Networking :: Connect Using An Ethernet Card Using Dhcp ?
Feb 15, 2010
My ISP finished some 'upgrades' on its infrastructure. The result is that I am having great difficulty in connecting to the internet.
I have 3 operating systems on my box - XP, Fedora 8 and Feota 12.
I connect using an ethernet card, using dhcp. In fedora 12, the ethernet card is controlled be networkmanager. After the ISP completed their upgrades, I was not able to connect. I tried to connect manually using
Code:
There was an error message -
Code:
I read the advice here: [url], and removed all but the important lines.
But even after that neither ifup eth0 or dhclient eth0 works.
In fedora 8, the ethernet card is activated by ifup eth0 in /etc/rc.local. I was able to connect on a couple of occasions, but that too stopped working. I tried both ifup eth0, dhclient eth0, and tried to use the gui( which fires the dhclient command), but none worked.
When I use windows, it takes about 2 minutes to get an ip (earlier it was immediate). Sometimes that doesnt work and I have to click on "repair" whereupon it starts working.

i already have an eth0 configured to automatically get its info from dhcp.
but i wanna configure eth1 to be able to serve dhcp and dns. i havent configured either dns or dhcp server on the server box since i have not configured the serving interface.
so far my interfaces file is:
Code:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Just installed Fedora 14 from the Live CD i686 on my Dell Inspiron 1521. I can't connect to the SpeedTouch 585 on either wireless broadcom card or the wired Ethernet card.
I can connect to it from the same Laptop on the Vista which is on dual boot on the same laptop.
Further confusing is that I ran Fedora 14 and connected to another SpeedTouch today.
Already checked the Channel on the wireless nic and it's on the same one as the SpeedTouch.

I own a D-Link DI-604 wired router and I've started getting some issues after Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 upgrade(Ubuntu 9.04 used to work OK!). The problem is that Ubuntu recognizes all my ethernet cards (see below), but I can only connect to the internet through eth1 not eth0 (which is my Windows default). If I try to plug the cable in eth0 nothing happens (at least not in Ubuntu 10.04 and 9.10).
Code:
lucas@lucas-desktop:~$ sudo lshw -C network
[sudo] password for lucas:
*-network:0

I've installed from the CD the Centos version 5.5. When I try to connect to Internet I can't because I received some errors. I've the Intel Corporation 82801CAM (ICH3) PRO/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Controller also a wireless slot (I've the wireless card DWL-G650+) When I turn on the pc and I go to "Ethernet Device", I see set: peth0 (Intel Corporation 82801CAM (ICH3) PRO/100 VE (LOM) ETHERNET CONTROLLER) and also set "Bind to MAC address": fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff I've set manually the IP address (I'm under router). Status is "Active" but can't go on the Net. When I change to "eth0 (Intel EtherExpress/100 driver)...sometimes become "Active" an other times said that the MAC address is different or to check the cable because can't find the IP. What can I do?

I have a Zotac Ionitx A-U. I can't get it to establish an internet connection with the wired ethernet within Ubuntu. The chip is detected, but trying to bring up the connection stalls out at trying to obtain a DHCP lease, like this:

I recently did some troubleshooting on a USB wireless dongle hooked up to my Mint distro. I need the USB wireless to access a home DSL wireless modem out to the Internet. The wireless DSL is on 192.168.0.1
I also have a 10/100 ethernet NIC in the computer, for non-wireless connections. The wired ethernet is all 192.168.1.1. I noticed in /var/log/syslog that there are numerous "DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67" messages.
Since eth0 has a hard-coded IP, I dunno why DHCP is trying deal with it. Can I turn off DHCP activity against eth0? How to do that?

I'm running an up-to-date Fedora 12 machine with the Gnome desktop (meaning with Network Manager). My network connection is a wired ethernet to a switch which then connects to a Netgear router. For some reason, this machine can't renew its leases with DHCP, so NetworkManager deactivates eth0, taking my machine off the network. I have to click Network Manager and enable eth0, which seems to work every time.
How can I fix it? Here are the relevant bits from /var/log/messages showing a failed DHCP request and then the successful renewal.
Code:
Aug 1 04:00:08 ironton dhclient[12452]: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 192.168.1.1 port 67
Aug 1 04:00:08 ironton dhclient[12452]: DHCPNAK from 192.168.1.1
Aug 1 04:00:08 ironton NetworkManager[1261]: <info> (eth0): DHCPv4 state changed reboot -> expire
Aug 1 04:00:08 ironton NetworkManager[1261]: <info> (eth0): device state change: 8 -> 9 (reason 6)
Aug 1 04:00:08 ironton NetworkManager[1261]: <info> Marking connection 'System eth0' invalid because IP configuration expired.

