Hi all >I am a newbie with a newly installed slink. I am trying to get online >(Cable Modem - Road Runner) but not having much luck.
Have set up one, too, just not Road Runner. First had some incompatibility problem with "dhclient", so I ended up using "dhcpcd". >I installed dhcpcd and it appears to start on startup. Is it really up? A "ps x|grep dhcpcd" will do for that. >eth0 Linkencap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:25:68:A0:CC:25:68:A0 > unspec addr:[NONE SET] Bcast:[NONE SET] Mask:[NONE SET] Looks like your card has been identified, but has simply not been given any IP yet. In that case try "killall dhcpcd; dhcpcd eth0". Whilst doing that, I suggest you "tail -f /var/log/messages" on a different terminal. That should be fairly informative. >dmesg gives alternating: > >eth0: Changing PNIC configuration to half-duplex, CSR6 00420000 >eth0: Changing PNIC configuration to half-duplex, CSR6 01860000 Dunno whether that's a problem...? Doesn't sound like it, anyway. Tell me if this helped... HTH Sven
