Very Computer

Hello

I'm having problems getting my local NIC on my dual homed box to see
anything on its network.
I'm Running RedHat 6.1, doing IP masquerading(not very well at this point).
When my comp boots it gives [OK] when Bringing up eth0 adn eth1.  But I
still cant ping my win98 box on my local network or anything else for that
matter.

So I bring eth1 (local NIC)up and down again :


SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

I did a search on redhats site for "SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable"
the best answer i got was that  either I'm passing the wrong values to the
card (IP, NETMASK, BROADCAST), or I have some strange settings on the EPROM
of my Card.

So I took a look at my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
BROADCAST=192.168.xx.255
IPADDR=192.168.xx.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=192.168.xx.255
NETWORK=192.168.xx.0
ONBOOT=yes

Looks good to me what do you think????  Am I missing something??  Have I
gone stupid??

So i figure Its ok So I think it must be the Card, I have a 3c509 so I boot
up in DOS mess around with the BIOS Settings. reboot , and still have the
same problems.

So I've got a extra tulip PCI card. I use that instead.(making sure to
change the alias of the module) Still have the same problem...

Has Anybody seen this  before?

TIA

what does  'dmesg|grep eth' tell you?
and what is the output from 'ifconfig'?

Before you buy.

Hey, I had the same problem a few days ago. I have a SiS 900 PCI
Ethernet card. After a lot of tries to fix that, I found the problem
was IRQ conflict. My ethernet card was conflicting with the Sound.
Try to see at /proc/ioports (is that right? please, correct me, I'm
not using linux right now) and see if your card is conflicting with
some device.
Hope that helps.
