Configuring my network

[thebudbottle]

As far as I know, and I am very new to this, the best way to set a gateway is with route.... so i propose that you try:

% su -
% route add default gw {your gateway ip}

either that or get an address using dhcp, which will automatically assign your gateway and DNS, incidentally, once you do have your gateway figured out, you wont get name resolution until you add DNS servers...

Let me know how it goes,

What happens when you type

Netconfig

as root?

It runs netconfig, but thats what I don't understand, I configure it correctly, yet it still doesnt work! Someone suggested I move my NIC card to a different pci port, would this work?

[adrenaline]

If it is a IRQ problem it could work.


Does your computer see your nic card? When you run netconfig does it say you don't have a nic card and ask you to probe for one? what happens when you ping a qualified IP address?
Try to

ping 66.94.230.52

run ifconfig as root and show me what it says.

Your ethernet card isn't being seen. Being 9.1 and not having it in front of me I can't tell you much more. I have slack ten and I have a rc.inet1.conf file that I can configure then I reboot and as if by magic it works. I had the same problem as you did at first but when I ran netconfig it asked me if I wanted to probe my nic card I said yes and it found it and I then added the gateway to rc.inet1.conf rebooted and I was off to the races.

Something else to try
cd /etc/rc.d

less rc.inet1.

Go through this file closely and see if you can figure out what file it reads its net info from. If you can figure that out that would be the file to edit.
also if you type lsmod it should tell you what your nic care is. If it is not there maybe your computer doesn't know you have one. Look to see if your nic card is supported with slackware.
