ljmm Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Hello ! I bought Discovery 10, I was unable to run in graphical mode probably due to GeForce card not supported. (Got around by switching to a downloaded ML10.1) Now: Totally unable to connect to internet ADSL via built-in Realtek RTL 8139 (as Eth0) and a Speedtouch 510. More frustrating is the fact that I ran same installation on a HP notebook with same RTL 8139 built-in and there no problem.... Grateful to get some help (but simple as I am novice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 hi there and welcome aboard :) in case you use an alcatel speedtouch usb modem, this post might be helpful for you. dunno if it will be a real help for your modem (in case it is the troublemaker) but taking a look won't hurt, i guess. http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=16970 as i do not know your modem-type, nor the way you are connected, i need some info. does the modem work as a router? does it work with dhcp? if yes, try setting up a connection with a static ip, maybe that helps. was the networkcard recognized by mandrake? were there any errors when "bringing up eth0" at boot? have you already used mandrakes network wizard? if yes, please post the contents of your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file. what do you get when you type "ifconfig", "ifup etho" and "iptables -nvL" as root in a terminal?

ljmm Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Thank you ! Speedtouch 510 is not a USB modem, it is connected to the Eth 0 realtek built-in card. Eth0 is OK at boot, I think it is working with dhcp as I remember from the installation. I will answer last questions later today. Thanks again.

phazeman Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 (edited) Hi I was having almost the same problem but i got it fixed... run drakconnect as root and configure it as ADSL connection. Then open a terminal, su to root and run this: # service network stop # ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 broadcast 255.255.255.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 # ifup lo # ifup ppp0 it should do it. If you are ok with those come back here and i will explain to you how to make the settings permanent Edited January 5, 2005 by phazeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 well, what i see here is that 1. you stil lhave not clarified if your modem acts as a router or not and 2. you do not have defined any ip adress for your comp. lo Lien encap:Boucle localeinet adr:127.0.0.1 Masque:255.0.0.0 adr inet6: ::1/128 Scope:Hôte UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:120 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:120 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 lg file transmission:0 RX bytes:8690 (8.4 Kb) TX bytes:8690 (8.4 Kb) this output only shows your loopback connection. but this cat ifcfg-eth0DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=10.0.0.0 BROADCAST=10.0.0.255 ONBOOT=yes METRIC=10 shows that somehow, you should be connected through a router. 10.0.0.x indicates a router, just like 192.168.1.x. so you might try the aforementioned stuff from phazeman, but replace the 192.168.x values with 10.0.0.x values accordingly (x is for the number of your box, e.g. if it is the 3rd box on a network, it would be 10.0.0.3).

ljmm Posted January 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Can you explain what to do when typing " ifconfig eth0 ..." "returns SIOCSIFFLAGS: Function not implemented" Happily I can still connect on Windows.... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Can you explain what to do when typing " ifconfig eth0 ..." "returns SIOCSIFFLAGS: Function not implemented" Happily I can still connect on Windows.... Thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i found this infor on the net: "This usually indicates a hardware conflict with your ethernet controller. Run "ifconfig -a" and check the IRQ and I/O addresses used by the controller. Also, look at the contents of the files /proc/interrupts and /proc/pci to determine what IRQ and I/O addresses are in use on your system. Many ethernet and SCSI drivers cannot share interrupts under Linux. Your system most likely has an IRQ conflict. To fix IRQ conflicts on PCI bus systems, you can often go into the motherboard BIOS setup and mark the conflicting IRQ as "Used by an ISA Device". This will force the motherboard to reassign the IRQ, often eliminating the conflict." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 i am not sure at all but maybe you should try setting your irq 19 to isa in your bios. when i watched your irq-settings, the only possible collision i saw was this one: eth0 Lien encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:87:DF:DC:28BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 lg file transmission:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)TX bytes:0 (0.0 B ) Interruption:19 Adresse de base:0x6000 ...

ljmm Posted January 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Thanks, in the graphical tool to configure the computer, eth0 is said to be device 14. So both quotes are coherent (or not ??). But I will try. In the bios set-up I can choose between PCI & RESERVED, I guess I have to take Reserved. By the way Arctic don't tell me you are an average user, you are very helpful to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 please report back the results after tweaking your bios. you were talking of irq 14. okay, try that one, too. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljmm Posted January 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Thanks Arctic. I was unable to tweak the bios. It looks the built-in eth0 card is always given an IRQ>15 and in the bios I can only alter the setting for IRQ<16. So I disabled the eth0 card and replaced it by a PCI card same realtek RTL8129 chip. Again the IRQ went above 15. So in fact the eth0 is not up and running because a conflict This is probably due to the fact that I bought a cheap ACER computer bundled with XP with which you only get recovery CDs in case you have a major crash but you do not get any support for the mother board.... So I took my PCI eth card and plugged it into my old computer, the one I assembled myself and on which I can tweak all settings. Of course eth0 was up and running and I got connected problemless. Furthermore an SB PCI 128 that I was unable to run on my Acer (even when disabling the built-in sound card) went back to the "old" computer and was running also. Of course I am now frustrated that I am back on my old computer, but I have learned a lot in the excercise. Any idea how to recover the "new" computer, I guess I will not be able to put it on a LAN anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
