longman Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 (edited) I need help getting my network working. I've freshly installed mandriva LE2005, but the network isn't working "out of the box." I checked the configuration from the icon in the KDE tray, and it shows me eth1-my ethernet card- is selected, and I can see my dns as well as an IP address assigned by my router, after I tried stopping and restarting the network. now I can't even access the network. when I try ifup eth1 I get the error: SIOCADDRT: network is unreachable. help please! *also when I try to shutdown, nidf gets stuck... what is nidf and should I have it turned off by default?

devries Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Perhaps a firewall problem? What security level are you using? Nifd: open the Mandriva Control Center (MCC), system, services and click on the 'info' button :). Could be related to your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longman Posted August 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Thanks. I'm not sure what the problem was, when I turned on my computer this morning the networking was running fine. Perhaps a firewall problem? What security level are you using? Nifd: open the Mandriva Control Center (MCC), system, services and click on the 'info' button :). Could be related to your problem. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
