Non-wireless networking problemForum: Networking Topic: Non-wireless networking problem started by: TonyP Posted by TonyP on Sep. 26 2007,17:38
My networking (wired) is not working at all. I have given the same network setup as I have in Ubuntu:IP address: 192.168.1.8 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 Broadcast: 195.168.1.255 Name server: 192.168.1.1 I can ping the local host but no other machines on the network. DCHP does not work even though my router has DCHP enabled. Does anyone have an idea what is wrong or can suggest further diagnostics. Tony Posted by curaga on Sep. 26 2007,18:33
Maybe your network card isn't supported; pinging localhost doesn't need a net card anyway.Try "ifconfig -a"; does it list eth0? What is the error when you try to ping something? Posted by TonyP on Sep. 26 2007,21:55
I pinged local host just to prove that tcp was up and running. Here is the full listing from ifconfigeth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:EC:7F:59:CF inet addr:192.168.1.8 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x6c00 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:92 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:92 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:7337 (7.1 KiB) TX bytes:7337 (7.1 KiB) resolv.conf has the following line in it: nameserver 192.168.1.1 By the way I am using DSL 4.3.4. The network card is reported by Ubuntu as Realtek RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ Tony Posted by TonyP on Sep. 26 2007,21:57
Oh, and pinging the other host gives 'host unreachable' of course

I use rtl8139 without issues. Perhaps an irq issue? Check with dmesg | grep -i irq or cat /proc/interrupts |
