[SuSE Linux] Ethernet problems...
Greetings, all. I am currently unsuccessful in getting my Ethernet card set up correctly, or so it would seem. I am behind a firewall (or would be if I could talk to it), first of all. Here's the deal: I have an SMC EtherPower 10/100 ethernet card, which has the Tulip 21140 chip onboard. So, I've selected that, and all seemed just fine. However, I can't seem to reach anything. My firewall(Which is also my DNS, in this case) is not reachable, I cannot ping it at 11.1.0.1, nor can I access any other services. There is one anomalous setup message. It seems fairly harmless, though. At boot time, I get a string of messages like this: eth0: Digital DS21140 Tulip an 0xfc80, 00 00 c0 2b 40 c8, IRQ 5 eth0: Old format EEPROM on 'SMC9332DST' board. Using substitute media control info. eth0: EEPROM default media type Autosense. eth0: Index #0 - Media 10baseT (#0) described by a 21140 non-MII (0) block. eth0: Index #1 - Media 100baseTx (#3) described by a 21140 non-MII (0) block. Does this look unusual to anyone? I'll admit that I don't know what those last two messages mean... Anyway, I would be quite happy to provide any more info as needed. I'd like to get the system up and running (SuSE 5.3 2.0.35 stock kernel on a Gateway P4D-66) so I can impress my employers. I am currently interning at a networking firm that deals mainly with Cisco and Lucent networking stuff. Unfortunately, they are just about 100% NT for their NOSes. While they will probably stick to that for awhile (due to customer demand), I want to show them that Linux can be a viable alternative. It's hard to do so when you can't even get on the network ;-) I apologize for being so naive about all of this. My setup background is almost entirely on a dialup basis. The Ethernet setup is one big black box for me. Thanks in advance! -Chris -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/CC/MC d- s+:+ a-- C++ US P L++ E W++ N- o?

I use the SMC EtherPower 10/100 as well and I do not get that warning messages. try the following to see if the card its up and running correctly. dmesg | grep eth0 this should give you few information about the card, IRQ etc. with command ifconfig you should be able to see if your network IPaddress, broadcast etc are configured correctly. try also to check the coomands (route and netstat) for routing tables and network connection. Use the man pages they are there to help. Michael Chris Mayes wrote:

Just a shot in the dark. Does it work under dos/windows ?? inside the network ? You may need to first setup the card with some sort of dos utility for io address and irq and network type. Then when it is set you can bring linux up and test it with BareBones networking , with out bells and whic\sles , or even with a second linux machine that is none to work. Can you ping eachother , can you ifconfig, does it have the ipaddress and submask ?? Agian you may want to try under dos/win then agian in linux. Byt ifconfig is ipconfig in the win world. Hope this helps. Samy At 09:26 AM 12/8/1998 -0500, you wrote:
