No Internet HELP!!

chickengenius · n00b Joined: 18 Apr 2005 Posts: 56

I had internet all the way through install until I rebooted. I tried everything the handbook references. It cant be that freakin hard, I have comcast and everything is dhcp. Please help. From my point of view it seems to be a dns issue because I can't ping anything "cant resolve name www.yahoo.com". What should be enabled where and what should be disabled in what *.conf files?

Hi chickengenius!

What kind of connection do you have? ADSL or are you part of a LAN? Post your /etc/conf.d/net with the comments striped, please.

Regards, Cantão!

After booting the live cd I noticed that it does something my kernel doesn't and thats actually try to obtain an address from dhcp and bring up eth0. Anyone know why my kernel or module or whatever is not trying to get an address?

I have a similar problem, but I think I've tracked it down to eth0 just plain not existing.

Can you

You probably haven't got the module for your ethernet card loaded. For some reason, this is not included in the install handbook steps - at least it wasn't when I did it. You have to find out what module represents your card. A couple of common ones are tulip and forcedeth but yours might be different. The easiest way to find out is to boot from the livecd, go lsmod and write down all the modules that appear. One of them is your ethernet. When you reboot back into your install, go lsmod, see which are not loaded then load them in order with "modprobe module-name" where module-name is the name of the module, and see which one brings up internet (check with ifconfig). Once you've figured that out, put that module in /etc/modules.autoload.d/yourkernel.

im having exactly the same problem as the poster. comcast dhcp here too, but i don't think either of us configed conf.d/net

i just did but that made it worse, it doesn't even show up on ifconfig now.

i uncommented a line allowing dhcp and as well as a line setting the default gateway to 192.168.0.1

two things which should've fixed it and now i have nothing

yeah, it worked great on livecd

something i forgot to add, i have two network cards. one is onboard and busted and the main one is pcmcia and the one i'm using. livecd gives eth0 to the busted network card, but i never see it on ifconfig... although it still reserves the name. so my working network in livecd is always eth1.

anyway, lsmod reports this:

chickengenius · n00b Joined: 18 Apr 2005 Posts: 56

Damn it!! I am 99% sure that modprobe thing was my issue because my eth0 was plain not loading at all on bootup and was loading with the live cd. But do to nagging girlfriend about having no internet due to my gentoo setup for days on end I reloaded SUSE 9.2. I freakin hate how I can install nothing on suse do to all the dependency issues I run into at every turn. Now I have to start all over agian! sorry about the rant. :evil:

Akaroo · n00b Joined: 27 Apr 2005 Posts: 18

No, I don't think it is, but since I'm extremely new to the scene, I wouldn't know how to load the module anyway.

Akaroo · n00b Joined: 27 Apr 2005 Posts: 18

fixed it

Nothing is working, I tried all the modules from lsmod on LiveCD and used modprobe, but I get FATAL: Module so and so not found. Everything works but ethernet, my nic isnt even being detected, eth0. The list of modules that are currently running on my Gentoo box are
iptable_raw
ipt_NOTRACK
libcrc32c
phidgetservo
cytherm
touchkitusb
sata_sx4
sata_sis
ipr
s2io
dummy
intel_mch_agp
firmware_class
video

All I get when I ifconfig is my localhost or lo. I used stage3-i686 and manually configured kernel, I configured just like the manual for 2005.0 which is the distro im using. I even tried adding modules into /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6/ but it just says it could not load the modules, that I tried adding for eth0. It loads my default modules fine but not the ones from the LiveCD. HELP!!! : )
