 Posted: Mon Nov 29, 2004 1:48 am Post subject: No network on 2004.3 amd64 livecd |
 |
|
I booted the amd64 livecd and started the install only to find that i had no internet. So i set out to find the problem, but from what i could see everything was set up perfectly fine. i have an nforce 250gb motherboard with onboard ethernet and i also have a 3com pci ethernet controller (that i had to get to install gentoo 2004.1).
here is where im at. on bootup eth0 was not auto detected. so i ran which worked fine and after that ifconfig gives me both the loopback and eth0 both of which seem to be setup properly. i used dhcp to autoconfigure eth0, and it got my information correct (ipaddress, broadcast, whatever). but i still cant ping anything. so i modprobe forcedeth (trying to use onboard network at this point), but it is already loaded, and eth0 still does nothing.
So i plug the cord into the 3com card and start over. the same thing happens. eth0 is set up perfectly, has correct information, and yet still i cant get any internet. i ran assuming it would get the internet going. After running it, ifconfig only saw the loopback device, not eth0. i was able to start eth0 with | Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start |
and it will detect it fine, but still no internet. Sorry, im in windows right now and so i cant give you the exact ifconfig returns.
So, i am at a loss as to how to fix this. The livecd refuses to allow me to have internet no matter what i try. Now i have no linux and am having to revive my windows skills to get me going.
Thanks for any help. |

I remeber another similar case with a guy with two NICs.
Suggestions:
(1) Try disabling the one on the mainboard if you can, then boot the LiveCD and try configuring the net as usual
(2) Figure out what exactly is yout net setup (e.g., while running Windows, with "ipconfig /all"):
IP-address=x.x.x.x
netmask=255.y.y.y
broadcast=z.z.z.z
default gateway: w.w.w.w
then run:
ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x netmask=255.y.y.y broadcast z.z.z.z"
route add default gw w.w.w.w
Hope this helps somewhat ... Good luck!

your nic is detected when you try ifconfig (alone without eth0)?
but try loading the livecd with gentoo noapic.

| I booted up with "gentoo noapic" and it did the trick. Thanks, you saved me from another day of using windows. |
