Subject: Netconfig Fail
Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2005 09:15:12 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051006091512.7dd839e8.heisspf@skyinet.net> (raw)


Hi,

Slackware 10.1 kernel 2.4.29

My onboard LAN card on the mobo failed and I had to switch to an external LAN card.

I disabled in BIOS Ethernet onboard. Then I did netconfig. Slackware found the LAN card I entered all necessary data and the configuration went w/o any errors.

However, I cannot connect to the Internet. On booting after the MAC address was found it should produce the the IP address which it does not. It just sits for a while then continues booting. The same happens when I do /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.

Ifconfig naturally shows no connection just the loop-back.

Where is the hitch?

I had no problem in Fedora4 to configure the new Lan card and in the gem Damned Small Linux distro, where I am now, the new LAN card was found w/o me doing anything.

Help for slackware appreciated.

Thanks & regards

Peter
