Network Setup Help
Hello. I installed Debian 3.0r4 onto a machine yesterday and things seemed to go alright. When I started the machine up today, I found I have no networking. There are two NICs but no device nodes for them. They were there yesterday. One I am not using yet and the other is connected to my local network. I want to have this host use dhcp to configure itself. Dhcp I understand well enough and could get it working if I had an interface to work with. How do I create and configure /dev/eth0 and /dev/eth1? Or how do I get the system to do it? Thanks. Don -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Network Setup Help
the drivers are not loaded. you can install the discover program to help or you can load all network drivers and see which ones are in use after you modprobe them all 1) cd /lib/modules/kernel_version/kernel/drivers/net 2) for module in `ls *.o`; do modprobe `echo $module| sed -e 's/\.o//'`; done 3) lsmod (look for ones that are in use (a non-zero value) 4) manually add the modprobe lines that are needed at the top of the /etc/init.d/networking startup script this has happened to me before as well. there may be other ways, but this will help you find out which drivers you need (blindly). hardware probing scripts like discover or kudzu help as well, but will be hard to install them without network device to grab them from a debian repository ;) good luck, chris On Mon, 2005-05-16 at 12:43 -0700, Donald Perkovich wrote: Hello.

Run lspci to see what chipset is being used by your NICs; then run modconf to install the driver appropriate for that chipset. (Or modprobe to install the driver for just this session.) Or you can install discover to help do the automagic hardware probing. -- Kent West Technology Support /A/bilene /C/hristian /U/niversity -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Home Network Setup Help
I installed my Debian system as a single user PC but now want to configure this machine as a Server for a Network. I realized very quickly that the slackware book I have that describes setting up a network is a little different than the debian system I have installed. Where can I find any info on setting up a debian Network from scratch? I have all of the hardware. What I need to know is which files need to be created/edited? Are there any configuration tools that may be of help? I spotted 'cfengine' and 'linuxconfig' but don't know yet if they will be of any use? Thanks, Lance
