Hi,

Ima trying to get the network working on my proliant 1850R. I think that the correct driver for the network card is tlan, the card is something like Compaq Netelligent 10/100 TX UTP. Iam using a genkernel and the driver does not get loaded automatically, i have to put it in /etc/modules.autload.d/kernel-2.6.
When i try to ping ipnumbers/hostnames i get: network unreachable.
I also tried the following:
Code:
ifconfig eth0 down
iconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx up
route add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
SIOCADDRT: network unreachable
I have also tried to add alias eth0 tlan to the file that modules-update reads in. Any suggestions? Compile tlan in to the kernel, hope not genkernel takes soooo long time.

The question has nothing to do with DNS.

Clearly. But I believe the author's reasoning is sound and the concept is valid and applicable to this and most other scenarios where IP information may be needed to analyze a problem.

Your network and your gateway are on different subnets.
