aze Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 (edited) Hi all! I'm having a problem (in other pc) the network can't start. Then I go to drakconf / network and I configure the LAN (using default profile) but it do not save my changes (even as root) the network card is detected but the network isn't starting. I checked if the service is satrting on boot and everything is ok. what is happening? Edited December 28, 2003 by aze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 what happened if you type this command as root? ifconfig Possible solutions 1. Check your /etc/modules.conf to see if there is a line alias eth0 <name of driver> 2. Type ifup eth0 as root and see what is going on. 3. Check your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and see if it enabled onboot, what ip it uses, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonMage Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 Device or resource busy means that there is probably an irq conflict between your NIC card and whatever. If it is a PCI card, try moving it to another slot. If it is built-in then try moving whatever card that have in the slot to somewhere else. Incidentally, what is your network card and what driver does it use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aze Posted December 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 (edited) network card is Realtek 8139 in windows it is working normally. I think some package is missing at boot: failed to bring up eth0 Edited December 28, 2003 by aze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumbdude Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 k, i was able to solve it by setting network card at half duplex. Take a look at my thread in network section. Marked the thread Solved - Artificial Intelligence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
