 Posted: Fri Jan 05, 2007 10:56 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] No network on startup |
 |
|
Hello!
When I boot my Gentoo linux I have no network connection. To get a network connection I have to type
rm /var/run/dhcpcd-eth0.pid
dhcpcd eth0
Then I can surf onto the internet. I added net.eth0 to runlevel default but it didn't help.
How can I solve this problem, as it is really annoying.
MfG rob

in /etc/conf.d/net set
| Code: | config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis" |

Thank you for your answer!
These two options were set in my conf.d/net but they seem not to work.
This is all I do on startup to get a network connection:
| Quote: |
rob@roblab ~ $ su
Password:
roblab rob # dhcpcd eth0
**** dhcpcd: already running
**** dhcpcd: if not then delete /var/run/dhcpcd-eth0.pid file
roblab rob # rm /var/run/dhcpcd-eth0.pid
roblab rob # dhcpcd eth0
Error, dhcpConfig: ioctl SIOCADDRT: File exists
roblab rob # |
Thank you for your help!
Best Regards rob |

Doesn't help. The only thing which changed ist, that I only have to type
dhcpcd eth0
without the remove cmd and I also get no error messages anymore.
but the network doesn't work .. 
What else can I do?

when you boot your gentoo, what is the error? Anything as "netmount not started"?
edit:
coldplug is deprecated,you use udev..
try | Code: |
emerge -C coldplug
echo "sys-fs/udev" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge udev
emerge -uD baselayout
etc-update |

Oh..... there is an error ... I just didn't see it because kdm started up so quickly....  Sorry!
The error is
| Quote: |
dhcp
No DHCP client installed
ERROR: Problem starting needed service net.eth0
netmount was not started |
How can I fix this problem? rc-update add netmount default?

oh man. now nothing works at all!
I am typing this text using windows, because I can't get network to work at all.
When I type dhcpcd eth0 it tells me that eth0 is no valid ethernet connection and my x server also doesn't start anymore ...
Thank you for any help!

look at here for xdm.
Udev, sometime, change your name network interface, you have to see the output of in this way you know new name associated to it.

Hello!
Thanks for the help!!!!!!!
I already fixed the xdm problem, there were also some other config files (keymaps, timezone ...) to change as etc-update completely changed my config files.
I have to reboot to get ifconfig -a, I'll be back soon... 
EDIT:
It works!!!!! The device name now is eth1!
You are great!!! Thank you soooo much!!
Thanks a lot!!!! 
PS: Writing from the linux box now 
Best Regards rob |
