devries Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Look in the Mandrake control center, internet and network, new connection. You can make an interconnection from there. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbaddonXD Posted September 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 i did all that........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 (edited) open a console (the little black monitor icon), type "su" then enter root password. now type "ifup eth0" does it work? if not, please type "ifconfig eth0" and post the result. also show your /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 file. and take a look in your mandrake control center → hardware section. is your network-card identified by mandrake? :) Edited September 27, 2004 by arctic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 (edited) okay, if you don't know how to show your file-info i will tell you. :) open konqueror. got to the most basic folder of your system → / now open the /etc folder, then the sys-config folder then the network (or was it network-scripts? :unsure:) folder. there you will find a file called ifcfg-eth0 open this file with a double click. a new window should pop up. press ctrl+a (select all) then strg+c (copy) and paste it in here (the topic where you are answering) with ctrl+v. from a console it is quite similar. you can use (if you prefer) the mouse. move the mouse-cursor to the first letter, press left mouse button and keep it pressed. now move the mouse button down. you will see that the text gets marked again (as in the editor before). now copy that text and paste it in here. ;) Edited September 27, 2004 by arctic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 (edited) okay, now do the following: read this first, it has some incredible information for setting up networks. it helped me and others a lot. Setting up a single PC with static ethernet IP address and while you try to set up your network, in case it doesn't work, disable your firewall in mandrake control center and try your net connection again. but first, read the above stuff. (no, there are no nice pictures of mickey mouse included... just plain boring text. :P) Edited September 27, 2004 by arctic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 the guy said he hasn't tested it... well, just in order to make something clear: he is a professional sys-admin, as far as i know and one of the best on this board with regard to networking. so, you can trust his howto. ;) now, please post here the result of your "ifconfig eth0" command in the console and the contents of your ifcfg-eth0 file. otherwise we can hardly help you. :) and... be patient... i had to "work" two weeks on my damn network to get it running (the cause of my trouble was a broken cable though :P).

Ixthusdan Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Please describe your hardware network configuration. Also, This is a networking issue, so I'm moving it to the appropriate forum! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a13x Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Maybe it's an acpi problem ? Yes, since my network problems I have acpi trauma . Try booting Linux like this: when you see the lilo screen press escape then type this: linux noapic nolapic acpi=off. Try to configure your network card now from MCC.

Ixthusdan Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 I'm sorry. I wasn't being clear. I mean what is you network map, the actual hardware connecting to get to the internet? Aern't you hooking up your computer through ethernet to a cable modem? Do you also have a router or any such device working? Are you behind any type of firewall? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
