie on that =/. But I am sure that is not a cable modem, since I am trying to connect to the DCHP server of my University. There are several access points placed here and I am taking one cable to plug to my network board. Ah... I also remember that I had to register the MAC address of my notebook. I did it and received a confirmation that my MAC address was successfully recorded.

Thanks,

Hi,

You may need to register the MAC address for the eth0 device in this machine for the network to issue a IP on the University network.

One other request is to show us the kernel route table by issue of 'route -n' from the cli as root after you do a '/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart' once you fetch a IP from the server. Be sure to issue a 'ifconfig -a' and post all the requested information please.

Hi,

You can use; Configure your new Slackware System
One other point, be sure to look at 'lspci -vv' to see which module is in use for your r8169 device. You can also look at 'lsmod' to show modules in use, then do a modinfo r8169 to see which firmware is in place.;

Plus when someone tells you to delete the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, you must re-boot to generate a new rule.

Hope this helps.
