 |
|
I succesfully installed gentoo from bootstrap on a K6-2 350.
The ISA network card was recognised by modprobe at IRQ 5 io 0x260 and worked perfectly during the install as a NE.
But onces finished when I ping the gateway the ping returns HOST UNREACHABLE. The strangest thing is that I can do pings succesfully to other computers on my subnet, but not to the gateway, and of course to nothing out of my subnet. The gateway is ok and network functions correctly from the Live install CD.
The kernel I compiled has no ACPI, no APM and no APIC support. And in the bios all that options are disabled. |

Maybe you think this is a stupid question, but when you pinged your gateway, did you use his ip or his hostname?
Pinging to his hostname won't work when he's not in your /etc/hosts file.
Good luck!

Is it plugged in firmly? Both sides?
Give the results of these commands (run as su) for better help:
| Code: | route -n
arp -n
ifconfig -a
iptables -L -n |
Does arp contain an entry for your gateway? Including mac address?
Is your gw listed in route -n with flags UG and the right interface? You only have one default gw?
Is the interface's module loaded without error? (dmesg|grep -i ne2k-pci) -- or whatever the module is if not ne2k-pci, I haven't used these cards for awhile.
Are there any firewalling rules that interfere?
You can send the results of these commands to a file if necessary to save between bootup sessions to compare or share...
| Code: | | command 2>&1 >> /path/to/output.file |
