Re: [Gumstix-users] Trouble with ethernet

[rketcham <Ric...@gm...>]

Hey Matt, 
Plugged into the switch with a good ethernet cable and typing ifconfig, I
get:


# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 02:00:00:21:80:90
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
          Interrupt:131 Base address:0x300 DMA chan:8

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:2293 (2.2 KiB)  TX bytes:2293 (2.2 KiB)

The link links are blinking happily. However, when I try to ping another
computer (through the switch) I get:

# ping 192.168.167.1
PING 192.168.167.1 (192.168.167.1): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable

The interface configuration file seems to be fine:

# cd /etc/network/
# cat interfaces
# Configure Loopback
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface usb0 inet dhcp

iface bnep0 inet dhcp

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

iface eth1 inet dhcp

iface wlan0 inet dhcp

auto mwlan0
iface mwlan0 inet dhcp
        pre-up /sbin/iwconfig $IFACE essid any txpower 100mW



Thanks,
Rich
