[expert] Network Install Fail, Signal 11
Hi all, Thought I'd give up waiting for the ISO's to be released and do a network install, but no go. Yes, PNP is turned off in the BIOS, if that matters in this case. Anyway, boots from the floppy fine, choose FTP, then DHCP, identifies the network card correctly, then when it tries to bring up networking, I get Signal 11, exiting. The logs (alt-F3) show that the machine got the correct info from my DHCP server and loaded the driver for the net card successfully, shows no errors at all (?) Any idea what in tarnation is goin' wrong? Thanks! BTW, if anyone can point me to an FTP with the ISO's, I'd ray appreciate it, save me this hassle. -- HaywireMac ++ ICQ # 279518458 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org ++ Mandrake HowTo's More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++ A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it. -- Oscar Wilde, The Portrait of Mr. W.H.

Those have been problematic for me many times for network installs. I don't know why, and have never had the time to diagnose it. Since they're such common hardware around here I started carrying a 160 GB Maxtor with cooker and current release trees mirrored from uninett.no on it in a USB enclosure instead of doing the internet/network install. That always works. (-: The logs (alt-F3) show that the machine got the correct info from my DHCP server and loaded the driver for the net card successfully, shows no errors at all (?) Guess it wasn't the network interface then since that's where I've seen failures before with NIC problems. Any idea what in tarnation is goin' wrong? Thanks! BTW, if anyone can point me to an FTP with the ISO's, I'd ray appreciate it, save me this hassle. I wonder if the problem is related to the fact that all the install images in the 9.2 tree have changed to get rid of the LG problem since I checked yesterday? There's no longer a .10mdkBOOT kernel image and that's likely what was on your network install floppy. You'll have to rewrite that disk I think. I say that because I ran rsync against the 9.2 tree a few minutes ago on my repository drive(s) and noticed there have been updates. Try a new network image; it couldn't hurt.

[expert] network cards running at 10mb/s instead of 100 - why?
Hello, Perhaps someone can enlighten me as to why my network is running at 1/10 the speed it should be. The network cards on my firewall, which is running MNF, are all running at 10mb/s. At least two should be running at 100. I can see they are running slow by running this, for instance: # mii-tool eth0 eth0: 10 Mbit, half duplex, no link whereas, it should be like this, right - # mii-tool eth0 eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok (which is what I do get on my other PCs). There is nothing special in the modules.conf, as far as I can tell - alias tap0 ethertap options tap0 -o tap0 unit=0 alias eth0 8139too alias eth1 8139too alias eth2 dmfe I'm a bit confused because the system messages show this, which indicates the cards should be running at 100mb/s: Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.24 Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:03.0 Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xc6849000, 00:05:1c:98:3c:77, IRQ 11 Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:06.0 Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: eth1: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xc684b000, 00:00:21:04:60:8c, IRQ 5 Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: dmfe: Davicom DM9xxx net driver, version 1.36.4 (2002-01-17) Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:04.0 Oct 18 12:35:51 gw kernel: eth2: Davicom DM9102 at pci00:04.0, 00:08:a1:2c:17:57, irq 9.

You need to add an entry to your /etc/hosts file that specifies an IP address for anne-linux.lydgate.net which is the machine that is broadcasting the printer connection. Without an entry to your /etc/hosts file, your machine is trying to connect to anne-linux.lydgate.net and the DNS server is saying that it does not know how to resolve that hostname. I assume that you are not running your own DNS server and DHCP server or else those would be setting the nameserver to the DNS and the DNS would be resolving the hostname for the box. On my local network, I use not FQD names as hostnames and on each machine, I need to add the IP addresses for all of these machines to the hosts file.

Hi Anne, James is rihgt. If you don't have a decent DNS running within your LAN, you need to keep the canonical-Name - IP-Address translations in the /etc/hosts files on both systems (Printer-Server and Client). Also - make sure that Cups allows printing from this IP-Address. Default it denies it ...

