Re: [newbie] eth0 won't initialize on startup

Re: [newbie] eth0 won't initialize on startup
Maybe I should qualify my previous statements. After boot, ifconfig indeed, shows that ETH0 is UP, however it does not get an IP address from the DHCP server. I have not yet tried it with a static IP address. In order for me to do any network communication, I must su to root and execute an 'ifup eth0' in order for it to get an ip address.

No, it's not a 3com card and it is definately plugged in. It may help to mention that this is a VM running under VMWare workstation. I have compiled and installed the VMWare drivers. Now that I think about it, could it be because the VMWare drivers don't load until after the NIC would initialize?

I would love to be able to change how my system starts up dependant on what kind of network I will be access (and also if I will be running off of battery or external power) Thanks, Job It is fairly easy. You can set create the profiles using MCC. In drakeconnect, the top line starts Profile: You can create new profiles there, as well as configure the profiles. You can also change the current profile there. If you are a command line person, like I am, all the profile information in stored in /etc/netprofile and the profiles subdirectory tree. The current profile is listed in current. Each profile in stored in its own subdirectory in /etc/netprofiles/profiles. the files tree contains the files that get changed when you change to that profile. The services tree contains the list of services that are run when that profile is active. You can remove services by deleting the file with the service name, or add services by creating an empty file with the service name. For example, to have the ssh server run, you would use the command touch sshd while in the services directory. To change profiles from the command line, you can use the set-netprofile command. The form is set-netprofile profile name. So,, to change to a profile called Static_IP, you would use set-netprofile Static_IP. The way I choose the profile to use at boot time was to create entries in /etc/lilo.conf for each profile. So I have entries like: image=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.22-36mdk label=Dynamic_IP root=/dev/hda3 read-only append=devfs=mount acpi=on PROFILE=Dynamic_IP initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.22-36mdk.img image=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.22-36mdk label=Static_IP root=/dev/hda3 read-only append=devfs=mount acpi=on PROFILE=Static_IP initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.22-36mdk.img You can copy the entry as many times as you need to, and just change the label and the PROFILE for each entry. The only drawback is that when you upgrade the kernel, you have to edit lilo.conf by hand so the profiles use the new kernel. One of these days, I am going to write a small script to be run at startup to ask what profile I want to use. I just have not gotten to it yet. One thing to remember - the changes you make to /etc/lilo.conf do not take affect until you run lilo as root.

[newbie] eth0 config
Hello all, I installed a command line tool called ethtool I was curious about what speed my nic was set at, its an onboard device SIS900 and I'm not sure where the configuration file is at. Anyways when I run the command ethtool eth0 it says... [root@avatar mike]# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: No data available but it shows me driver info... [root@avatar mike]# ethtool -i eth0 driver: sis900 version: v1.08.02 11/30/2001 firmware-version: bus-info: 00:03.0 I'm set up with my workstation connected to a hub which is connected to a firewall/gateway box which is connected to a modem. My hub I believe does 10mps, I picked up a used switch linskys 10/100mps I have 10/100 nics in both boxs. I would like to see the difference it makes, and learn about it. Like to be able to change and measure settings. Questions= Where in MDK is eth0 settings at? Has anyone used ethtool ? or is there a better tool?

I have an Intel Pro 10/100 card in my Mandrake 8.2 unit. When it boots it hangs and then tells me that the eth0 interface has failed. If I enter the following as root, manually, it comes up OK but dies each time the machine is shut down. There is a file that I can edit that will take care of this so that when the machine boots the eth0 interfacace will also be don.

Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Yep, you can find out by looking in several different places 1. /etc/modules.conf specific alias instructions will be here to assign drivers to eth0 and eth1 2. linuxconf=networking=host name and IP network devices= Adaptor 1 will be eth0 and Adaptor 2 will be eth1 Now to get them working, _very patiently_ try Mandrake Control Center. = Network and Internet. eth1 should be the one connected to your internet connection eth0 should be connected to your local network The reason for that is that Internet connection sharing is set up that way, with eth0 at 192.168.0.1 offering dhcp and forwarding nameservice to the rest of the local network. So if ever you plan to use the Mandrake box as the gateway and just want to use the wizard rather than doing the iptables setup yourself, then you will be ready to do so. Now the internet connection and network setup should work OK, but keep in mind that they are two different setups, and the tool sets one up as the internet access method. Two nameservers are allocated for internet and one for local net. More than three can cause problems. Now as to why they are not working now--there could be several reasons 1. ACPI enabled in the BIOS could have placed all the cards in your system on the same interrupt. 2. The KNE111TX uses the tulip driver so if you see de4x5 in the alias on modules.conf, change it to tulip. 3. The CNET Pro200WL has zero documentation as to the chipset it uses both on the CNETusa and CNET.tw sites and from Dell. Most likely the tech info from Dell would be the only one applicable as it is likely an OEM version of the card specifically made for Dell. I do see articles about difficulty getting the CNet to run with Win2K. Try removing the CNET from your system and detecting only the other ethernet card. If this works, then it is interference or a bad detection which cannot be corrected because no technical information on the chipset in use is available.

