 Posted: Fri Apr 15, 2005 8:21 pm Post subject: ALi Chipset Network Problem |
 |
|
I am a fairly experienced x86 linux user and I recently upgraded to an x86-64. I decided to try gentoo since my disribution of choice (Slackware) doesn't have an x86-64 version out yet. I booted off the universal install cd for x86-64 and checked my network configuration. ifconfig shows eth0 fine. I have a static IP, so I configured the following using net-setup:
IP: 10.0.0.245
Broadcast: 10.0.1.255 ---> Also tried 10.0.0.255
Netmask: 255.0.0.0
Gateway: 10.0.2.1
DNS: 90.0.2.1
I have an Asrock Combo-Z motherboard which has a ULi LAN chip. ifconfig again shows the interface as up and with the appropriate IP address, netmask, broadcast address, etc. route also shows correct information. However, I can't access the internet. I can't even ping the gateway. I can however ping both localhost (duh!) and the broadcast address (either one) fine. Just in case net-setup was missing something, I even used ifconfig and route to manually configure the network (even though I was sure that net-setup was fine). Please help!
Thanks in advance,

Hey cgkanchi,
Edit /etc/conf.d/net
| Code: |
# /etc/conf.d/net:
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/conf.d/net,v 1.7 2002/11/18 19:39:22 azarah Exp $
# Global config file for net.* rc-scripts
# This is basically the ifconfig argument without the ifconfig $iface
#
iface_eth0="10.0.0.245 broadcast 10.255.255.255 netmask 255.0.0.0"
gateway="eth0/10.0.2.1"
|
edit /etc resolv.conf for the DNS
| Code: |
nameserver 90.0.2.1
|
I believe your broadcast should be 10.255.255.255 since your net is 10.0.0.0/8 and broadcast is always the last ip.
Now restart the interface with /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start and add it to default runlevel to start auto next time you boot.
This is achieved with rc-update add net.eth0 default.
Then check your ipsettings with ifconfig and check connectivity.
Thank you for choosing gentoo.

OK, this didn't work either. However, I've seen that a lot of people are having problems with this chipset and it seems to clear up once gentoo is installed. However, since I can't download the kernel, I have to use the one in distfiles. Could someone guide me through using emerge in a networkless environment?
Cheers,
