Lennart Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 (edited) Hi guys. I have a bit of a problem. Whenever I reboot into a different os my internet connection won't work. First boot no problem, every reboot that follows into whichever os: problem. When working in WinXP, before rebooting I do an ipconfig/release *kal* (may be language-specific), I reboot e.g. into Xandros and I have no problem. When rebooting back into Windows however: no internet connection. Is there a ipconfig /release equivalent for Linux if so: what is it? Is there another solution? I have adsl (router) and use dhcp. All tips/ideas/suggestions most welcome. Edited March 21, 2004 by Lennart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4MR0D Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Equivalent command depends on your DHCP client. Try: # pump --release or # dhclient -r as root. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannonfodder Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 Try turning off your router between boots and see if that makes a difference.. maybe a router difference (if you have one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciinien Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 (edited) Lennart. Try: $ su $ ifconfig Gets me the following: # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:24:E9:C4:AC inet addr:<the address assigned by router> Bcast:>machine's bcast addy> Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::2a0:24ff:fee9:c4ac/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:866 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:907 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:541786 (529.0 Kb) TX bytes:144204 (140.8 Kb) Interrupt:10 Base address:0xef00 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:576 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:576 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:50646 (49.4 Kb) TX bytes:50646 (49.4 Kb) Works for me on a 10-CE installation. Good luck. Cheers! Ci Edited April 14, 2004 by Ciinien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