[newbie] eth0 insists on being default route, disabling PPP connection
Hello, I connect to the internet using a modem, and I also connect to our local network via ethernet. When I was installing LM-8 I did not want to set up the modem at the time, so I let the installer set up my ethernet card as internet connection. Later after the install was compleat, and I got around to setting up my modem I was able to dial-up my ISP and ping the host at the other end of the PPP link, but I could not reach any other sites on the net. When I checked the routing table I discovered that eth0 was set as the default route instead of ppp0. I assume this happened because I foolishly told the installer that I connect to the internet via eth0. I saw another post that explained that this problem could be corrected by opening Mandrake Control Center -- Network Internet then clicking on expert mode and removing the the modem and ethernet entries then re-creating the modem entry first under Internet Connection and then second add the ethernet card under LAN. This made sense, but I can not get it to work. First when I open Mandrake Control Center -- Network Internet the panel does not load, and I get an error message: The panel did not load in 15 seconds. Make sure it is installed. I found that the panel will load if I go into NetConfig and disable eth0 before I open Mandrake Control. Non the less I can not seem to remove the config for eth0, and no matter what I do eth0 always wants to be the default route. Note: I can get online by using the route command to delete the default route before I attempt to open a ppp connection. Also the ethernet card is working fine. I can ping addresses on the local network. Any idea how I can get this machine to forget my past mistakes? At this point I would like the computer to forget my ethernet card ever existed so I can just start over from scratch. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Have a great day. David Nelson -- Who's off to hit the trails on his MTB, and forget about eth0 for awhile.
Re: [newbie] eth0 won't start on boot... / [expert] Network weirdness
Are you sure the card itself came up? As root run ifconfig and look to see if it shows the card and it's interfaces are all up. Now having had to edit /etc/modules.conf to add all those entries, I had to add the alias and options for io as well. Did you install some new hardware about the time that these changes when through? I mean other then something like that, or some sort of configuration change, nothing should have caused a change there at all. But I guess if it's working now... then all is good huh? tdh -- T.

Mandrake hated the autosense option and kept treating the card as if it were a PCMCIA device. Good luck. Tony -- http://www.gemmell-mania.org.uk Want to buy a house in Stockon-on-Tees? £32,950?

[newbie] eth0 interface not working properly???
I have a Mandrake 7.0 system that I just set up, and I can't seem to get the eth0 interface to work. I believe I have it configured right with and ip, mask, etc. The only interface that comes up is l0. I have link lights on my hub and on the machine, any ideas where to start??? Thanks.

Re: [newbie] eth0 doesn't initialisesnip HardDrake Bug?
Well, that's a good question Is that a bug with HardDrake?? To check if HardDrake works fine, it would be cool to be able to validate the Hardware config using some other way...

RE: [newbie] eth0 initialitation failed
I also had trouble with my network card recently...turned out my problem was that it had somehow gained the IRQ and IO addresses of my soundcard.

[newbie] eth0 problem
Hi, I'm using a 3c509b card with my mediaone cable modem. I disabled the PnP and STILL can't see the network. I'm running DHCP and don't know what's wrong. IRQ 10 doesn't work so I set the card to IRQ 3 and still nothing. Any ideas? Also can anyone recommend a good FTP server app?
Re: [newbie] eth0 problem
I had the same problem. I had to disable the plug and play and then I had to re-enable it. One I did that, it still wouldn't see the network. So I set it up static and each time I boot into linux I have to become SU and type at the prompt "ifup eth0" This worked for me.

Try "dmesg" from a terminal window and it will show you what was loaded during boot. I use a tulip chip based card (DEC DC 21041) and it works well, the driver is: tulip.c:v0.89H 5/23/98 [EMAIL PROTECTED] eth0: Digital DC21041 Tulip at 0xe000, 21041 mode I am runnig Mandrake 6.1 Bye, Willy
Re: [newbie] eth0 transmit timed out error
Try this. Type locate tulip.c It should point towards /usr/src/linux-2.2.13/drivers/net/tulip.c which is the source file for the driver. If you look down a few lines into the code, you'll see the driver version. I have MDK 6.1 and it comes with tulip.c version 0.89H "Morrell, Mike" wrote: I have two other Win98 machines and a 10/100 hub all connected together with CAT5 cable.

Actualy i said v0.91 Beckers, current stable release. 0.91g is the development driver (which i haven't tested) The linux kernel version, is v0.89(h, i think) which has been shipping sense god knows when. -Original Message- From: John Aldrich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 1999 11:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] eth0 transmit timed out error On Tue, 26 Oct 1999, you wrote: Hi All, I just installed Mandrake 6.0 to try out this Linux OS.

Re: [newbie] eth0 dies after kernel upgrade

Originally I had to compile the driver into a mod file because the driver that came with the distrobution didn't work. Do I need to recompile this driver every time there is a kernel upgrade??? yes.

RE: [newbie] eth0
No, I can't. In Slackware we had a /etc/rc.d/rc.modules where -everything- about all modules are defined and commented out. From there you just uncomment the module you want and then define its IO/IRQ and it works. but... Mandrake doesn't contain this, if it does, I would love too see it. Due to the fact that I don't constantly work with Linux and the configuration once its actually working... I generally don't retain these things forever unless I'm supporting them for others constantly... I can however unfortunately walk anyone through a network/dialupnetworking setup for windoze without putting any thought into it because I do it every day... unfortunately.

Can't be that much different. Guys at my LUG helped me set mine up and they know nothing about Mandrake. They are Redhat, Slack, Suse and Caldera mix. Brian
