dhcp problems with loopspk and redhat 7.2

dhcp problems with loopspk and redhat 7.2

[Brent Harding]

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.

Start by doing an lsmod. 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

Wow, don't I need to specify a host or dhcp server or something to get it
to work? 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.

dhcp will discover your gateway.

You'll need dns in /etc/resolv.conf.

Re: dhcp problems with loopspk and redhat 7.2

[Brent Harding]

That could be my problem, maybe. I'm sure it's dynamic too, not sure. 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.

Re: dhcp problems with loopspk and redhat 7.2

[A. R. Vener]

If you are using dhcpcd to acquire
dns addresses, they will be placed into /etc/resolv.conf.dhcp

You'll need to copy this to /etc/resolv.conf to pick up
the new addresses.   It may also be sufficient to make
/etc/resolv.conf a symbolic link to /etc/resolv.conf.dhcp
