No network connection.

kuratkull · 2007-02-04 18:05:28

Hello,

I installed Arch 0.7.2 in VMWare and it installed great. But I didn't do any manual configuring during the install, all defaults.
So now I don't have network connection. I fear it's because I don't have the correct network module loaded.
Also, I connect through a router at 192.168.97.1.

rc.conf:

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)

gateway="defalt gw 192.168.97.1"
ROUTER=(!gateway)

#ifconfig shows only lo and not eth0, as it should.

How do I get network connection?

nope

Do a 'lsmod' to check if your network module is loaded. If you're unsure, you can post the output here.

I'm not clear which is not connecting, your Linux or your VM machine?
If the problem is your VM you need to configure the network options for it.
If the problem is your Arch box, then please post the results of:

ifconfig

and

route

and

mii-tool

and we will take if from there...

My vmware with arch is running on my debian box.
VMWare is configured correctly, but Arch doesn't have network connection(misconfigured prolly).
I cannot

1. Which module shall I look from lsmod?

i had to make screenshot's, since there's no way I can export the output from arch.

I doubt it's a vmware problem because I have arch 0.8 installed on my comp, but I can't get the network connection to work either. I haven't tried all the things suggested in this topic yet though.

It's really weird because, when I put in a static IP in rc.conf, the network daemon can load up when I restart it, but I still won't have a working internet. However, when I set rc.conf to use dhcp, the network daemon fails to start.

Exactly the same here. With dhcp it fails to load, but with static the daemon loads, but still no connection.

really would like to try Arch, wouldn't like this to end like this.

Do you have a router?

I run Arch with static IP and use VMWare all the time without problem.
I think the the way to troubleshoot the problem is to start with Arch and get it to connect to the Web, then work with VMWare.

What's in your /etc/resolv.conf file?

In resolv.conf I have nameserver defined(my router, also tried with my ISP, but didn't work either).

Yeah, I connect through a router. I'm guessing I'm just doing something really stupid with my configs or something, but I can't pinpoint it. I'll try posting my configs when I get home (at school). I just feel the answer is right under my nose or something. Quite irritating.

EDIT: Btw, I still have configs from my 0.7.2 install (I just reformated it and installed 0.8 from the CD because pacman -Syu seemed to just screw things up especially with nvidida and gcc), and the internet worked when I had dhcp on. I put them on here if you'd like to see.

Oh, nice, please put the 0.7.2 configs here. Maybe they'll work for me. Then we may have a better understanding of the problem.

Looking at your route results seems to me that something is wrong.
You have 192.168.97.0 (which is the network) but you should also have somthing like:

default         192.168.97.1   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

which is in fact your connection to the outside world.
That's your gateway and you do not have it, therefore, you cannot go to the Internet.

i used information from your configs, and got connection working. Maybe it was one of the modules?

Thank you all
Going to explore arch now.

Lone_Wolf · 2007-02-05 19:42:08

Vmware has the following options for supplying network connections to virtual machines :
bridged, nat, host-only , none . All (except none) normally use vmware's dhcp-server .

The values you have to set in any vm depend on what network connection vmware let's them see.
Tell us what you have set in vmware for your arch vm and we may be able to help.

edit : Looks like i was to slow ...
