[gentoo-user] network configuration problem

[gentoo-user] network configuration problem

[Chuanwen Wu]

Hi,everyone!

I am tring to install my gentoo on  my new machine.
And when I start my gentoo,the error is :

……
202.114.26.194
202.114.26.194 already taken on eth0
ERROR:Problem starting needed service net.eth0
           netmount was not started

My network is Brodcom Netlink(TM) Gibabit Ethernet，and I choose the
driver in the kernel:

Ethernet (1000 Mbit) --->
<M> Broadcom Tigon3 support

After I compile the kernel ,I can see the module tg3.ko,which I see it
when I use livecd to start my machine.

Other configuration：

# cat /etc/conf.d/net
config_eth0=( "202.114.26.194 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 202.114.26.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default gw 202.114.26.193" )

What is problem?
Thanks in advanced!

Hello

"already taken on" means the IP is already taken in the Network.
Another host with the same IP exist in your LAN.

Do you have to specify a fixed IP address?  Couldn't you use dhcpcd and let it 
obtain an address from the router?

But when i restart my machine and enter another OS(ubuntu),the network
is OK and the ip is the same:202.114.26.194?So I think this means
nobody else is using my this ip.

have you tried to ping 202.114.26.194 on your network?  Have you tried
manually configuring networking with ifconfig?

Yeah,I can ping the host out of my Lan now,just like
www.google.com.And now i can do emerge *** .Thank you!!!
But everytime I do
#/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start   or
#/etc/init.d/sshd start
the error is still all the same : MYIP already taken on eth0.
How can I fix the problem,now?

I have compile the driver into the kernel.And the result is just as
what i say above.

assuming you were just doing that or have by now, mind
sending /etc/conf.d/net ?

I have sent my /etc/conf.d/net in my first email.Just as below:

# cat /etc/conf.d/net
config_eth0=( "202.114.26.194 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 202.114.26.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default gw 202.114.26.193" )

After
#ifconfig eth0 MYIP
#route add default gw MYGW

I can connect the internet now,just like ping www.google.com.
But as I said ,every time I do
#/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
 the error appear: MYIP already taken on eth0.

And I also can't start sshd and ftp because they need to start net.eth0...

did you configure manually your ip for testing before starting net.eth0 ???
in this case, try

ifconfig eth0 down

and /etc/init.d/net.eth0

if work fine, just add it to default profile

rc-update add net.eth0 default

just an explanation:

ifconfig do up on network card, so net.eth0 try up too and fail cause
already up
they don't try down before up ... so

if you configure manually by typing command
ifconfig eth0 MYIP netmask MYNETMASK brd MYBRD
route add default gw MYGW

so .. eth0 is up and net.eth0 couldn't do up again
so ifconfig eth0 down shutdown the network card, and so all work fine after
:)

have fun

Thank you!Believe me,I have tried your advice.But the problem is still there.

Now ,I have find out the cause.It's still the problem of configuration
of the kernel.
I find a article in gentoo-wiki called HARDWARE_Intel_945G.And I
followed it ,then my network
problem disappeared,although my ethernet configuration is the same
with this article.

the addr of this article:http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Intel_945G

Still thank Oliver Schmidt,Mike,Dan and Strong Cypher,you taught me a
lot about how to config the network.
