Your modem probably has a web- based interface, where you can just bring up the page by typing in (for example) http://192.168.1.254 (the address for my Westell). You may have a different address that you can get from the modem's documentation or from tech support. Once you have that, you can bring up eth0 with a static address, browse to the modem, enable DHCP, and then bring eth0 back down and then up on DHCP. If you do it that way you let the modem handle the acquisition of the address from the ISP and then it just NATs you out. > Basically if I do an ifconfig the ethernet card is entirely missing the > line that would begin with inet addr.

dhcp/ethernet question
hi, I'm trying to set up a firewall to connect to my cable modem ISP (comcast) using DHCP I've got a 3c905 ethernet card and I've got the 3c59x module running. I've got the auto eth0 and iface eth0 inet dhcp lines in the /etc/network/interfaces file. The ethernet cable is plugged in on both ends, the cable modem is plugged in and it has lights. I am getting a 'weirdness' and I'm not sure if it's on the DHCP end or the ethernet end. Basically if I do an ifconfig the ethernet card is entirely missing the line that would begin with inet addr. It's not blank, it's not there with a 0.0.0.0 address, it's just not there. basically it looks like this eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:97:97:E9:92 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1298 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1298 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:443916 (433.5 KiB) Interrupt:10 Base address:0xff00 I realize that there's other information that may be necessary but I'm not sure what else might be particularly relevant at this pint Is there anything off the top of anyone's head that would suggest what area I should be directing my troubleshooting? thanks = -Alice "Also _cute_ and _fluffy_!!!"

Re: ethernet question
thats right. With one ethernet plug, you need to have 3 cards. 2 in the computer that actually is connected to the plug. one card for the pplug and one card for communications with thte other computer. ofcourse the other computer must have another card. No special software is needed. read networking how to. you just need to "create" a small sub-network with your two computers and configure routing and ifconfig in the computer with the 2 cards the howto tells muth more about this On Sun, 2 Dec 2001, Alec wrote: > Hi > > How does one connect two computers to the internet throught one ethernet > socket?

Re: ethernet question
Alec wrote: How does one connect two computers to the internet throught one ethernet socket? Does one of them have to have two ethernet cards and run special software? Technically, one socket would not do the job. But to your querstion: One computer acts as a gateway. One interface is connected with the internet (eg. ethernet adaptor for xDSL, modem, ISDN adaptor etc.). A second adapter is used to bridge the internal network/te second computer with the internet. The first one (gateway) therefore an ethernet card (will be the "second" one if using xDSL). You can use NAT (network address translation) to let the other computer send and receive data to/from the internet through the gateway. You do not need external/additional software to do this, just use iptables of the 2.4 kernel series. The gateway will establish a connection like a single workstation while setting up an additional script in /etc/init.d/ will activate NAT ("ipforward" or "ipmasquerading") and additional firewall rules. Thus, a gateway's client will send a request to the gateway. That repackages this request and sends it out in "his name" (IP). On receive, it knows from which client the request came and sends the results back. Hope thi helped, Timo

Re: Ethernet question
First you need to find out if that card is supported. If it is then find out which driver you need. Then you compile that driver into you kernel or as a module. Someone may know which card your talking about and tell you which driver you need, if it is supported. If not there are a couple places on line you can look -- http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO.html http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html Try searching the list's archives also. hth, kent Urban Gabor wrote: > > Hello, > > I have and Ethernet card in my HP Kayak, and the M$ NT > recognises it as: > HP Ethernet with Lan Remote Power. > > I'd like to install slink, can I use the card as generic > Ethernet? > > Thanx > Gabaux

AMD PCNET PCI Ethernet question
Hi, (absolute Newbie to Linux): Using Slink and trying to setup my eth0 for the first time. I am reading the Ethernet-HOW-TO and have a few ques. When I did dmesg | more, it did not show any eth'N' messages so my first installation did not see the card. I looked under /lib/modules/2.0.36/ and found pcnet32.o which is what the HOW-TO says as being the correct driver for AMD PCNET PCI. if I do a ifconfig as root, I still do not see the eth0. if I do a modprobe eth0, I don't get anything. Can you help me detect my Ethernet Card without having to compile my kernal(cause I don't know how and don't want to get into that if I can avoid it). If I have to edit the /etc/conf.module, what exactly should I add/edit ? Thanks in advance, kuraldeb Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1

You can put: ifconfig eth0 netmask into /etc/init.d/network . You will probably also have to add your "route" line in there as well. On Mon, 10 Jan 2000, Paul M.
