no internet

[qqmajikpp]

im running slackware 10
im using the default kernel
dlink nic
im have a direct conneciton to my cable modem. and ifconfig returns 127.0.0.1 (no ip)

im trying to connect to the internet. my cable modem says thats its connected and ready but slackware says otherwise... any tips?

Could it be a routing table issue. What is the default gateway interface set to? Make sure it is set to your NIC.

Looks like Slack did not recognize your NIC on the install.

as root, run "netconfig"

then see if eth0 shows up in ifgonfig.

i was set up to use a dhcp at first... this time i set up a static ip since its the only one connecting to the internet.

im guessing eth0 is supposed to be at the top ehter before Link encap: or on the link encap: line.
actually i dont see it anywhere and

Link encap: Local Loopback

Runlsmod see if it loaded.

[qqmajikpp]

it's loaded

i tried ifconfig eth0 up

then dmesg

it links up

but something else aint right

[JohnT]

Attach as .txt your results fromifconfig

[qqmajikpp]

man some crazyness is going on
okay... the activity lite on my NIC doesnt blink... ever. but the green lite is on when i plug in the cable. sometimes the modem says it's connected to the computer and sometimes it doesnt but dmesg shows that it connects and disconnects the way that it has. sometimes the modem does show that it connects to the linux box... i have no problems with my laptop. the modem ALWAYS connects to my laptop (winxp and even when i run phlak live on it it connects just as easily)


ifconfig turns up this
(i dont know how to save the output or hot o find it and put it on disk)

# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:BA:44:8E:C8
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 METRIC:1

I've had more sent packets before
I tried setting a static IP and saw an IP in there too but its set dhcp rigth now... you can probably tell.

(i dont know how to save the output or hot o find it and put it on disk)Left-button hold down...highlight the output in your terminal..open up a text editor......middle-click in the text editor.

Now attach as .txt the complete output of "ifconfig" and the output of "route".

If you will attach those as .txt it will make it more readable. To attach when on the reply page just above the "Submit Reply" button you wiil see "Attach File/Browse". Attach your complete "lsconfig" rather than "lsmod" along with the "route". Thanks

it wont copy to disk

I'm having the same problem as you, I'm getting an error message saying:

SIOCSIFFLAGS Function not implemented

ifconfig only shows lo, I can bring lo down then up again no problem, but I can't bring eth0 up. my eth0 is assigned an IP but no internet yet...

sorry for hijacking your thread!
