hello guys, i am having a problem installing RedHat 7.2 using a PCMCIA network card (D-Link DFE660) on a Compaq Armada laptop. I have a linux desktop set up as a DHCP server and ftp server (Mandrake 8.1) I made the pcmcia boot disk and pcmcia driver disk. boot from the disk is ok, so is the driver. Linux detected my d-link card ok and asked me to config the TCP/IP. I selected using DHCP and from the syslog on the DHCP server i can see that an IP has been assigned to the laptop. However, the laptop did not give me any error message nor did it allow me to select the network installation methods (FTP, HTTP or NFS). If i configure the TCP/IP using static IP(192.168.0.250, MASK 255.255.255.0 no gateway, no DNS), then choose install from FTP, it gives me that error that could not connect the FTP server (192.168.0.103 no message in the syslog off course). I think those two machines are not networked.
do you guys have any idea what is going on here? thanks a lot Jeff http://my.yahoo.com.au - My Yahoo! - It's My Yahoo! Get your own! -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
