Problem with network card
by Simoncini, Matthew 11 Jul '01

11 Jul '01

Hi guys, This message is not actually a Linux based question, but is still "nix". I have recently installed Solaris 8 (for Intel) on a PC at work and am having problems connecting to the network. I think that the problem is related to the speed that the NIC is trying to use when connected to the LAN. I suspect this because the little green speed indicator for 100mb is illuminated (on the NIC) when the workstation is connected to the network jack. Here are some supporting details that I hope someone might find useful: Hardware: HP Vectra Vli8DT (733mhz) Solaris 8 for Intel 3com Etherlink XL PCI NIC ifconfig -a elxl0 flags=100843<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2 inet 172.17.24.76 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.17.24.255 ether 0:1:3:68:1b:f3 netstat -rn Routing Table: Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface -------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------ --------- 172.17.24.0 172.17.24.76 U 1 2 elxl0 224.0.0.0 172.17.24.76 U 1 0 elxl0 default 172.17.24.3 UG 1 0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 29 1897 lo0 If anyone can help or has similar experience, please give me a shout. I think I remember reading somewhere about a device driver file that can be changed to force the speed of the NIC. Anyone else ?? Thanks. Matthew

Determining speed of device...

Got a quick question... Other than looking in dmesg for what the driver reported the speed of the cable of the network device, does anybody know what utility or place in /proc that'll tell you what the speed of the cable connected to your machine is. Thanks, Tim.

Re: [Wlug] Any complaints about Charter cable modems?

Hi, I've had Charter for almost a year and have had no problems. Except my modem going last month.. that was the first real big problem. Like any ISP.. they have had a few outages here in Auburn, but they didn't last more than 2 hours. I had no problems getting my Linux (Mandrake)system working with it.

I am new to the Mass. area, but I use to be a Sr. Network Admin with Charter Communications. The question that I have is are you using Charter@home or Charter Pipeline? If it is Charter@home then you have to make some different changes in your setup. You have to add some domain information. It took a while to finally Linux DHCP to with with Charter@home but we were able to figure it out. If it is Charter Pipeline I will be willing to find you some contact information with one othe the Sr. Network Admins that I know. Tom > rpm -q pump > > pump is Red Hat's DHCP client.

I'm assuming you've made a minor typing mistake in the first sentence of the previous paragraph (otherwise very confusing) I'm assuming also that you're saying that the internal card boots OK and the card hooked to the cable modem is failing: - be sure the driver module for the cable modem eth card is loaded (e.g 'insmod 3c90x' or whatever for your card ) - be sure the 'pump' package in installed > >Any ideas?

Having a problem with RPM... # rpm -qa |grep mozilla mozilla-0.9.1-ximian.4 nautilus-mozilla-1.0.3-ximian.3 mozilla-0.9.1-ximian.4 # rpm -e mozilla-0.9.1 error: "mozilla-0.9.1" specifies multiple packages # rpm -e mozilla-0.9.1-ximian.4 error: "mozilla-0.9.1-ximian.4" specifies multiple packages Any ideas on how I can actually remove those two identical packages that somehow got installed? (mozilla does not in fact work correctly) Thanks, -Marc
