[POSTPONED] ethernet connection ??

[flip city]

recently upgraded my mobo. the drivers for the ethernet controller installed, however, I am unable to get online. how me get unstuck ??

[hata_ph]

DNS not configure properly?

[sledgehammer]

Well,

1.  Connect the modulator to the demodulator.
2.  Disconnect the demodulator.
3.  Take one gallon Diesel #2.
4.  Pour on your computer.
5.  Strike a match.
6.  Light the diesel oil.
7.  Drink three shots of bourbon while computer cools.
8.  Reboot.
9.  Take another three shots of bourbon.
10.  Try your mobo again.

A little more information would be useful....

1 What make of NIC is it?
2 What drivers have loaded?
3 Are the link lights on the motherboard backplane lit (I'm assuming its a wired rather than wireless connection)?
4 What does ifconfig say?

Paul.

Steps 7 & 9 worked well. Had some difficulty, though with the other steps. Old Forester. Cheap and so smooth !

Paul.

1.PCI Express gigabit
2.RTL 8111/8168B
3. yes
4. does not read inet add; brodcast add; or mask.

I am able to connect through other distros. only Vector is problematic.

Can you ping your router or other machine?
What is your DNS setting?

Can you ping your router or other machine?
What is your DNS setting?

1) cannot ping router while in VL 6.0.
2)where to check for dns settings ?

[newt]

The output from the following commands would be helpful:

lspci -v
lsmod
ifconfig -a

Also, is your network static or dynamic (i.e. dhcp)?

Last, have you attempted to set up a network profile using the wicd client? If so, what kind of connection information does it provide?

ps network is dhcp. wicd client was not cooperative.

[hata_ph]

DNS setting is located in /etc/resolv.conf

Pls provide us the lsmod and ifconfig -a...

[hata_ph]

Hi flip city,

You attachment is just have the lspci...pls post the lsmod and ifconfig -a....
