This should be correct if you are using DHCP, but it never hurts to check some basics: - does /etc/resolv.conf list correct DNS-servers? - can you ping machines via IP addres instead of host name? - does 'route' list a default gateway? Perhaps /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop removed the default gateway. Maybe it works if you reverse the order... first stop eth0, than start eth1? -- "Codito ergo sum" Roel Schroeven -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'm using DHCP, yes. I added this line to /etc/conf.d/net: iface_eth1="dhcp" Eric Heller.

RE: [gentoo-user] wireless network issues
Not sure why Firebird would work and nothing else. But do you have your DNS servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf or are you using DHCP? - Brent > -Original Message- > From: eric heller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 6:42 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [gentoo-user] wireless network issues > > > Hi! > > I recently read on slashdot about a great little program that > emulates certain windows wireless network card drivers, > called driverloader (see www.linuxant.com).

[gentoo-user] wireless network issues
Hi! I recently read on slashdot about a great little program that emulates certain windows wireless network card drivers, called driverloader (see www.linuxant.com). I was especially glad to hear about this because it supports my Intel Centrino PRO/Wireless mini-pci card (for which there are currently no real linux drivers, at least not to my knowledge). Anway, I got driverloader working, and things seem to be working on some level. I got eth1 to run and it's even correctly connecting to my wireless network. I disconnected by ethernet cable, stopped eth0, and then fired up MozillaFirebird. To my delight, everything seemed to be working great! But then I fired up evolution, and it was unable to resolve the address of my pop email server. I thought, what the heck? So I went to my command line and tried to ping the address. Ping returned nothing. So I tried www.yahoo.com. Still nothing. It seems that the only program that can actually resolve host names is MozillaFirebird, and nothing else. Any ideas why this may be? Is there something I need to do to get eth1 setup right? Here's what I did: 1 ln -s /etc/init.d/net.eth0 /etc/init.d/net.eth1 2 rc-update add net.eth1 default 3 edited /etc/conf.d/net to include the line: iface_eth1="dhcp" 4 /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start And it started up with no errors. 5 /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop But like I said, only MozillaFirebird seems to be able to establish any kind of connection. It may likely be a problem with driverloader, and if it is, then I'll try out their user list, but I'm still not very familiar with gentoo, and I just wondered if there's a step I missed in configuring eth1 to work right. Do I need to somehow "tell" all my programs that they need to use eth1 instead of eth0? Any ideas? Thanks! Eric Heller. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
