Hi all,
I sent this mail to SuSE installation support. They did not help me with
this ! What a shame, one should get his internet connection working I would
say... Anyway here follows the problem:
System:
PowerMac 7600 / 160 Mb
SuSE Linux 7.3
eth0: PCI slot 1: Farallon 10/100 (connected to the ADSL modem with cross
cable)
eth1: internal card of the PowerMac (connected to hub with normal cable)
ISP: ADSL with DHCP recognition
kernel: oldworld kernel as delivered by the CD
key nr: 4736 4510 4341 42
During boot following error messages:
- wrong entry in /etc/route.conf 0.0.0.0
routing failed
I checked this file, it looks like this:
default 0.0.0.0
I changed it later to have nothing in the route.conf, then I did a rcroute
restart then no error messages appeared anymore during booting.
I am trying to set up my network connections, both with my LAN as well as my
internet provider. I would like to start with my ISP. My internet connection
goes via eth0. The protocol is via DHCP with the ISP (automatic recognition
by the MAC address). In fact both cards are known by the ISP, so basically
both eth cards could be used to set up the connection with the ISP.
I tried (I think) all possible configurations with DHCP with eth0 but
nothing seems to work (I did this with YaST 2 in ethernet card
configuration). I think it's more a hardware problem (device driver was
automatically set to tulip (DECchip 21142/43) by SuSE Linux, but I also
tried other PCI drivers like pcnet32, dmfe, sis900). The eth0 card is by
Farallon. First question: which device driver should I take for this one,
probably tulip ?
Second: Are the eth1 settings important for eth0 ?
The strange thing is that if I start up linux both eth0 and eth1 are started
(with tulip driver), and ifconfig -a gives the following (did not type in
all things):
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C5:50:68:4D
inet6 addr: fe80::200:c5ff:fe50:684d/10 Scope:Link
...
eth1 link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:05:02:1C:EB:10
inet6 addr: fe80::205:2ff:fe1c:eb10/10 Scope:Link
...
Or is there anything else I should try ?
By the way, this is the error message I get each time: "No IP address was
assigned. Device eth1 is not running. Device eth0 is not running".
regards,
Jeroen Diederen
