cant load eth0 interface and http...

[Antonis]

Hi,

I have isntalled linux mandrake 8. Everything was working fine until I configured my internet.
Sice i did that and then restarted my comp, when linux loads in the x window ... it cannot load the eth0 interface (network icon)and some other ones including http (star icons).
The strange thing is that internet still works fine but teh last time I remember I had this problem I had to reinstall linux because I could not open any windows on the desktop and no programs would work. I have a lot of important files that I dont want to loose.

Can you please help me? What should I do?

Thanks.

I'm a RH person my self but I can atlest direct u to what could be wrong with drake. First try and go on to a console based internet browser and go to a website ex. [lynx is one] or try and ping some thing
[ping www.yahoo.com] (http://www.yahoo.com]) and see if u get a responce back if u do then something is arie with the X based browsers. if it comes back unknown host or an other error. get into a terminal and type netconfig or netconf (these are two linux commands but non the lest drake might have these) U should be able to rejump start you network connection.

The problem you had before with the windows was not related to the network in any way so there really should be no reason to reinstall.

That should be good news...

Does mandrake have linuxconf? If so see if you can reconfigure apache in there.

Hi,

now the eth0 loads fine. I didnt do anything though. But anyway thats good news.

I have tried to ping www.yahoo.com (http://www.yahoo.com) and there was a response but no error messages came up.

Now the httpd doesnt load up when loading mandrake.

I am now in linuxconf and there are three tabs config, control, status. I have looked into these but i cant see any apache. Could you please tell me where I could find this?

Thanks

You have static addressing or DHCP or NAT?

You could always configure eth0 again and set it as default route.

Can you ping any node on the network at all?

I am using DHCP and the internet works fine.

But httpd doesnt load and some other extensions of httpd.
