ETH0 network problem(3C900B-COMBO)

RickDB

I just compiled(1.4_rc1) stage3 t.bird and finally it works

But eth0 does not work, i compiled my 3c900 into the kernel(with make menuconfig etc..)
And edited the etc/conf.d/net , i do not use dhcp and my gateway is 192.168.0.1 my gentoo's pc ip is 192.168.0.5.
And the host is 192.168.0.1 also.
Can someone maybe post how i need to configure /etc/conf.d/net and etc/hosts?

Thx in advance

How does it not work? Could you post the log messages about it? And also the net file?

Have you started network? (/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start)

Don't forget to set your hostname. Don't forget to edit your resolv.conf. Don't forget to eat your breakfast

I am working on to exporting the logs(no luck yet), when i run 'emerge lynx' it says:
blablabla
failed to reach network, could not resolve host :evil:

.

I will try the init.d and see if that fixes it

Have you even tried to start network with /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start ????
ifconfig -a will list the enabled interfaces.

Yes i have tried this it said: eth0 is already active
I copied a backup of my /etc/conf.d/net and restored the orginal now it just says host not found.
I think i need to configure the /etc/conf.d/net somehow but i can understand ip netmask and gateway etc.. only what does the alliases do ?

I am a bit of a (gentoo) linux n0ob i understand some but not all, i edited my hosts file and resolv.conf and they are fine(i think).

hosts file =
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 Wim

/etc/conf.d/net =
iface_eth0="192.168.0.5 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway="eth0/192.168.0.1"

resolv.conf =
nameserver 192.168.0.1

acording to ifconfig -a my network card is working fine (looked at code listing 10 and UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST is the same)

Edit: i just got an system error at the host Windows 2000 pro, it gave a ip adress conflict my ip was the same as his(192.168.0.1)appearently.
But according to /etc/conf.d/net its 192.168.0.5, and when i try 'emerge xmms' at gentoo it gives the error network is unreachable retrying

Can you ping other hosts by using their IPs?

Like

No i don't think there is a nameserver at the host, but with the livecd the network worked just fine i typed net-setup: my ip, netmask, gateway and dns and it worked fine.
Plus in the windowsxp that i use the nameserver and gateway settings and they work(i got inet and network and all).
I will go back to linux and try to ping and see what happens.

Ping 192.168.0.1

64 octests from 192.168.0.1 icmp_sq=1 TTL=128 Time=0.4ms

The ping time is always the same always 0.4 ms

I will check if the " is in the /etc/conf.d/net.

OK, now I think your problems is resolv.conf. Put the IPs of your DNS server there, not the gateway IP.

Hmm my network is like this:

first router-----------> 138.*.*.*
then host ------------> 192.168.0.1 (with blackice defender intrusion defender but my ip is added, i can see the dns port prob from my pc but when i accept it then it does not work, host not found)
then to a network hub

I also think think its the resolv.conf because if i change:

nameserver

to

nameserver 192.168.0.1

it says network unreachable instead of host not found.
How can i find out my dns server, i mean at the windows pc's i just type 192.168.0.1 for dns server and then they work

This is really confusing because it looks like settings are correct but it either does not connect or says host not found

do you have traceroute installed in your system? Try to trace the route to some hosts outside your network using both IP and host names to see what happens.

RickDB · Posted: Sun Sep 22, 2002 9:06 am Post subject:

Hmm i don't have any traceroute programs on my pc, but when i boot with the livecd and type net-netup it setups my network(of course).
And when i go into my gentoo kernel(chroot, bin/bash) then network works just fine.
So i can emerge and dl stuff but only when i boot with the cd and run net-setup

, and go back to to my gentoo partition(chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash etc..)
So i dunno if that gives you any clues of how to fix this, but i think its pretty weird that with the cd it works and without the cd it doesn't.

ps: can't i install the net-setup(that one on the livecd) in the gentoo partition ?