I have recently installed ubuntu 11.04 on my asus eeepc1005hab. And I've had problems with the wifi. I can connect via ethernet, but the wireless won't connect. I can see the connection, but my wifi never connects. I've tried many things but it still won't work.

can one ethernet card support multiple ip address? but i think it's very dangerous. if bad guy take many ip, other people can't get ip. "does one ethernet card take multiple real ip or multiple virtual ip(one real ip)?" if it takes multiple real ip, then how it works good?..

I just installed ubuntu for the first time, and I am not very familiar with everything yet but i am trying to connect to my university's wireless network and can't seem to figure it out. These are the directions they provide for linux users:
Use linuxconf Start linuxconf, go to Basic Host Information under Networking and Client Tasks.
Click Adapter 1, and select DHCP.
Click OK and Apply Changes.
Finally, reboot
I tried running linuxconf from the terminal but no such command exists, is there a similar one for ubuntu?

I'm trying to set up a shared Internet connection that had been broken by a previous update, I believe. Eth0 is connected to the Internet, whereas eth2 should be the connection going to my Roku set-top box. Under the nm-applet icon, an entry exists for "Auto eth0" for the first card, but there is nothing under the second card except "disconnected". How do I make a connection entry under my eth2 card so that I can share my Internet connection with my Roku box?

I using ubuntu 9.04. It was connected to the network with the manual IP Settings. Now the server settings have changed and we are supposed to move to Auto Assign IP (DHCP). All the windows machines are working fine, those are connected to network and using internet. But the ubuntu machine is not getting connected. Is there any any additional setting required for DHCP?

I am trying to connect to a WEP encrypted WLAN without using the DHCP server of the AP. (=giving myself a static IP)
So far i have tried:
Code:
But i cant even ping 192.168.1.1 (Network unreachable error). Is it possible that Ubuntu tries to use eth0 (which was connected to a similar /16 before) to ping 192.168.1.1 or is there somethign wrong with my commands?
Also will an AP allow access to the network although i don't have an IP from its DHCP server?

I am basically wanting to use my Ubuntu 10.10 computer as a router. Note: Before you say just get a router please note that I am poor/cheap. I have two ethernet connections and one wireless connection on my netbook. I want to share the internet connection that is going into one of the ethernet cards through the other ethernet card and the wireless card.
DSL-->1sr Eth --> 2nd Eth (currently works)
DSL-->1sr Eth --> Wireless Card (Adhoc) <--(connects with limited connectivity AKA no internet)
The 2nd Ethernet card already has working internet, but when I connect to the Wireless card (through an Adhoc network), it cannot get an IP (I believe).

I have just installed a generic PCI ethernet card into a fairly low powered system (Celeron 766MHZ, 512mb Ram, 40 Gb HDD, Generic sound and video). The card came with no drivers. I have since installed Ubuntu 9.10, and up to a point everything is fine and looks great. However when I connect an ethernet cable up to the PCI card (in the hope of connecting with the Internet), nothing happens. I am thinking that I need Ubuntu drivers for the PCI card ? or does Ubuntu 9.10 come with drivers and I need to go into the 'engine room' to sort it all out ?

I've had way too many problems with my network card under linux and I'm looking to buy a new one because the money is worth the lack of headaches. My project: I'm breathing new life into my old, old pentium 4 computer by running Kubuntu Server on it and using it as a little samba filedump.
So I don't want to spend a lot on an ethernet card -- this computer is no prize. I just want the cheapest, most out-of-the-box-compatible-with-no-configuration card I can buy.
I started on Newegg (sorted by price: [URL]....CE&PageSize=20 ), and I've heard that cards based on the RealTek 8129/8139 chip may be compatible/cheap but I can't seem to find out ahead of time what chip the cards are based on.

