    HELP! Prob with Ethernet Card

    Just finished installing Mandrake 10.1and I am not able to connect to the internet.

    I use an ethernet card and had no problems connecting while using Knoppix Live Run CD.

    Bringing up Interface eth0 fails at start up. Yet it is detected while I am in the OS, but is unable to connect. What can I do?

    Thanks

    Among the info for USB and other stuff the last 2 entries are:

    02: 02.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor., Ltd. RTL- 8139/ RTL- 8139C/ RTL- 8139C+ (rev 10)

    02: 09.0 Communication controller: Conexant HSF 56k HSF: Modem (rev 01)

    Thanks again

    could you run lsmod and post that output as well?
    There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

    AFAIK Realtek RTL- 8139(x) is supported as is.
    What exactly do you get as an error when you try to bring up the eth0?
    When you try bring it up, are you trying "ifconfig eth0 up" as root?
    Could you also post the last lines (corresponding to eth0 errors) from "dmesg" command as well.

    When I run command lsmod:

    bash: lsmod: command not found

    When I run dmesg:

    8139 too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.27
    eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xd0996000, 00:40:2b:4b:25:e2, IRQ 17
    eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8100B/8139D'

    I'm new to Linux so don't know much about loading hardware. It recognizes the Ethernet Card in the Control Center and running the configure tool does nothing. I am still unable to connect, it shows that I am disconnected on the toolbar.

    Thanks

    ifconfig eth0 up
dhclient eth0

    When it fails at startup does it fail immediately or does it have to time out? Oh, and network hotplugging will screw up things sometimes, so disable it if it's enabled.

    From this printout it do look like you have your Ethernet adapter up'n'running. So lets see if we can find the cause why you can't reach the net.

    Have you checked the printout from "/sbin/ifconfig eth0"

    Print outs for:

    ifconfig eth0 up
    bash: ifconfig: command not found

    dhclient eth0
    bash: dhclient: command not found

    /sbin/ifconfig eth0

    eth0 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:2B:4B:25:E2
    BROADCAST 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 txqueuelen: 1000
    RX bytes: 0 (0.0 b) TX bytes: 0 (0.0 b)
    Interrupted: 17 Base address: 0x6000

    I also tryed configuring again under Control Center and disabling network hot plugging, and again nothing.

    Thanks
