Start by making sure only one NIC is plugged into the Ethernet for this machine. Then you will want to check the route tables and IPs of the machines on the network using the ifconfig, netstat and arp commands I gave below.
ok, now I understand what caused my network problems -- not sure if this explains the "martin" messages, but I don't care about those msgs as long as the network is working... lan connected only to eth1 (marvell), eth0 was not connected at boot time, but eth0 got configured and the default route got set via eth0 because there is a 10 day lease time from my fritz box as dhcp server and ifcfg-eth0 says STARTMODE='auto' (start at boot time, yast default). now I switched both ifcfg-eth[01] to STARTMODE='ifplugd' which makes my setup now work with either nic connection.... looks like STARTMODE='auto' is not always the best choice -- maybe yast should use STARTMODE='ifplugd' as default ?! thanks for your hints and questions -- ticket closed for me (except for the question of a different yast2 default for STARTMODE ?!?) ! before changing STARTMODE the runtime config looked like this: # grep dhcp.*eth0 /var/log/messages May 24 18:55:00 a1 dhcpcd[9790]: eth0: timed out May 24 18:55:00 a1 dhcpcd[9790]: eth0: trying to use old lease in `/var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.info' May 24 18:55:00 a1 dhcpcd[9790]: eth0: adding IP address 192.168.178.27/24 May 24 18:55:00 a1 dhcpcd[9790]: eth0: adding default route via 192.168.178.1 metric 0 # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:0C:D9:60:B2 inet addr:192.168.178.27 Bcast:192.168.178.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:2F:A7:FA:25 inet addr:192.168.178.32 Bcast:192.168.178.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::211:2fff:fea7:fa25/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:16 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1252 (1.2 Kb) TX bytes:3301 (3.2 Kb) Interrupt:17 # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.178.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.178.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.178.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 # ll /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 400 2010-05-19 00:23 /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.info -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2010-05-24 18:54 /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.timestamp # cat /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.info DHCPSIADDR='192.168.178.1' IPADDR='192.168.178.27' NETMASK='255.255.255.0' NETWORK='192.168.178.0' BROADCAST='192.168.178.255' ROUTES='' GATEWAYS='192.168.178.1' DNSSERVERS='192.168.178.1' DHCPSID='192.168.178.1' LEASEDFROM='1274221437' LEASETIME='864000' RENEWALTIME='432000' REBINDTIME='756000' INTERFACE='eth0' CLASSID='dhcpcd 3.2.3' CLIENTID='01:00:0e:0c:d9:60:b2' DHCPCHADDR='00:0e:0c:d9:60:b2' now the network setup is like this (only STARTMODE got changed): # cat ifcfg-eth0 BOOTPROTO='dhcp' BROADCAST='' ETHTOOL_OPTIONS='' IPADDR='' MTU='' NAME='82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller' NETMASK='' NETWORK='' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='ifplugd' USERCONTROL='no' IFPLUGD_PRIORITY='20' -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
