long story short we were in a brown out i lost my modem router and on board network card.. i have installed a new nic and i am having some issues getting the new card to work.. i am running ubuntu 10.4 server and the new nic card is a dlink dfe-530tx+ this is what i have done so far when i look at Code: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules it is empty so i removed it anyway Code: rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules i reboot and still no connection how to i configure the new nic to be eth0 this is the rest of what i know to look up but i dont know what i need to do to fix the issue ip addr Code: 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/lookback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000 link/ether fc:75:15:e3:4c;c2: brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff /etc/network/interfaces Code: # The loopback network interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback # the primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.x.xxx gateway 192.168.1.1 thanks kwick
Try ifup eth0 and then check it with ifconfig. If that does not work you will need to verify your chipset and load the firmware for it
