 Posted: Wed Dec 08, 2004 6:36 pm Post subject: Unable to ping anyone besides localhost....? |
 |
|
I just started installing gentoo on my new amd 64 box. It has the gigabyte K8NS-pro (nforce3 250 chipset,) and the network adapter (wich is onboard) is a marvell yukon rj-45. Im using the sk98lin module that i found out i needed earlier today. After runing net-setup sucessfully, ifconfig looks ok, and i can ping myself, but it says "destination host not available" when i try and ping anyone else on our LAN. The routing table looks fine. Any ideas?
Thanks,
--Peter

UP BROADCAST 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:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:19 Memory:fb000000-0 |

Have you deleted this line?
| Code: | | inet addr:82.76.25.11 Bcast:82.76.25.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 |
Yes it may be IRQ 19. That's not a problem. To check all the IRQ's you can
| Code: | | cat /proc/interrupts |

heres my routing table:
| Code: | Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.10.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 10.10.10.53 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
|
You're right, i skipped
| Code: | | inet addr:10.10.10.13 Bcast:10.10.10.255 Mask255.255.255.0 |
with 10.10.10.* being computers on our lan, 10.10.10.13 being me, and 10.10.10.53 as router (as you can probably tell  ).
Thanks,
--Peter

Try
The interrupts part doesn't interest me directly, I told you where to look because you wondered about the IRQ.

You can play with 'mii-tool' also, to see if it has some effect.

Why don't you loose net-setup and try to configure your network manually. If you don't have an internet link, a simple 'ifconfig' would be enough.

Hello everyone!
I, too, am having the same problem with my Marvell Yukon Gigabit adapter.
The strange part is that it worked just fine off the LiveCD, as soon as I got 'modprobe' to load the 'sk98lin' driver. It even worked once I chrooted into my host system. However, upon each subsequent reboot, my internet connection is 'dead'.
Here are the contents of anything that might help:
| Code: | ifconfig eth0:
eth0
Link encap: UNSPEC HWaddr 00-30-1B-B5-00-00-62-8D-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet addr:192.168.1.3 Bcast: 192.168.1.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU: 1500 Metric: 1
RX packets: 0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets: 24 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes: 0 (0.0b) TX bytes:864 (864.0 bytes) |
| Code: | lspci:
0000:02:08:0 Ethernet Controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev13) |
| Code: | /etc/resolv.conf:
domain workgroup
nameserver 206.47.244.79
nameserver 206.47.244.13
(MY ISP's nameservers, which ARE in fact correct.) |
| Code: | /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.4 manji.workgroup manji
192.168.1.3 linuxbox.workgroup linuxbox |
| Code: | /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6:
sk98lin |
| Code: | /etc/conf.d/net:
iface_eth0="192.168.1.3 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
gateway="eth0/192.168.1.1" |
If there is any pertinent file I've left out, please let me know. Any course of action would be greatly appreciated, as I've had no problems getting this adapter working on several other distributions (I'm no newbie to *Nix systems).... not to mention, like I said when booting from the LiveCD. |

I've never seen an address like this
| Code: | | Link encap: UNSPEC HWaddr 00-30-1B-B5-00-00-62-8D-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 |
How did you configured your NIC ?

Actually.... now that you mention it, that is bloody long for a MAC address.... seeing as they are supposed to be 6 fields.
As for the configuration, it was all done manually, using ifconfig, as per the Gentoo Installation Handbook.
Any idea why Gentoo would go wonky on my MAC address like that?
On top of that... why does it have that "UNSPEC" field in there? As far as I know, that's not normal either. |

I really don't know , but you could try net-analyzer/macchanger to set a decent MAC address.

| This is all well and good, except Gentoo doesn't come with macchanger installed by default, and as I have no working network connection, I'm finding it a little hard to install it >_<. |

Hmm.... this is quite the interesting dilemma, isn't it?
I guess what I must ask is how one would go about ensuring that my configuration is as close to the LiveCD as possible (as I'm writing this in Links2 off of the CD, and networking runs like a charm).
For argument's sake, is there any harm in copying the configuration files straight off the CD into my /etc and see what that does? |

You're right, I didn't thought of. Though there is some simple way to do that:
| Code: | /sbin/ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:00
or
> /sbin/ip link set eth1 down
> /sbin/ip link set eth1 address 00:11:22:33:44:55
> /sbin/ip link set eth1 up |

No offense, but PLEASE if you're going to try to help us out at least post valid Linux commands.
None of the stuff you gave me to try in your last post worked  . The commands all returned an error for invalid arguments. |

I just tryied again all the commands I gave you an they works like charm, believe me. In fact, if you search google for 'change mac address ifconfig' or 'chance mac address ip' it will give you the same thing I told you.
N.B. 'ip' is part of the iproute packet and you may need to install it before using it.
