I want to redo my network setup, as it seems to be hosed beyond my capacity to fix it. This is my day-to-day home system, so I'm afraid to delete everything and NOT have network access. Last time we talked ( and I hijacked a thread on newuser-network) the suggestion was made to remove all GUI networks apps and just manipulate the files manually.
here is my current situation( with network up and alive): # uname -r 2.6.18-6-686 # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:76:bc:3f:af inet addr:192.168.10.4 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2303657 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1500964 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:2917443929 (2.7 GiB) TX bytes:120961974 (115.3 MiB) Base address:0xecc0 Memory:dffe0000-e0000000 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:38671 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:38671 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:11241131 (10.7 MiB) TX bytes:11241131 (10.7 MiB) # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default 192.168.10.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 # cat /etc/resolv.conf # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN nameserver 192.168.10.1 I have 1 network card, and my PC is connected to my netgear router ( 192.168.10.1) I am running KDE here are the network packages I have installed: # dpkg --list|grep network ii gnome-nettool 2.20.0-1 network information tool for GNOME ii ifupdown 0.6.8 high level tools to configure network interf ii iproute 20080108-1 Professional tools to control the networking ii iputils-ping 3:20071127-1 Tools to test the reachability of network ho ii libnm-glib0 0.6.5-3 network management framework (GLib shared li ii libnm-util0 0.6.5-3 network management framework (shared library ii net-tools 1.60-19 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii netbase 4.30 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii network-manager 0.6.5-3 network management framework daemon ii network-manager-gnome 0.6.5-3 network management framework (GNOME frontend ii ntop 3:3.2-10.1 display network usage in top-like format ii wireshark 0.99.7-1~lenny1 network traffic analyzer ii wireshark-common 0.99.7-1~lenny1 network traffic analyser (common files) what is my next step? if I remove all the packages will it take my network down? If so, what do I need to add or make sure I have in what files? thanks, -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
