photoworks Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 today, when i try to access to the internet, it tells me that the connection is down and that i need to configure it. the last time i tried (two days ago) i was able to get to the internet. I did not change anything and nmy ethernet card is ok at boot. i tried to reach my rooter at http://192.168.2.1:88/ but i can't even reach it. i tried ifup eth0 <enter> in the console as root and i get this message : Determining IP information for eth0... Done. As i have dual boot, i boot into windows and there my internet connection works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 uh... maybe windows screwed something here. please post the output of ifconfig eth0 and the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifconfig-eth0 file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 your config files look okay. so there should not be a problem with them. go to mandrake control center and take a look at your hardware. is the networking card properly shown in it? do you have a second networking device in your comp? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoworks Posted September 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 i really don't know what is happenning on my system, but some weird thins happened. I noticed that the protection was high, so i dowgraded the protection to standard and then the internet connection was accesssible again ( though in the panel "internet connection", the connection "lan" is on status not connected". I then upgraded again to high. The connection still works (thou, once again in the panel "internet connection", the connection "lan" is on status not connected. my network card is recognized properly.

kmc77 Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 (edited) Check you're firewall. Did you mess with the "share a connection" wizard? That tends to happen. If hardware and ifconfig look good, then try completely turning off firewall (remember that you have to select the network card). Then reset the computer (I'm sure this isn't necessary, but old Windows habbits die hard) Once you're back on, reset your firewall as you see fit.
