Re: [Server-devel] Networking issue with XS 0.7 on EPC-AT270
Just to check one of the basic details... Are you aware that the XS-0.7 doesnt configure network by default? You must take extra steps. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Installing_Software_0.7#Network_configuration Daniel To conclude this thread, well Daniel you have been right. We returned to it later and had no problems with v0.7 on this machine. I must have missed something; less haste more speed. Thanks! ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

Re: [Server-devel] Networking issue with XS 0.7 on EPC-AT270
Thanks Peter, dmesg | grep eth shows that the kernel sees the hardware, at least eth0 and eth1 hardware/MAC addresses are shown, and those agree with that shown from ifconfig -a which shows eth0, eth1 and lo but only lo with inet address (loopbackl). The physical ports appear to be inactive, the LEDs don't light up and when trying with a cable and computer, no network detected.

Hi yes, we ran xs-install (quite a bit of scrolling resulted... will need to capture it. Currently on site, will investigate further over next 24 hrs.
