eth0 or dhcpcd not working
Posted: Thu 05 Jun 2008, 03:10
I had my Puppy 3.01 NOP system working with a Belkin USB wireless adapter. During the time I was getting the WLan config worked out I did have eth0 working as well. But after using it only with a wireless connection for a couple of months, I can't get the eth0 connection to work now that I moved the computer to where I only have wired access.
Doing ifconfig eth0 up followed by ifconfig -a shows eth0 present with Link and UP status, small (1-4) RX & TX counts, but no IP address.
Then checking for and deleting any /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.* followed by dhcpcd -d eth0 seems to fail in getting an IP address. Furthermore, doing ifconfig -a at this point shows Link, NO UP status, larger (10-40) RX & TX counts, and still no IP address.
What should I look at here to find out what's failing ?
