Thanks, Jeff. I'll give it a shot! It'll be later as I am at school right= now. Thanks again for your help. :-)Mike(-: ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeffrey Pyne Sent: 1/30/2004 12:14:33 PM To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Subject: RE: splendid!

When you = run 'lsmod | grep e100', do you see it? Does it say "unused" next to it? Li= ke this: e100 58296 0 (unused) If so, this probably isn't the right module for your hardware. If the module is listed and it doesn't say "unused," it looks like you're in business. > bmike1@bmike1:/mnt/sda5/Downloads/ethernet.driver/e100-2.3.33/src$ ifconfig eth0 255.255.255.1 > SIOCSIFADDR: Permission denied > SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied This is just telling you that you need to be root to configure the interface. Which you already figured out.... > bmike1@bmike1:/mnt/sda5/Downloads/ethernet.driver/e100-2.3.33/src$ sudo ifconfig eth0 255.255.255.1 > SIOCSIFADDR: Invalid argument Okay, I think this is just complaining about the IP address that you trie= d to assign to this interface. I don't think 255.255.255.1 is a valid address. If the module wasn't loaded or you loaded the wrong one, you wo= uld probably get a message like this instead: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth0: unknown interface: No such device Try this command instead: $ sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1=20 $ sudo ifconfig eth0 up See if you get any errors. If not, run this: $ ifconfig eth0 You should get output like this: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:DE:AD:BE:EF inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:955624 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:101261 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1553 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:79929759 (76.2 Mb) TX bytes:7955572 (7.5 Mb) Interrupt:10 Base address:0xdc00 If so, it looks like you're in business. Since you don't have any other machines on your network, there's not a whole lot more you can do. But y= ou should be able to ping your own IP address: $ ping 192.168.1.1 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) from 192.168.1.1 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=3D1 ttl=3D64 time=3D0.231 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=3D2 ttl=3D64 time=3D0.134 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=3D3 ttl=3D64 time=3D0.139 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=3D4 ttl=3D64 time=3D0.148 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=3D5 ttl=3D64 time=3D0.143 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=3D6 ttl=3D64 time=3D0.145 ms ^C --- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics --- 6 packets transmitted, 6 received, 0% loss, time 4998ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev =3D 0.134/0.156/0.231/0.036 ms HTH.
