ok so that was the wrong link, I needed the 32bit version which I have tried to install. First the error was that I needed to have the kernel source installed, which I got from the install DVD via YAST. Now the error is: "No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; this means that the installer will need to compile a new kernel interface".
Then: "ERROR: you do not appear to have libc header files installed on your system. Please install your distribution's libc development package" I have searched through the YAST software management utility for instances of libc and devel for anything looking relevant and have come to a dead end. Anyone know the way from here? I really appreciate all the replies :-) I might go and borrow a network card from another machine... > no, so i'm getting the driver from here and will follow the directions > there. > > http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_amd64_1.0-0310.html > > > > Steve Holdoway wrote: > > have you either installed the forcedeth driver, or the proprietary > one > > from Nvidia??? > > > > > > On Fri, March 24, 2006 12:47 pm, Roger Searle wrote: > > > >>> On Fri, 24 Mar 2006 12:08:00 +1200 > >>> Roger Searle wrote: > >>> > >>> > >>>> NINE:/home/roger # route -n > >>>> Kernel IP routing table > >>>> Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use > >>>> Iface > >>>> 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo > >>>> > >>> the network is unreachable because you have no route to it. add the > >>> route. here is my table. > >>> > >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ /sbin/route -n > >>> Kernel IP routing table > >>> Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface > >>> 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 > >>> 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo > >>> 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 > >>> > >>> > >>> there are three entries > >>> > >>> one for the 127.0.0.0 loopback network > >>> one for the 192.168.1.0 lan network > >>> one for the rest of the world (0.0.0.0) > >>> > >>> you are missing the second and third. > >>> > >>> > >>> -- > >>> Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >>> > >>> > >> NINE:/home/roger # ifconfig eth0 10.1.1.20 netmask 255.0.0.0 > broadcast > >> 10.255.255.255 up > >> NINE:/home/roger # ifconfig eth0 > >> eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0A:48:1D:B7:5A > >> inet addr:10.1.1.20 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 > >> inet6 addr: fe80::20a:48ff:fe1d:b75a/64 Scope:Link > >> UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > >> RX packets:31 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > >> TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > >> collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 > >> RX bytes:2059 (2.0 Kb) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) > >> Interrupt:11 > >> > >> > >> NINE:/home/roger # ping 10.1.1.1 > >> PING 10.1.1.1 (10.1.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. > >> From 10.1.1.20: icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable > >> > >> > >> NINE:/home/roger # route -n > >> Kernel IP routing table > >> > >> Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use > >> Iface > >> 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 > >> eth0 > >> 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo > >> > >> NINE:/home/roger # route add default gw 10.1.1.1 > >> NINE:/home/roger # route -n > >> Kernel IP routing table > >> Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use > >> Iface > >> 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 > >> eth0 > >> 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo > >> 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 > >> eth0 > >> > >> NINE:/home/roger # ping 10.1.1.1 > >> PING 10.1.1.1 (10.1.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. > >> From 10.1.1.20: icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable > >> > >> > >> > > > > > > > >
