Mandrake & cablemodem woes
newguy
I have 2 NIC's, I think eth1 is the one connected to my CM, cos in winXP its
LAC 2, the other is not being used.
The NICs are Realtek RTL8139 PCI Fast Ethernet.
ifcfg eth0
Device=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
NEEDHOSTNAME=yes
ifcfg eth1
Device=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes
NEEDHOSTNAME=yes
ifcfg-lo
Device=lo
IPADDR=127.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes
NAME=loopback
Any help appreciated.

that device on eth1 is incorrect.
You have to find out which device is connected to the CM.
if you do a /sbin/ifconfig you could check the HWaddr
against the windows command ipconfig/all
I would add
BROADCAST=255.255.255.255
to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and eth1
you might do a
ls -al /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth* to see if you ever received a lease
if so cat the file to get dns values an put them in /etc/resolv.conf
Example: cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 204.127.202.449
nameserver 216.148.227.628
search attbi.com
here is mine for comcast.net, I forced my hostname for my node.
cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
IPADDR=12.209.207.213
NETMASK=255.255.254.0
NETWORK=12.209.0.0
BROADCAST=255.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes
and cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=yes
DHCP_HOSTNAME="x1-6-00-a0-cc-21-b8-9"
HOSTNAME=fw.home
DOMAINNAME=home
GATEWAY=12.209.206.1
GATEWAYDEV=eth1
serice network restart to test your changes
tail -100 /var/log/messages to see error messages (maybe)

Don't get me wrong, but I don't know how to do what you want. Instead, let
me offer advice:
Instead, buy a router and connect everything to it. DHCP or static IP, etc.
I find it a LOT easier to use a router to distribute and route traffic than
linking all my machines in series like that.
Besides, it's a lot easier to maintain. Fewer cross-platform woes. That
and, if you get a router with a firewall, increased security. No more need
to run resource-hogging software firewalls.

Well, I do not know why you have the ethX:n devices or how you are
hooked up.
for me
ls /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo
Here is something to play with:
eth0 and eth1 Network Interface Cards (nic) are in my firewall box (fw).
eth1 numbers can be left out if you do not have one.
IF you have just two systems, you might be able to use
a crossover cable.
Except for 192.168.x.x (Private network) numbers
these ip addresses are for this discussion.
You change the 24.x.x.xx to your ISP numbers.
Use the 192.168.x.x so your internal lan/private network routes correctly.
DHCP_HOSTNAME is your node name given to you by your ISP
24.x.x.xx is your ISP assigned address.
ggg.ggg.ggg.1 is your ISP gateway/router.
I borrowed hysterion's (on MindSpring Enterprises) drawing

If the above breaks your system, it's yours and you keep both pieces.
Practice safe computing. Backup the file before you change it.
Do a, man command_here or cat command_here, before using it.

Don't need one, I am not on a network, think I'll remove the other NIC.

I took my unused NIC out and still no joy.
SOLUTION
I removed Mandrake and installed Redhat 9 and success.
I have internet access, my USB MS mouse works and so does my Epson printer -
all of which refused to work in Mandrake :)

The point of the newsgroup is to help people that choose Mandrake, not
convince people to go elseware (IE advertisement, or spam as it's better
called). Telling someone to just go do something else does not always help
them out. It more or less gives them the "in your face" expression.
Kind of like if you bought a new Ford Explorer and am having huge amounts of
trouble with it. And I came along and said "You should have bought a
Blazer". - Well, great, thanks a lot, that really helps.
