Tried it with the: stop and then start option, still no luck I get an error saying: cannot bring up eth0, I have to reboot Any suggestions to get rid of this problem ? - Hanan AL-Shargi === As root, try /sbin/ifup eth0 Mike -- He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you., he really is an idiot. -Groucho Marx _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re:[newbie] network restart after suspend
well... I dont connect through DHCP, my machine is given a static internal IP ( 10.0.0.xx) so i guess i'm not connected directly to the internet i'm connected through the building's gateway ( all appartments in the building connect to one network and then connect to the internet through a gateway sort of like an internal ISP) and no I cannot ping anything after coming out of suspend, I try to ping any thing(ping my own machin, the gateway...etc. ) and I get a : netwrok unreachable. after I do a : service network restart I get the following : Disabling IPv4 packet forwarding [OK] Setting network parameters[OK] Bringing up interface lo: [OK] Enabling IPv4 packet forwarding [OK] bringing up interface eth0: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device Failed to bring up eth0. ? what could be the problem in this case ? I cant slide in another NIC I odnt keep collections of NIC's ():-) Regards to ALL. - Hanan AL-Shargi Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Without knowing which Inspiron and which NIC you're running, everything is a stab in the dark. Try disabling your BIOS's APM settings. If that doesn't work, turn them back on and disable Mandrake's APM. If that doesn't work, tell us exactly which model of Inspiron you're using along with the make and model of your PCMCIA nic.

Do you connect via DHCP or with a static IP? If DHCP, check to see what your lease time is -- you may have to re-up the dhcp client. If static, you may have other problems. Can you ping your own interface after coming out of suspend? Maybe you've got a hardware problem. You might have to try swapping in another NIC as a test. - C Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
