i tried the calculator to turn it into hex, but it wasnt giving me what i thought was correct

i did get B, but i thought that the 0 in 0xA would be different 🙂

at least i know now 😛

AND, IT IS RUNNING!!!!!! 🙂🙂🙂

the device is known as lo, my 3com is known as eth0.

ok, what next? i have no clue as to configuring it, maybe ill check those guides on configuring 2 nics, just tell me how to initialize it
 
Err, no. lo is loopback. If you have two NICs one will be eth0 and the other will be eth1.

You should have something in Mandrake to configure the network. However it can certainly be done via the command line as well, which is pretty much the only way I do it.

To do that you can do /sbin/ifconfig eth1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx up. The first set of dotted quads is the IP address of the card and the second set, as you can see, is the netmask. For example, on my firewall the card the connects to my interior network would be configured as: /sbin/ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up. That will bring up that NIC with that IP address and netmask.

Try that and see if it works. Then I'll point you to the docs on how to configure the module so that this happens automatically.
 
WHOOPS! 😱

uhhhhh, i think i should just reinstall 😱

i kinda messed up my network settings and think a reinstall is in order 😛

also, what is NIS? i always get errors concering that wether it is loading up the service, stopping it, or fixing network settings using netconf
 
NO! Bad, bad, bad. This is NOT Windows. You are not allowed to go "backwards." 🙂

Trust me, anything you've done you can undo. No big deal and...that's how you learn.

NIS is Network Information Service. You don't need it. So if it's running just do something like /etc/rc.d/init.d/nis stop
 
hahahaha, i wish i checked this post before i continued with the next step in the install, format 🙁

oh well, i didnt have anything really on the linux install, so im not losing anything. but anyways, when i was trying to configure the cards, it wouldnt allow me because it would mess up on an NIS error

i will stop it on the new install, do i have to do it everytime? or just once?

also, what is it for and what does it do?
 
No biggee then.

You can read all about the exciting world of NIS here: NIS - HOWTO 🙂

Oh yeah! One of the last things the install routine should ask you to is configure which services you want to start at boot. Just uncheck NIS.
 
in response to email:

thanks, i will disbale them as soon as i get a chance.

ok, well i guess that it installed the module properly, but when i converted 320 to hex, it gave me a different number then what i put in

i put io=0x320

did i do that wrong?
 
aight my man 🙂

i havent heard from you lately, but just let me know how i can setup my comp so that you can get access to it. i would appreciate it if oyu pmed me the details 🙂
