scarecrow Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Is your net switch using DHCP, or static addresses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4di Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Is your net switch using DHCP, or static addresses? Static (192.168.100.2), what can be the solution ? I forget to tell that the green led on the network card (IBM ) is working . Edited November 28, 2008 by 4di Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSurfer60 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 What output do you get from ifconfig eth0 when issued as root in a console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4di Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 etho: error fetching interface information : device not found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 It's eth0 (last char: ZERO, not o). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4di Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 It's eth0 (last char: ZERO, not o). Should I change the network card ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orts Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Should I change the network card ? No, what Scarecrow means is, that in konsole you have to write the last char as a ZERO, not as a o. Open your konsole login as root, using the su command, write your root password when promt, then write or copy/paste ifconfig eth0 in to the konsole and hit enter. and paste the output in here :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Actually, you can paste from your browser to the console. Copying from the browser is done by rightclicking with the mouse, and pasting to the console is not done with "ctrl+V", but with "shift+insert" instead.

SilverSurfer60 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) To save any confusion paste the output of the following konsole commands su root[enter] password[your root password][enter] ifconfig into a reply.

4di Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 i wrote ifconfig eth0 in console as root and the result was : etho: error fetching interface information : Device not found Can you help me please ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSurfer60 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Will please you post the output of the command ifconfig without any eth0 at the end of the command? You might also want to check that your network card is listed in the detected hardware using mcc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 The better will be: ifconfig -a and post the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 You don't have any network interface in your machine. This can happen for one of a few reasons. 1. The module is not loaded. 2. The modue doesn't support your network card. 3. Your kernel doesn't have a module for your network card. so, please provide results from: lsmod | grep tg3 as well as: lspci so we can see the information for your network card.
