RE: [newbie] Linksys router.
hmm... all I can tell you is first make sure that the machine is setup for DHCP. If it is, then remove the router from between the machine and the internet and see if you can get an ip address that way. If all else fails give the machine an ip address and tell it were the router is that hopefully should work... I've had really screwy problems with individual machines. For example, I had originally install a netgear card and for some bizarre reason would not get an ip address from my linksys router, I pulled my linksys card out of my other machine and tried it in the linux machine and it worked great. So I borrowed a 3com card and tried that and it worked great too... I don't get why the netgear card was giving me such a hard time. -Original Message- From: nathan wainwright [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, September 09, 2001 11:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Linksys router. anyone that has installed slackware over nfs... how would i get a router to give the machine a ip address? my linksys router (which i did get runnniing... but i had to take that one back because of bad noises) will NOT give the machine that i want to install slackware to over nfs... a ip address... i tried powering down the router... changing cables... the cables are all fine... and i know the nic card works... and the router is brand new.? what am i doing wrong? -- nathan _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] Linksys router.
the main problem i have is that i am using a installer disk, (slackware bare.i boot disk, color.z root disk, network addon disk for drivers) its doesnt have dhcp (for some reason... they FORGOT to add the crap for doing dhcp on the installer disks... )and if i dont have dhcp how do i do nfs? some days i want to strangle some programmers (even tho iam one) so to put it short... how would i setup the slackware installer to manually give it a ip address? (remember this installer has pretty much net stacking all for stuff) -- nathan From: Mark Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] Linksys router.

Re: [newbie] Linksys router.
yes my main machine connects no prob, both mandrake linux, and windows have no problem connecting to the net okay the slackware that i am using is JUST A INSTALLER... nothing full just three disks loaded into ram... the problem i have is trying to get a ip address assigned to that machine. and seeing as it didnt work on my main machine... i think it would be the router, the nic card in both my machines work fine. ill try a static config... hope it works, but im not thinking it will -- nathan _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Linksys router.
Can you get connectivity to the internet with any machine or just the slackware? You might want to go into the router config (software based) and turn off DHCP and test a static IP config. If you get connectivity via a static IP address then the problem is most likely not the router. The linksys routhers i am familiar with will accept a DCHP assignment from your ISP via the WAN link and and the LAN links stay seperate. Lan links can be DHCP or Static and it has no affect on the WAN link to your ISP.

anyone that has installed slackware over nfs... how would i get a router to give the machine a ip address? my linksys router (which i did get runnniing... but i had to take that one back because of bad noises) will NOT give the machine that i want to install slackware to over nfs... a ip address... i tried powering down the router... changing cables... the cables are all fine... and i know the nic card works... and the router is brand new.? what am i doing wrong? -- nathan _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
