Re: [Haifux] Linux Ubuntu in Haifa - help needed
I can come over if needed and help. When is a good time? Alon On Thu, 1 Mar 2007, YigalB wrote: Hi Haifa guys A youth club near Gesher Paz needs help: I donated two PCs with Linux Ubuntu.

If you do get a ping, perhaps you did not define the gateway properly. Check out /etc/network/interfaces Tzahi I am new to Linux myself, so now I learned there is such file. I didn't look at this file, since I didn't know it exist, so I didn't ping as well since I didn't know the address of the router. Anyway - I am sure there is a DHCP working there, since I was told they connected several Windows machines and they worked fine. What I did is to look and make sure the network tools and to see that Ethernet device was enabled and in DHCP automatic IP mode. I am sure I missed something, since it didn't work. On the other hand, it did work at my home before I delivered them the PC. Perhaps the installation process set something that match my home setting and not that place? Can I run re-installation just for the network, something like a wizard? Thanks Yigal - Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Perhaps the installation process set something that match my home setting and not that place? It is possible, especially if you used a dialer script like netvision scripts etc... I.e. the routing tables have a default gateway that came from that scripts. Another possibility, if the ethernet cable is long like 15meters and the ethernet is on board, perhaps you need to change the interface to 10MB-FD. This sometimes happen with the cheap boards. Though if it worked on windows without touching anything in the drivers, than it shouldn't be a problem. In the end, we need to have some output in order to help you. I.e. ifconfig, route -n, cat /etc/network/interfaces. Can I run re-installation just for the network, something like a wizard? I don't user gnome tools so i cannot say. I use kubuntu with kde. In kde it is in the system settings. -- Regards, Tzahi. -- Tzahi Fadida Blog: http://tzahi.blogsite.org | Home Site: http://tzahi.webhop.info WARNING TO SPAMMERS: see at http://members.lycos.co.uk/my2nis/spamwarning.html - Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
