I am on a network in the dorms at college here. Windows works fine online,
(however, barely much faster than a modem when my friend's system downloads
about 10 times my transfer rate). I try to boot linux up, and get dhcpcd
timed out in loopspk, and redhat just hangs at bringing up eth0, probably
unable to get the dhcp connection. I once could use linux on the network
awhile ago, but I goofed up the upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2 and had to
recompile my kernel. How do I get linux on the net so I can go online with
it? I wanted to see if I might be able to pull an iso image down before the
end of school at which time I got to go back to the dreaded dialup.

Is the driver for your ethernet card loaded? If not, you'll need to add it to /etc/modules.conf. If you have to add it, don't forget to do: depmod -a Then, load your card with modprobe. Next, are the settings for eth0 correct? Look at /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. If you make changes in these files, do: service network restart On Sun, 19 May 2002, Brent Harding wrote: > I am on a network in the dorms at college here.

The network card does work, and it loads up, as I set things up on install, as I upgraded over the net and used it before, but it's been awhile since I've played around with it, since my kernel had to be recompiled with speakup because I used to get a ton of modprobe errors, but those have since gone. I heard some servers need a host specified, but windows never did require special set up, just set to obtain an IP automatically and I was online.

I know that for my IP address, I end up getting 192.168.1.x, can change when I restart. For some reason, every protocol seems to function properly in windows though, nothing seems to be blocked, probably done this way to conserve ip's.
