Re: Network problem
This seems to be an issue with ifconfig in the latest nettools package of Sid(unstable), this can be fixed if you have a debian cd, like potato, i had this happen today, and just untared the base package into my tmp dir, and replaced the ifconfig binary. This should be fixed eventually. -c - Original Message - From: Jason Davies [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Sent: Monday, February 12, 2001 1:08 PM Subject: Network problem Hi, Has anyone seen this problem before? When I try and enable the network (on bootup) I get error messages. Here is what I get when typing these commands: ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 SIOCSIFADDR: Bad file descriptor lo: unknown interface: Bad file descriptor ifconfig eth0 up eth0: unknown interface: Bad file descriptor This is really annoying because the local loopback doesn't work, and obviously I can't get onto the network. Pinging anything (including 127.0.0.1) simply says the network is unreachable. The modules for the network card seem to load fine. The problem must have stemmed from upgrading some packages to the latest versions (in the unstable distribution) because everything was working fine until I rebooted. I am using kernel 2.4.1 and I've tried using an older kernel but the same things happen, so any suggestions on how to fix this or where to look for problems? I would be very grateful for any help you could provide, Jason Davies. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

All, OK, I feel very silly. I believe there was a post to the list on the subject of changing one's IP post-installation, but I didn't think I'd need it, so I deleted it. Anyhoo, we wound up having to change DSL providers, so I got a brand new IP, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS #s tonight. Unf. I could find files (/etc/hosts) that cited the IP#, but nothing that referenced the others. Someone in the #Debian channel on openprojects.net mentioned the linuxconf package, which I unf did not have installed. I finally got it installed (from CD) but it so far has not allowed me to connect out (I'm on the wife's Mac typing this, how embarassing ...heh). linuxconf keeps reporting errors after I commit to the changes I make. I noticed that even after I'd *made* these changes, the IP # in /etc/hosts was still the *old* one, so something appears not to be happening. Has anyone else had trouble with this program? Is there an easier way to re-work my networking setup? Are there a limited # of files I have to edit and if so, what are they? I'll edit by hand and dump linuxconf. Please some one send me a copy of that recent post on this subject (I looked but can't find it in the archives) if it/its followups answer this question.
