RE: [newbie] madrake 9.1 network problems
Well, everything works alright now :) I boot mandrake with noapic, and acpi=off, and now everything works.

Anyways, thanks in advance, Nathan DId you logon to your router and adjust things there? I've got a Dlink router and it let me assign the range of IP addresses to be used for my 3 comp LAN. I'm using DHCP here and it works fine. Did you check and make sure that the firewall was not activated by default. You can check it in MCC. (Mandrake Control Center). Look at securityand then firewall if firewall shows that it is running check the box for allow everything, and then see if you can access. If you get on the internet, then I believe you can go back and uncheck the allow everything and the firewall will come back up but now it should not block access. HTH Dennis M.

[newbie] madrake 9.1 network problems
Hi all, Ive just installed mandrake 9.1 as a dual boot system with windows 2000. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-8smilh, with onboard lan (realtek chipset RTL8101L). Mandrake works fine with everything except for LAN. I have a link light on the rj45 socket, so everything seems alright there.

It's not the router that's the problem.

RE: [newbie] madrake 9.1 network problems
I forgot to mention, but the network is setup up as an active directory (microsoft) domain.

RE: [newbie] madrake 9.1 network problems
Well, I have followed ur advice, Derek. This is now the result of running the ifconfig command: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:ED:69:AB:33 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:17 Base address:0x4000 eth0:9Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:ED:69:AB:33 inet addr:169.254.233.128 Bcast:169.254.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:17 Base address:0x4000 loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:151 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:151 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:11134 (10.8 Kb) TX bytes:11134 (10.8 Kb) When I try and ping an ip address, I receive the error message connect: Network is unreachable which is perfectly reasonable, seeing as how I don't seem to have an ip address. Also, another thing - the interrupt is here listed as 17, whereas on startup (before lilo), the network interface is listed as being irq 11, which I imagine would have a bearing on the matter.