My reply earliers doesn't seem to have got through. What I said was: Thanks, Bryan and Jack. You are both right, I'm sure. That box is a very low spec and hardly capable of anything, so I've never spent much time on it. I'm sure that's what it is. I've been thinking about it while I was out this afternoon and came to a similar conclusion. I'm going to replace the puny disk that has no room for manouver, sometime in the next day or two and re-install. It's a temporary fix, though, as I intend building a better machine in a few weeks. Meanwhile, I'll get essential services only running, but fixing the dns does count there :-) The router is acting as dns server, and could cope with the ip, but not with the name. I did have this box acting as dns server at one point, then changed my mind. I might change it back again :-) Thanks again, both of you Also - make sure that Cups allows printing from this IP-Address. Default it denies it ... Now this I haven't come across.

PNIC2 Error Fixed [was Re: [expert] Network Card Recommendations]
The PNIC2 eth0 tx hung mystery has been solved. I though I would share the solution. Background: the eth0 error started showing up after a large thunderstom rolled through Texas around Christmas. The problem would come and go appearing mostly when the network was under high load due to backup. Sometimes the error would cause the hub to shutdown (so I thought). We'll, checking each connection at the hub revealed that the hub would crash when I connected the server to the hub. This combined with the PNIC2 eth0 message caused me to suspect the Linksys LNE100TX card in the server. So I found another one in Nacogdoches (no easy task in Nacogdoches, Texas). Replaced the card repowered the hub and all was well (I thought). I started the backup and went to lunch after watching for 10 minutes to make sure all was well. Got back from lunch - everything was dead again. Well, as it turns out, it wasn't the server network card, but it was a problem with the hub. The fan in the old CNET 8-port was dying and causing the hub to overheat. The LM server was the only machine on the network smart enough to log any errors. Being the server, it also carried the most traffic and would cause the hub to overheat once connected making it look like a server network card problem. Thanks for everyones help with this problem over the past few weeks. And, did I tell you, I only had to drive 60 miles to find a new 8-port!

Re: [expert] network goes dead
I have had this sort of problem in the past, with mdk7.2 up to 8.2. There was never anything I could find to explain what was going on. It didn't seem to be related to any firewall, although I have never used shorewall. For me, the conditions that caused it were: 33k modem connection; heavy local CPU load. With a faster modem connection, it never happened. And, since I changed ISP, I always get a faster connection, so it's not a problem any more. Brian.

[expert] Network Profile swiching With MDK 9.0
All, Trying to find a way to switch network profiles on the fly with MDK 9.0 I've found a number of them that work at boot time, but since I don't always know what I'm going to do until after a boot they are for the most part useless. (Unless I want to do the Windows reboot dance.) Using the profile tool in MCC doesn't work either as it keeps getting things confused and since it immediately tries to connect with the last profile I get tired of waiting 5 minutes for it to figure out it can't connect so that I can set up a new one. (Then when I try to switch back later it's hell all over again.) Does anyone know of a tool like the old drakprofile that just lets me make the changes and restart the network without rebooting and waiting for all kinds of help to time out?

I've seen the profiles -- is there any documentation on what you can do with them? Based on this, and Todd's suggestion, I guess I can try to create some boot time logic to see if the dock is present, and load (or not load) the network accordingly. It's just shame that it couldn't just fail gracefully, noting that the interface doesn't seem to be present, and moving on. Thanks!

This may not be the most elegant way, but you could edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 and change the ONBOOT parameter to no. Then when you want to bring up eth1, type: ifup eth1 When you want to undock the laptop, you can bring down eth1 first with: ifdown eth1 On Friday 11 October 2002 08:45 pm, John O'Shaughnessy wrote: Greetings, I've got a Dell Latitude C400 with mandrake 9.0.

When I installed the system, eth0 was the internal interface, eth1 was the dock, and wireless was added later, showing up as eth2. Now, when I try to book undocked, the system freezes trying to bring up eth1, which, I'm assuming, means it is looking for the Dock Ethernet, which isn't there. I need to power down, or CTRL-ALT-DEL to get out of the situation. Is there a way to make the system understand that the interfaces may or may not be present, or at the very least, not to hang when not docked?

Create a script which will first check for the existence of your
server and share ('smbclient -L //server', then parse the output
to look for the correct share name). Then, if the server and
share exist, run smbmount with the appropriate options to mount
your samba server/share. Then, create a cron job that will run
the script every 5 minutes.
Being the worlds slowest script writer. (wanna race... you'll
win!) I'd agree but do one thing different. Set a variables
initial value to 0 then if the mount point doesn't exist it trys
to run the mount. ( a while loop maybe ) Sleeps for 6 minutes and
trys again if it finds the mount it returns 1 and it exits. If not
it does it again and again.

