Problem with network

[Kover_25]

Hi everyone !

I have big problem with my hardware on Linux ( Actually I use Slackware 10.1, but I tried also MDK9.2 and RH9.0. All distributions have the same problem ).

I have motherboard Gigabyte GA-7VT600 1394 with integrated LAN ( I have also second Ethernet card on PCI, I tried both and problem was the same).

After installation Linux, at first time start system I have connected with network.
I get IP, NETMASK and DNS from DHCP.
When I started second time network doesn’t work.

When I tried :

dhcpcd eth0

then:
interface eth0 don’t go up

dmesg | grep –I eth0:

eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xd09c7000, 00:0f:ea:35:08:f0, IRQ 11
eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8101'
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x41E1
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x41E1
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Tx queue start entry 4 dirty entry 0.
eth0: Tx descriptor 0 is 00002000. (queue head)
eth0: Tx descriptor 1 is 00002000.
eth0: Tx descriptor 2 is 00002000.
eth0: Tx descriptor 3 is 00002000.
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x41E1

and

mii-tool

SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Invalid argument
no MII interfaces found

when I use cat /proc/interrupts I don’t see IRQ for eth0

When I do for example:
Ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255 up

Then eth0 go up and I see IRQ for eth0

I must get IP from DHCP, what can I do ??


Ps. Sorry for my English

did you run netconfig? you'll need to run through it and input all the options, the hostname can be anything, and make sure you select dhcp as the protocol

[Kover_25]

I did it many times .

When I do for example:
Ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255 up

Then eth0 go up and I see IRQ for eth0

Hello.
Longshot
Uhm... are you swedish and using Telia?
If you are. Aren't you suppose to log in before you can access any internet connections?

[Kover_25]

No. I am Polish, but I have ADSL too.

I have router SpeedTouch510 with 4 ethernet ports, and that's why I don't
have log in.

Guys I have second computer with Slcakware, and everything is ok.
Problem is only with that motherboard Gigabyte GA-7VT600 1394.

[Krendoshazin]

another user stated this in another thread, and i felt it was worth a try. try running netconfig as normal, selecting dhcp as the protocol etc, and then use your router address as your dns address

[Kover_25]

I tried.

I used netconfig, next I set everything, and then I was edit resolv.conf
I was write namesrever 10.0.0.138.

But still doesn't work

Did you setup your router as the gateway ? What is the output of:

route -n
ifconfig
lsmod

[Kover_25]

route -n

Okay, next steps:

dhcpcd -d -t 60 eth0

It should be more verbose now, and logs to the syslog. I don't use Slack so I can´t check where you can find the results.
And if that doesn't work try the static setup.
