Ixthusdan Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 I would configure the connection just as a simple network connection, and not "cable." BTW, don't worry about the etho not coming up at boot. Since Mandrake 7.0, I have had it on again-off again at boot, and always had networking when the system fully loaded. It is a bug that is more of an annoyance than anything else. OK, so you configure your network dhcp. What is the netmask? what does your provider tell you? Also, even though it's linux, I highly recommend setting up the router and getting behind a firewall. It is the real safe computing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frosterrj Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 when you go into the Mandrake Control Center, Hardware section, click on hardware button, can you see your lan card in the list?? If you can, run the config tool and just set it up as a lan connection (no, cable, no dsl, just lan). THis is really the best way to do it IF your card is listed. Good luck, Robert By the way, Did you know you can create a text file (like copying the ifup eth0 output from the console) and save it to your /mnt/win_C/windows/Desktop (check the path here, its from memory) so you can copy/paste it here for all to read? That would really help a lot. There's really no need to write it all down on paper. Try opening kedit or kwrite or gedit if you are using Gnome.

liquidzoo Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that the path for the desktop in 2k/XP is: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop So...assuming that this drive is mounted as /mnt/win_c (which I hope it is, cause this will be a lot easier if it is) type the following in a console, as root (open a terminal, type su <enter>, enter your root password <enter> First thing, enter this: df -h This will tell you if your Windows drive is mounted (assuming it's the first partition on the drive, it will be /dev/hda1) Here is the output of mine: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 8.3G 232M 8.1G 3% / /dev/sda1 71G 30G 41G 42% /home /dev/hda8 49G 25G 24G 51% /mnt/music none 379M 44K 379M 1% /tmp /dev/hda6 9.5G 3.3G 6.2G 35% /usr /dev/hda7 8.1G 264M 7.8G 4% /var /dev/sda5 6.5G 773M 5.8G 12% /var/www/html If you see that it says something for /mnt/win_c then we're in business. From that point, still as root type the following: ifconfig > /mnt/win_c/Documents\ and\ Settings/All\ Users/Desktop/ifconfig.txt You can hit the tab key in there to simplify things (ex: type Doc<tab> will most ikely give you that whole foldername). Notice both the Capitalization and the \'s before the spaces. That's very important. Assuming that worked, you can reboot to windows and see that file. That will help us out a lot. Also, while you're there, try setting up your internet connection as a LAN (Not a Cable) Connection. (remove the existing connection and set up a new connection as a LAN Connection, accepting all default settings) and see if that works. Now, if your Windows drive is not mounted; come back and we'll tell you how to get it mounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbaddonXD Posted September 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 (edited) its not mounted Edited September 28, 2004 by AbaddonXD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 What is the filesystem? Is it Fat32 or NTFS? Either way, you should be able to issue the commands (as root) mkdir /mnt/win_c mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c And have it mount. Give it a try and see if that works. If it just returs you to the command line, with no error messages then you're fine. Try the command I said above. Also, did you try to recreate your net connection as a LAN connection?

AbaddonXD Posted September 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 (edited) ifconfig > /mnt/win_c/Documents\ and\ Settings/All\ Users/Desktop/ifconfig.txt it said no such directory..... and i can play music off my windows paritions but when itry to copy a text over from a gui it sais it cant read it or copy it or somthing.. im new to all this command stuff i also chose lan same thing Edited September 28, 2004 by AbaddonXD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 good morning everyone :) im new to all this command stuff don't worry, you are in good hands. ;) have you been able to mount the partition the way liquidzoo told you? if not, we might have to edit your fstab file first (i hope this is not necessary...). if you have been able to mount the windows-partition, make sure that you didn't write anything with a typo. once you have a typo, a message like "no such directory" will appear.

AbaddonXD Posted September 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 (edited) well i was wrong from befor they were already mounted so i didnt have to mount them myself but they are NTFS an i can only read off them i cant copy onto them :| good mornin to you too =/ ive also been in the chat if you wanna make your way in there... maybe this would go faster then...... :) Edited September 28, 2004 by AbaddonXD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 (edited) well, it looks as if your network card is not the real problem as there are no error messages in the packets section. could you please post the contents of your /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file? maybe the problem is somewhere in that file configuration.
