shoegoo Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 I recently installed 9.1 on my athlon 1.4. Everything seemed fine with the install; however, when it finished booting I came to find that there was no network connectivity. I have an integrated VIA 6103 NIC as well as a 3Com 590 NIC installed. Both interfaces are brought up but they can only ping localhost. I cannot even ping my router. I tried the rhinefet module from www.viaarena.com to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 If it's TPO: Geoffry Coram reported in the news that he got his 3com 590 TPO to work. He had to get the alpha driver from http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers. Other drivers would be there as well.

liquidzoo Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Is there a possibility that the onboard Via card is disabled in the BIOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 ...or vice-verse... and disable it in the bios and try using the 3Com one by itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 also, look in /var/log/messages for any apic, irq errors which via's are well known for. Does ifconfig -a show it to be configured with an ip etc.... is eth0 brought up at boot or does that error as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
