Klinux doesn't find DHCP

Tried out klinux for 1st time, just so I can say I know it 😉

Took 2.1D as I have RTL8139 all around, and a DHCP. But upon boot it doesnt find DHCP server, tries several times, and cancels.
Dnetc runs fine, but of course it doesn't find my proxy, as I cant ping any station from klinux (says something like no network).
The stations I tried on are usually networked ok of course.
The DHCP runs off a 3com lanmodem internet isdn gateway, maybe the pb is it's linux incompatible, though I'd think DHCP is quite an universal standard.

I'll try out the non-DHCP version to see more...
 
LeBlatt, I've never had any trouble with that version (same network chipset on almost all my cards😉) but then my DHCP server is the evil one that comes with ICS 🙁

What I do to get the ip to be what I want is this:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.XXX 255.255.255.0

where XXX is the last octet of the ip I want of course. Now I've never had to set the host mask, so it's really just a guess that the syntax for hostmask is like that, but if it isn't I'm sure someone will come and correct me. 😎 I know however that the ip is set manually that way. Try it and maybe it works 😉

I know you'll love klinux once you get it up, you can't beat either the speed or the stability with any other combination I've tried at least 🙂

Hmmm...Klinux-2D is the right one for the Realtek nics and 686 CPUs.

Make sure your bios is set for "PNP OS = NO".
I've noticed when "PNP OS" is set to YES, the nic will show an IRQ of 0, and you'll get a message that the nic might not work.
Klinux is NOT a PNP OS, it gets it's motherboard info and IRQ assignments from the bios.

If DHCP times out, just run the "netconfig" script manually after logging in.
Assign what ever IP you want as long as it's different then any other on the LAN.
Of course you need to use the same subnet mask as the pproxy's.
 
Kilowatt,
That's exactly what I have to do to get the HP Vectras at work to run Klinux. I was getting that IRQ Zero error, so I went into the BIOS and set it to Non PNP. Worked like a charm after that! 😀

2 Klinux PCs up, more to come. 😀
 
I guess I should add a little "Motherboard Setup" for Klinux.

I always turn off the IDE controllers, the serial & lpt ports and disable USB, when I setup a Klinux node.
Basicly I just have the floppy controler as the only things enabled in the bios.
 
Ok, PNP was on. I guess that messed up.
Anyway, I just wanted to test it out for a day or two, as I have no unused machines over here. I'll try the manual config next.
