Eth0 failed after istalation, HELP [SOLVED]

microtechno · Posted: Mon Apr 24, 2006 1:25 pm Post subject:

do you mean that i should change the domain name to 'wilson.local' for all the computers on the network or only the linux one?
also how would you go about doing that?

jmbsvicetto · Posted: Mon Apr 24, 2006 1:43 pm Post subject:

You should use a consistent and valid domain name for all your systems. If you don't like wilson.local, you might choose to use wilson.org or, preferably, wilson.example.org. Windows might not care about DNS conformance, but Linux is much more picky about that.
You can change the domain in Gentoo by editing /etc/conf.d/domainname. However, you can define that in the settings of your DHCP server page - this way all systems, including Windows, will use it. If you prefer to set your domain name in Gentoo using this last method, be sure to read the comment on the override parameter of /etc/conf.d/domainname.

where is the overide information.
also is the domain that you are talking about the name of the network domain or the internet domain? because 'wilson' is the net domain.
i am a tad confused.

i belive
edit
I just changed the domain to 'wilson.local' on the router 'dhcp server' and then stoped and restarted the eth0. it sat on the 'dhcpcd' line for a minute or two then stoped. [!!] was the result not [ok]
this was the same after i chaged the domain on the linux comp, in the file you sugested.

Yes, Windows/SMB workgroup is not the same as DNS domain name. You may use wilson as your workgroup and wilson.example.org as you DNS domain name.
If you want to set your configuration by hand in Linux, use the following for /etc/conf.d/domainname

There seems to be something wrong with your network or nic. Do you have a DHCP server on your network? Is it working? Have you tried using a manual configuration for your nic? That might help.

the dhcp is running of our router/switch adsl that is. It works fine for all out other computers runnin windows. I have found though that if i setup the ip addresses manualy that the network fails. but that is because of a sharing issue with the ip addresses i now understand.
I will try with the static ips, following the instructions in the gentoo 2006.0 installation manual/book.
thanks

I have tried to make it work. by setting the IP's static on the linux computer.
this is getting me really annoyed because it works for a while then stops. it might be the router, a d-link thing because i often have trouble with it. my isp says that the problem is the line provider.
but that doesnt affect the connection between the linux and router. it will ping and then stop.
i changed the domain name on the router 'dhcp' to wilson.local.net' is that ok?
i was hoping to get the coputer up and running with apache so that i could learn to make php websites but it has taken me 2+ months from the day that i started with redhat 7 only to be told that it was old!!
please help.

Well, when you know you've configured your network and kernel properly, you can try the following:

I don't use ftpd, but anyway I can't see how it should affect apache. However, check if you have a .htaccess file under /var/www/localhost/htdocs.
This is getting a bit off-topic, so if you feel like, you can ask an admin/moderator to split these last posts from the thread and create a new one.
