hi i installed RHEL4 on my lenovo 3000 G410 laptop...... when i run the command "IFCONFIG " it is not displaying my MAC ID....... is it that RHEL4 did not detect the ethernet port please some one help me...... Thanx in advance
falko thankx a lot for ur timely reply...... i dont know what it is giving...... tis is wat i got when i gave the command...... Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:4072 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4072 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:3472062 (3.3 MiB) TX bytes:3472062 (3.3 MiB)
It shows your loopback device only. This probabyl means that the system did not recognize your ethernet card, probably because of a missing driver. The easiest solution might be to use another distribution.
falko.....i dont have tat chance.... i need to install some tool on my machine.......for which i needed rhel 3 r 4..... if rhel4 could not detect........i guess tat rhel3 also cant do tis..... is there any other alternative???????
tat tool is comaptible with only rhel4 n lower versions centos............is it similar to rhel???????
Otherwise, try this command (as root): modprobe r8169 Your network card is a Realtek RTL8100CL, which should be supported with that driver. Paul
How can I get my ethernet cable to work in my computer? I have a Dell 530S desktop and when we plug in an ethernet cable to connect to the internet it does not accept it. The internet does work when connected to the modem with the USB cable. Is their an easy solution for this? ________________ gujarati matrimonial
What do you mean "does not accept it"? Do you get any error messages? Do you use a router (with DHCP enabled)? What's the output of Code: ifconfig ?
I have a : 10/100 Mbits/sec LAN subsystem using the Realtek RTL8100C Ethernet LAN controller onboard lan intel desktop board D865GSA I did the modprobe r8169 commend and nothing happened. Any other ideas how to get nic working? I am a complete noob so please explain accordingly.
im pretty sure from the few threads i have read. I have a Intel D865GSA motherboard. The specs say it has a integrated 10/100 Mbits/sec LAN subsystem using the Realtek RTL8100C Ethernet LAN controller.
