Since you are saying that if you boot with Win on the linux hardware you can communicate, the possibility of any hardware and the physical part of the network problem is ruled out. The problem is definetly with Linux. I think it has nothing to do with routing also since they are on the same network 192.168.1.0 Hav you tried compiling the ethernet support not as a module.

Last night a Netscape froze GNOME so hard that I could only telnet in from another box and reboot the machine (not even killing the Netscape or X processes released the screen, which I found odd). Upon rebooting, networking is now toast. All local networking runs fine, eth0 comes up without error while running /etc/rc.d/inet.d/network start, but trying to telnet outside gives an immediate 'Host name lookup failure.' although eth0 *seems* to come up, running netstat -nr shows only the lo interface info. running ifconfig eth0 gives good info, except the broadcast info is wrong. However, trying to config that with: ifconfig eth0 broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx gives SIOCFIFFLAGS: resource temporarily unavailable I've also seen error messages with SIOCADDR in them. Anybody know what's going on? This happened completely out of the blue and it's the second time. (The first time I reinstalled after 2 solid days of hacking on --- I don't want to do that again.) thanks -- From: Tony Gr

Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 11:08:31 +0200 Christer Olsson a écrit : Hi, We are having a networking problem at our company (that is all Linux users). It seems like something has changed in the networking support (TCP/IP) in the newest kernels, 2.2.x, because we cannot get through our companys proxy server anymore. All users still using the 'old' 2.0.x kernels does not have this problem. Anyone experienced the same problem? Inside our own network (intranet) everything works fine with the 2.2.x kernels (rlogin, telnet, e-mail, netscape, arena, ftp, etc.). But not to the 'outside'. / Christer Hi ! Beware, this looks like a transparent firewall/gateway trouble : in old Linux Red-Hat 5.2 one had to use "ipfwadm" command to allow IP masquerading, but in new Linux Red-Hat 6.0 "ipfwadm" is no longer valid (it should'nt be installed at all) and must be replaced by "ipchains". So, I believe this is an incompatibility between old "ipfwadm" and new "ipchains", but it is too new for me to be sure of anything (some weeks old only).

This strikes me as bizarre, seeing that I did no configuration whatsoever, for the second card, which is the one to which my modem is connected ... :-| In addition, the box says SN2000, but I assume that it is an NE2000 compatible. I run ifconfig, and see the following: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:B4:9B:20:1C inet addr:192.68.0.1 Bcast:192.68.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:49 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0 Interrupt:10 Base address:0xd800 The second card isn't there, as you can see. So my question is: how do I enable that card at boot? Some drivers autodetect all cards of the same type (as you saw), and build the devices in sequence. I'd say the driver detected your cable-modem ethernet card and installed it as eth1. However, this does not mean that Linux knows how to get to eth1, just that it exists. You still have to ifconfig the eth1 device in order to get it to work. Your ISP might require you to use DHCP, in which case you'll have to do a little bit of research. I can ping to the inside of my LAN, but not to the outside, and I can't resolve hostnames either. I've read the NET-3 HOWTO, but the problem is that I can't pass parameters to LILO when I boot, as I don't use LILO: I boot from a diskette. I could install from scratch, and install LILO, but my system is running just the way I want it, including my girlfriend's thesis ... :-) Why don't I just type: dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/vmlinuz I hear you ask ... I tried: when I run LILO, it tells me the kernel is too big. Your suggestions would be welcome, as I have 2 Mb/s just waiting to be used here ... :-) Thanks. D.Coughlan.

Here's another post. I've got a laptop with a D-LINK DE-660 pcmcia network card. I've got RedHat 5.2 installed. I had this card working for a few hours one night about 2 weeks ago, but have not had any luck since. It works fine under Windows 98. I'm getting the following error: pcnet_reset_8390(): did not complete I'm getting to high-toned beeps, indicating a successful install. Anytime I reinstall Linux, I have to go in to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and add my hardware address to one of the lines, otherwise I get an error message about not being able to determine my Hardware Address. I've tried using the Card Services 3.05, 3.08, and 3.09. The 3.09 version is where I had luck a few weeks ago. Please help.
