Re: eth0 down after upgrade
Hi Craig, I have had lots of problems doing an apt-get dist-upgrade since last week. Now my network connection doesn't work. Before the apt-get upgrade I was using eth0 to connect to a DSL modem/router while the wireless interface (ra0) was disconnected. Now I find out that the computer is using ra0, eth0 is inactive and I can't find out why or how to activate eth0. Has there been any recently upgraded packages that would have screwed up my network configuration? When I try to active eth0 (from the GUI admin) it fails saying that it is not set up properly. Huh? Everything WAS set up properly a week ago. I can use the internet now via the ra0 interface. Also my webserver is running, telnet and sshd are running as normal. However, I cannot access these servers from any other machine - not even from the local network (from a wireless laptop, using the local ip for access). sounds interesting, but please tell me more. One hint in advance. Use the new driver for your Ralink wireless card. Then ra0 changes to eth1. Now, please paste /etc/network/interfaces. Do you use a router or just a DSL modem? Can you manually start your eth0 device? Try (supposing your network is 192.168.1.0: ifconfig ra0 down ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.5 up route add default gw 192.168.1.1 and then ping your router. Greetings, Tobias NOTE: the DSL modem/ router is functioning properly. I restarted it, tryed it with another computer and everything is working the same as always. My laptop can use either wireless or ethernet just fine. When I reboot the debian box into windows it uses both the wireless and ethernet interfaces OK.

Re: eth0 down after upgrade
Hi Craig, sounds interesting, but please tell me more. One hint in advance. Use the new driver for your Ralink wireless card. Then ra0 changes to eth1. Now, please paste /etc/network/interfaces. The Ralink driver is already the newest. (Hasn't been updated since sometime in 2004) apt-cache search ralink There is a new and far better version. Well it will not solve your problems, but anyway. /etc/network/interfaces -- iface eth0 inet static address 220.42.128.76 netmask 255.255.252.0 gateway 220.42.131.254 iface ra0 inet dhcp wireless-essid YahooBB auto ra0 For me it seems that you want to connect with two interfaces to the same router. Does the router like this? Have you tried just bringing up eth0 on start? Thats my config for comparison. When I try to bring up both, I have routing problems. -%- iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.7 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 # Wireless eth1 auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.1.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 -%- Greetings, Tobias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