I've set up 10.04 Server so that I could install directly to a command line, due to the fact that Desktop was crashing during the install every time. The installation goes fine, except for the networking portion. DHCP fails every time I try it. So I set up a static IP as an alternative. Once installation completes, none of the network-oriented tools (ping, telnet) work. I've tried pinging my router and I get 'Destination Host Unknown'. This is true if I change to a DHCP oriented setup as well.
The router sees that the machine is there, as indicated by the slowly blinking connection light meaning that it's hooked up to *something* but there's no activity. Also, networking did work within Windows before I nuked it, so I know it has the ability to operate correctly. I'm at a loss, mostly due to my own newness and ignorance of how to start tackling this within this environment.

The on-board NIC on my machine died this morning, so I've just gone out and bought a replacement PCI card. The card has been recognised by Karmic, but it's not working. /var/log/messages says:
Code:
May 9 11:21:58 ian-desktop kernel: [ 2.082324] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded
May 9 11:21:58 ian-desktop kernel: [ 2.082334] r8169 0000:04:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
[Code]....
how I install the appropriate driver (noting that I have to sneakernet files across via usb stick), or any other diagnostics I should try?

I have a very strange problem with my Linux Router/Firewall machine where i keep losing my connection on the ethernet card.
I have installed a Debian 4 distro on a PC with 2 nics to create a router/firewall machine. On nic-1 i have connected the ADSL modem and on nic-2 a laptop for testing.
What i want is to build a DMZ with public IP addresses assigned to the servers in DMZ.
Schematic example:
Code:
We have a total of 16 Public IP's assigned to the ADSL modem from our ISP configured in routering mode. Unfortunately our new ISP does not support Bridge mode, otherwise i would not have this problem. (we had modem in bridge mode working fine with our old ISP, but they have stopped so we were forced to switch to another ISP. eth1 and eth2 both have public IP addresses from the modem set hardcoded in the /etc/network/interfaces on Linux pc and on my testlaptop in the DMZ (server-1) i have set another public IP (they all fall in the same network range) I have enabled IP forwarding on Linux router/firewall and for testing the firewall is set to allow all traffic.
When i try to ping the testlaptop in my DMZ from a remote machine outside in our datacenter i get no reply.
However when i run the following command: ip addr add xx.xx.xx.xx dev eth1 to assign the public IP i have chosen for the laptop to the inner nic (eth2) and then try to ping the testlaptop again from the remote machine it still does not reply ... but (and here is the most bizar thing)...
When i then run the following command: ip addr del xx.xx.xx.xx dev eth1 (where xx.xx.xx.xx is the ip of the testlaptop) and try to ping again from the remote machine then it seems to be working fine ... however only for a short time because then connection is lost somehow.

I recently installed CentOS on a really old computer and while most things are running well, I am unable to connect to the internet. Using a Damn Small Linux live CD I am able to connect just fine and was able to see that that 'hp100' was being used as the netcard driver. When I tried to set up the network card using that adapter (HP10/100VG ....) it gives me the following error code...

I have a dual boot netbook (Acer Aspire One D255) with Mint and Ubuntu 10.4. Using Mint, I was able to connect via the ethernet and install all updates including wireless driver.
In Ubuntu 10.4, regardless of what I do, I cannot connect via ethernet cable at home and at work.
How can I locate the right wireless driver? In the past, I have always been able to simply plug in the ethernet cable and get the necessary updates.

I have a home network, with an OpenWrt router operating successfully as DHCP server (using DNSMasq). I'm planning to install LinuxMCE on my main fileserver and in order for this to properly detect devices around the home it requires that it is the DHCP server. That would be fine except that I sometimes power down the fileserver (eg. when my in-laws sleep in the spare room where the server lives) and that would leave me with no DHCP which creates problems (when my in-laws want to get their laptop connected to the internet).
One answer is to get new in-laws which would be OK except that I'm still pretty keen on my wife. Alternatively is there any way to set up a fallback DHCP server ie. the router would check if there's a functioning DHCP server on the network (ie. the fileserver) and if it gets no response it will serve DHCP addresses itself.
