I just realized that since I reinstalled slackware on my laptop, the machine is not obtaining an IP from my router during the startup proccess like it used to do before.
Now I see something like:
Code:
dhcpcd: eth0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd: eth0: timed out
dhcpcd: eth0: waiting 8 sec
and it fails. After I login in KDE, I need to manually renew (or acquire) an IP. Issuing the command

it says waiting for carrier and it just time out, im wondering why i read somwhere that its not working good with slackware 13.1
For some reasons, dhcdpd wouldn't connect eth0 at startup and it takes 10 to 15 seconds of timeout. Since I don't really care because I use wifi, I would like to remove auto dhcpcd at startup but I can't fint it anywhere in /etc/rc.*.

The machine is a single connection to the internet through a cable modem. I moved the hard drives over, and found that dhcpcd would not work with this board in either Slackware 13.0 or 13.1 (after updating). I tried both the Gigabit onboard Lan, an old PCI ethernet card and installing the most recent version of dhcpcd. No luck. Dhcpcd would negotiate the lease with my cable modem, assign an IP address. But after that the process stalled. The internet was unreachable, and no nameservers were printed in /etc/resolv.conf. Manually killing dhcpcd and entering: "dhclient -4 eth0" got me on the internet without a problem. As this appears to be a lingering problem with dhcpcd, I am going to try to use dhclient permanently. Has anyone else moved over to using dhclient? If you have modified your startup scripts in /etc/rc.d to use dhclient.

I am on slackware 13.37 using broadcom-sta and wicd from /extra. Every so often, sometimes really often, my wireless resets it's connection. The only common thread I can see in the system log is at the same time I get 4 messages that "dhcpcd not running"

I've locked the server MAC address to a specific IP in the router and set the DHCP renewal times to the longest possible times.

I know questions of the form "wireless not working on <blank>" abound, but here is another! I can't cut and paste since I don't have a connection on the computer I am having trouble with but I will paraphrase the best I can.
lspci output:
0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel ... PRO/wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
lsmod output (relavent line):
cfg80211 33680 3 iwlagn, iwlcore, mac80211
iwconfig shows wlan0 up and running, and iwlist scanning shows the router. I used to be able to just run dhcpcd wlan0 and connect, but now I get a
"timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response"
Same deal running /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf (which might be the new way Slack connects to things).
Not sure if it's important, but I have a little indicator light on my laptop that tells me if wireless is running. Before I try dhcpcd, the light is on. After it times out, the light goes out and I have to redo everything (ifconfig wlan0 up etc....) in order to get the light back on.
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:

I am wondering, what are the merits of staying with an LTS release versus the renewal of the system by upgrading to a new release? Certainly, staying with an LTS release isn't going to be more or less dangerous than upgrading to a new release that specifically addresses security issues. With Lucid Lynx coming up this spring, should I try sticking it out until the LTS after Lynx, or keep upgrading regularly?

View 1 Replies View Relatedwe have a problem with dhcpcd at boot time on any openSUSE version from 11.0 to 11.3. It seems that a number of workstations never send out DHCPDISCOVER or DHCPREQUEST at boot time, we have verified this with packet dumps. The dhcp client progress bar is displayed on the console but eventually times out, goes into background and the system continues booting.This is a problem because the timeout takes a long time and users have to wait. Sometimes the display manager is even started but users cannot using LDAP authentication. Eventually these systems just continue to use their old lease and networking works.Curiously, when we do a network restart after boot, the clients send DHCPDISCOVER/-REQUEST normally, we only have this problem at boot time.
On the server side we're using ISC dhcpcd-1.3.22pl4-223.13 on SLES 10 SP2. I have read about others who had the same problem, they switched from dhcpcd to dhclient. I have also tried this, but for us dhclient is not an option for a number of other reasons. Another thing I have tried is setting DHCLIENT_SLEEP ("Some interfaces need time to initialize. Add the latency time in seconds")o two minutes to give the interface time to initialize.nfortunately this didn't change anything.

A couple of months ago, I replaced a broken down modem for my DSL connection. I've learned time and again that Verizon is completely of no help to Linux customers, and so any problems I ever experience, I''m pretty much on my own. These days, I am running no windows whatsoever. Previously, when I got a new modem I would run verizon's windows software to set up the modem for DHCP, and then any distro I chose to run wo0uld connect automatically.
Well, without the ability to run windows, it's a lot more problematic. I have only managed to get some debian-based distros online by running an application called pppoeconf or pppoe-config. No slackware, and since a few months ago I released my own live CD that's based on Slax, this is embarassing and frustrating to say the least. DNS, pppoe, TCP/IP... this is not my thing.
Now I've got Slackware 13 installed, and I've been running netconfig and pppoe-setup, and according to the results I get when I run pppoe-status, I should be online :
And here is where I was supposed to have posted the results of my non-error messsage, but I don't seem to have saved it from the last time I was loggen into slackware. Looks like I'll have to do it again

Basically, according to their support tech, port 3306 is blocked. I dont really understand because I have MySQL DB server running and listening to 3306 on that machine and no problems at all... However, they recommended to try:
Code:
telnet localhost 3306
or
Code:
telnet <machinename> 3306
but it resulted in:
Code:
telnet connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
If I understand correctly , the Alfresco support is correct, 3306 is indeed blocked. But how come mysql is running fine then? How can I unblock this port? And finally, I need to specify that I dont have ANY type of firewall or anything like that because this machine is not connected to the web... So if I dont have a firewall , what is blocking the port?

I have tried to get my wireless network setup for 5 nights now, with the same results. Everything in my system automatically installs during the initial installation, except wireless, which I have run into in the past with older pc's. This install however (from 13.1 install dvd) seems to not cooperate properly with the rest of my computer. After installing wicd, I attempt to connect to the wireless network. Immediately after, wicd shows in the activity bar 'flushing dns' and syslog spews out two notifications at the lower right. That's it. From there it hangs and will not terminate cleanly. If I log out from there, I cannot get back into my x window system. Startx merely creates an Auth file and fails to load, saying that it's already active on 0. Then, if I run shutdown -r now, the system only goes as far as disconnecting remote drives and then hangs as well. I have to perform a hard boot at that point. The only thing that circumvents this, is to installpkg remove wicd. After wicd's removal, then I can shutdown -r now and reboot, reenter X and everything acts normal - until a wicd install. Any thoughts, suggestions, anything?

I just installed and configured Slackware on an old computer I am using as a router.
The internet works fine on the slackware box (router) but all of the computers behind it are having issues. When browsing, some websites work perfectly fine, while others are slow to load, and a few don't load at all. I'm not really sure where to start on diagnosing this, so any help would be appreciated.
Also whenever I restart the computer, I have to use this command before the DHCP server will start. What do I have to do to get it to start up with the computer?
Code:
After installing Slackware 13 and configuring it as a router, I'm getting very slow internet speeds on my clients. It takes forever to connect to a website or downloading 100mb bin file also takes forever. On the Slackware box the speed is fine though. When I boot from my previous Slackware 12 drive, the speed on the clients is ok again.
I have compared config files from my old and new installation and haven't found a difference. from other posts I learnt that disabling IPv6 by adding it to the blacklist could help. But this didn't help me either. I have also compared a traceroute on both installations. This also doesn't show a (big) difference.
The only difference I have found is that in my Slackware 13 setup the following modules are loaded while with my old Slackware 12 lsmod is empty.
Code:
The only thing I can think of is a missing option in the kernel. I have used the huge-smp from the Slackware DVD, assuming this would have all the important stuff enabled by default. It this right?

eth1: 3COM 3C2000 Gb NIC, connected to cable modem (dhcp)
