Connecting to internet

[placebo21]

Hi,

I am new to Linux. I am trying to configure my internet connect connection and so far have had no luck. I have installed debian version 2.6.18.

I am trying to configure a connection via ethernet cable from a router.

When i go to network tools all that is there under network device is "Loopback interface" and it shows an ip address listed but it wont allow me to configure it.

I have tried a few things that i saw being reccomended on the forum by using the command terminal and running a these commands

dmesg |grep eth*

ifconfig eth0 up

dhclient eth0


but with no success as I am not entirely sure what i am doing.

If anyone could give me some direction i would appreciate it. Let me know if you need any more info.

Send your output of
ifconfig eth0.

and Certainly you can configure with root access.

First of all you need to know the name of the device, so issue this command.

/sbin/lspci |grep net

This will show you all your network cards, unless you have a USB card, then you need to use

/sbin/lsusb

Post the info here, so we can help you identify the chipset.
Issue this command also.

/sbin/ifconfig

this will tell us a little about your network, so post the output from that here too.

Here is what i get when i type in my the commands.


for "ifconfig -a" i get:

"lspci | grep -i net" i get:

00:19:0 Ethernet controller : Intel Corporation Unknown device 294c (rev 02)

For "dh client eth0" i get:

When I try to run any of those commands you gave it it does not work. When i enter the /sbin/ is says that that there is no such file.

if i remove the s i get these results.


/sbin/lspci |grep net :

00:19:0 Ethernet controller : Intel Corporation Unknown device 294c (rev 02)


as for the /sbin/lsusb command it only says no such directory.

for /sbin/ifconfig: i get the same results as when i ran the command the other command

Im not sure what the /sbin/ is but i cannot seem to access it.

[MikeTbob]

Ok, you seem to have eth0 present, notice that is a zero, not an O. eth0.
Try this from the command line as root.
ifconfig eth0 up
dh client eth0
Still getting the same errors as above?
The errors you are getting when you run those commandsthat I posted is because I have never used Debian and I don't know the correct syntax and directory structure. Nothing to worry about.
By the way, are you using a router?

[placebo21]

sorry that must have been a type-o. I have been using eth0. And yes i am using a router.

[MikeTbob]

sorry that must have been a type-o. I have been using eth0. And yes i am using a router.

So you aren't able to get anywhere so far?
Let's look at the output of this command to see if which modules are loaded

lsmod

I think this card uses the e1000 module but I'm still looking into that.

[placebo21]

heres are the module listed when i input lsmod:

[MikeTbob]

Well, I don't see the e1000 module, so try loading it with this command.

modprobe e1000

if you get no errors and no response, then type this next

dmesg

look for any messages about your network card.
then you can try bringing eth0 up again.

ifconfig eth0 up

dh client eth0

[placebo21]

alright,

so when i run modprobe e1000 no message or errors occur.

so i typed in dmsg and got this:

I am not sure if any of those messages were significant.

Then when i input "ifconfig eth0" up I get no message.

when i put in "dhclient eth0" i get:

I'm still not really sure what this means