[expert] Network Client Billing Solution needed
I've got a situation whereby a client allows its building's tenants to use their LAN, and in some cases their mail server within the firewall. They will also be able to set up their own servers in a DMZ for such things as web/mail/sftp hosting. What we need to be able to do is be able to obtain stats for usage, both in and out, on any interface, and then present these in an easy-to-understand, per client (i.e. ip range) format. Now, using Netflow on the Cisco's, this should be possible. But there is also one site which has an unmanaged HP switch (sigh!), which may prove more interesting I'm guessing that I'll need to monitor several/all ports, then find a decent analysis package which will dump into csv, Excel (for Open Office) or somesuch format, but an end-to-end would be nice :) Has anybody come across any decent solutions?

Hey Guys! a little background on my problem. I have a Mandrake box 8.0 acting as a kinda DSL router. It has 2 NIC cards. One with a Real IP and one with a non-routable (192.168.1.1) I have a web server on the inside on the following IP: 192.168.0.110 I have forwarding set up to send any request coming in on port 80 to 192.168.0.110. It does not work :( but the Linux box CAN ping the web server? If the web server is on 192.168.0.110 I assume it will work. (because I have used the iptables script on another box, and it works fine. The box is working as a gateway for the 3 or so computers behind it grabbing a DHCP assigned address. ;) Sooo I assume I need to do something n the Linux box for routing? Ideas?

[expert] Network problems
Hi all, I've run into a couple of problems the *fm's I can find don't solve. How in 'ell do you UN configure the Internet connection sharing #1: While trying to set up Internet connection sharing I fsck'd my local network e.g. NO NFS connection.. OK referring to a suggestion sent on this subject several weeks ago, I tried to then set up static IP addressing, Nope, no worky.. I don't get NFS OR connection sharing. Worse yet, now I can't even ping the nameserver of my IP, Dial Up Connection (216.190.159.2), so no Internet or email. I can ping my other computer(using local term window), the one I set as the dhcp server, leaving the IP address static on it. I'm using it to send this mail so it seems to be working OK as far as Internet connectivity is concerned. #2 I though to my self, OK, if need be I'll set up SAMBA and use KOMBA2 to browse with. Well, Komba sees the share but as soon as it opens the file browser it closes it right back down. This doesn't happen browsing a Corel Linux system I have set up as a file server, Komba works OK. So as it stands right now, I don't have either Internet connection sharing or ANY kind of network that I can use. My goal: 1: Intenert connection sharing over a 5 computer network(IP range from 192.168.0.1 up, originally set up static on 192.168.10.x up). 2: NFS networking between all of the 5 computers (all running MDK 8.1 except the Corel1.2 file server) The system I want as a gateway machine is an Athalon 1.2Ghz, 512Mb RAM and a good 56K/bps modem. NIC is LinkSys 10/100 PCI, no problem with it. I have a 3Com 10/100 12 port hub and a LinkSys switch being used as a hub to extend the distance of my short cables. Overall length is under 50 feet. So, in total I need help figuring out how undo whatever the Wizard did OR get it configured right so I will have a usable network again.

On the gateway machine, the one attached to the internet, is the router? Whatever address this network card, the one that is connected to the hub will be the gateway for all the other computers. So on the other computers simple point then to this address as the gateway. Say the address of the router is 192.1268.1.1, then this is the address of the gateway that they would point to. Also on the computer use as the router gateway insure that /etc/sysconfig/network has NETWORKING=yes and FORWARD_IP4=true. You may wish to add the other computers address and names in the /etc/hosts file. As for Komba2 you might try adding under the setting configure the range of ip's to scan. You may need to set the passwords up first. Also try pinging from and to each machine. Larry -- Sword'sEdge VoiceMail/Fax: (858) 860-6406 x1587 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

To answer your original question: I am not aware of a way in MCC to add NFS control. Nor is there a way to do NIS configuration, DNS configuration, Sendmail (or postfix) configuration, nor add user accounts, or samba configuration, etc... I think MCC is a good begining on a systems administration tool, but it has a way to go. Much is missing from it so far. But as I understand it, MCC is a work in progress, and new features are being added all the time (but then I cannot speak for the folks at Mandrake as to what they consider suitable content for MCC).

