 Posted: Tue Sep 13, 2005 7:37 am Post subject: dhcpcd times out after a fresh install [SOLVED] |
 |
|
When booting off the installation CD my network works fine, but after I boot into my environment I get nothing. I have an onboard RealTek 8139 (its my only NIC); I load the 8139too module successfully and ifconfig shows the card. However, when bringing up eth0 with net.eth0, the dhcpcd times out. The contents of my /etc/conf.d/net are
The last few lines dmesg tells me are
| Code: |
eth0:Transmit timeout, status 0c 0005 c07f media 10.
eth0: Tx queue start entry 4 dirty entry 0.
eth0: Tx descriptor 0 is 0000a24e. (queue head)
eth0: Tx descriptor 1 is 0000a24e.
eth0: Tx descriptor 2 is 0000a24e.
eth0: Tx descriptor 3 is 0000a24e.
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1

I've read around the forums, trying what others have suggested, and nothing works. I'm at my wits end trying to solve this problem...

did you try
you could try this in /etc/conf.d/net
| Code: | nano -w /etc/conf.d/net
iface_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10" |
these are the settings i use..
You also might want to check nano -w /etc/hosts
Also i have been having issues with setting up my Hostname and my dnsdomainname for some reason after i boot into the system for the first time i have to reset up those... Just thought i would add that just incase
did you do rc-update add net.eth0 default..... |

Running "dhcpcd eth0" still times out.
With your /etc/conf.d/net, I still get no IP address. (It does, of course, timeout alot more quickly)
I have no problems setting my hostname and dnsdomainname.
Yes, I did add net.eth0 to my default runlevel.
Any other suggestions? |

| Ok, I just reconfigured my kernel with ACPI support, and my network works. I have NO clue why this worked, but I'm happy it did. |
