how to config a lan ?

Hi to all!
I have a router (192.168.0.1) and a pc (192.168.0.2) connected trough a switch.After network conf. if i ping router,i get this error message:Destination unreachable: Address unreachable. This is my history command to config net:"ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 up" and "route add default gw 192.168.0.1" (and,after first error, route add -net 0.0.0.0/0 gw 192.168.0.1" also). I'm becoming mad for real...anyone have the solution?Thanx

you sure the switch is just a switch... its kinda hard now-a-days to buy "just a switch" - make sure the switch is working as a switch and not using dhcp (to test, try hooking up directly to the switch only and running "ifconfig eth0 up" and then "dhcpcd eth0")

other than that, do you have your ports wired right?

it's strange because under windows,everything work well!!

there's something wrong with some config file in my arch distro....commands i've posted before works fine on knoppix 3.7....anyone know what could be?

can you compare the modules loaded on arch to those on knoppix? it's possible they're detecting different net modules...

You checked resolv.conf ;-)

...same modules,8139cp,incredible!!Do u know if there's any setting in some config file?I mean something like modprobe.conf *.devfs etc etc....perhaps:how do u have configured your net?

some people have been having problems with adding certain nics to modprobe.conf. I believe this may be due to a few drivers being compiled into the kernel, and people trying to load them as modules again..not sure though.
I know some people have had luck migrating their nic module to /etc/rc.conf and just listing it in the module list. Then removing it from modprobe altogether.

Might be worth a try.

ok...after some tryes...i've found this situation: modules 8139cp +crc32 + mii are loaded at startup...but under gentoo, i had this problem too, i cuold solve loading 8139too. Now,under arch, i noticed a strange situation...if i remove both 8139cp and 8139too modules....ping work!!!!!! i think there's something loaded into kernel instead of module,but looking in the /usr/src/linux-2.6.10-ARCH .config, in the network section, both modules are marked as M !!!!!!!!mmm...i'm going really mad about this :?

ehm errata corrige...ping work but network is still unreachable.

SG-3 · 2005-02-26 13:21:43

Have you looked in resolv.conf!

scrooge · 2005-02-26 13:28:04

why shoud i look in resolv.conf if i ping a class C net (192.168.0.1)? Anyway nameservers are setted in resolv.conf ! by the way...i noticed also no resource allocated for eth0 device .... i mean no irq and base address...

scrooge · 2005-02-26 14:06:14

ok solved...eth0 was for ieee1934 and wrong module for realtek card: 8139cp instead of 8139cp ......uffffffff
