 Posted: Sat Aug 13, 2005 9:38 pm Post subject: network problems on first install |
 |
|
This is my first install of gentoo linux. I am currently running suSE/ windows dual boot. I am trying to in install amd64 gentoo/windows dual boot.
my problem is this. When trying to set up the network, I cannot seem to get "ping -c 3 www.yahoo.com" to work. I get the following output:
ping: unknown host www.yahoo.com
some other information.
ifconfig: gives what seems to be correct output according to install handbook.
dhcpdc eth0 --> "no link during initialization"
resolv.conf --> "domain gentoo" is the only entry
I have even tryed net-setup and manual entry of ip address
nothing works, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
John |

there are a few things that you may be able to do to get your network running:
First, try loading the modules for your network card, whether it's onboard or not.
| Code: | | # modprobe driver-name |
for instance, for me, i would have to do:
, since i'm using the tulip drivers.
Second, if you changed your computer and hench changed to a different hardware address/network card, you may have to reset your modem so it reads the new hardware address. Just try unpluggin the power cable to the modem for 10 seconds and plugging it back in...
Third, on my motherboard i have 2 onboard network cards (for some reason) so you may want to try
or
hope this helps, first option is most likely though....
Oh, in your post you typed,
it's actually "dhcpcd".
in ifconfig you want to look for two words among the others, "UP" and "RUNNING" this means your internet is working
assuming you have dhcp

I've tried everything you wrote above with no luck. The most prevailing message I get is:
" eth0 no link during installation"
I think your right the driver is in correct but I'm not sure which one to uses. My network card is Marvell 88E8053, which is the MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum SLI on-board net card.
thanks for your help.

| Run ifconfig -a, perhaps your system has several network cards and you're trying to use one that isn't hooked up? |