Thanks, J. Craig Woods UNIX/NT SA -Art is the illusion of spontaneity- OK, but the original question was never answered. AND it IS about Mandrake, and using Mandrake with the tools provided. While reading the Experts List I see many refernces to the MCC, so people are using the tools (including some of the staff). Mainly I was asking if something had been forgotten in the MCC for the Network Setup Wizard.. If not, what did I miss?? I just went through it again and still see no way to complete the network by mounting other file systems or exporting this one. I need to have some confidence in the MCC if I'm to set up different things like DSL, ISDN Networking etc. To try to configure all the areas by hand is niether time nor cost effective on a service call @$50.00 per hr. Things are also changing in the way the config files are stored/read, an example would be the resolve.conf, one under /etc and one in /etc/ppp, OK, which one should be used?? I suppose at home I could (and did) try each one to figure out which got read first but in the field it's not my time I'm wasting. I'm not trying to start a flame war, I just want to know the Mandrake release I use better. -- Ken Thompson, North West Antique Autos Payette, Idaho Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.nwaa.com Sales and brokering of antique autos and parts.

After trying it all once again I ended up swapping out an old WD card from another machine and yes IT ALL started to work!!! However swapping out the old vibra 16 sound card for an old but trusty SB 32 AWE card saw the network go unreachable again, which led me to the hint by civileme re: sound card IRQ.

[expert] network problems with kernel 2.4.16
Hi everybody, After succesfully installing Mandrake 8.1 on my PII 333MHz, and checking everything was running allright (network included), I decided to download kernel 2.4.16 sources for compiling it on my own.

RE: [expert] Network problem
try typing in as root route add -host 192.168.0.1 eth0 on the notebook, check the routing table and netmask on each machine. if the netmask s wrong you can get some very strange effects. you can check if this is the problem by changing the ip address of the notebook , say to 10.0.1.2 put a route in from the main pc route add -host 10.0.1.2 ethx where x is the port linked to the notebook. and on the note book route add -host 192.168.0.1 eth0 flush out any other routing just to test everything. If that works in both directions , change back to the domain of your choice and look very carefully at the netmasks on both machines. you can delete unwanted routes from the command line route del -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 eth1, thats just an example , again make sure the netmasks are correct. if you check everything out from the console command line , none of the permant routing will be lost, just what you type in , if you reboot HTH richard -Original Message- From: Wolfgang Bornath [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 4:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] Network problem Am Dienstag, 27.

The above indicates that my LinkSys firewall (192.168.1.1) responds to net broadcasts; but not wire broadcasts. The point is that these will try to elicit a response from everyone on the wire, including self. If these pings don't work, then you'll have to figure out what is wrong physically (cable, NICs, IRQs, IOs, ...) before proceeding. If you get responses to these broadcast pings, then do: /sbin/arp -a on both machines. Should look something like this: $ /sbin/arp -a r41 (192.168.1.1) at 00:20:78:C9:E1:1A [ether] on eth0 homer (192.168.1.102) at 08:00:5A:38:6C:1B [ether] on eth0 woody (192.168.1.101) at 00:01:02:E8:D7:9F [ether] on eth0 ^ (MAC address) Make sure the hardware MAC addresses match what the other machine's ifconfig is telling you. I don't expect this to be a problem; but I'd hate to see you chase this for days only to find a bad NIC card which can only be checked from an adjacent machine (what the system *thinks* it's sending vs what actually goes out over the wire).

Re: [expert] Network problem
hello wolfgang! I've been reading your posts about your network for a few days... great problem! that is one of these that we write on the notepad to never forget what we did :-) let's go... since arp -a gives nothing, then you have no connection, but each piece in your setup (cross-cable, notebook's nic, desktop's nic) works ok when used with the adsl (your Internet connection is trough an adsl, as I remember) or when tested with other computer I have just one opinion: by means of some power of darkness, when you connect both nics trough the cross-cable you are are shutting the electrical signals to a very low level, that isn't enough to keep the network connection. this don't happen with the adsl box... and probably wouldn't happen with a switch or a hub... why this happen? probably the notebook's nic is of poor quality... or you just run out of luck :-) orlando Wolfgang Bornath wrote: Am Dienstag, 27.
