[Astlinux-users] No Network Connection in AstLinux

[mark w. <ma...@we...>]

Hi,
I am just getting started with AstLinux 0.4.3 and the system boots but does=
=20
not have networking.
I look at ifconfig and eth0 and lo are there but there is no IP assigned. T=
hat=20
is there is no 'inet addr'.


I see in the messages that a dhcp lease was sought at least three times bef=
ore=20
the system timed out and moved on in its booting.
It is an Athlon 64 bit computer.

The router is set up to issue IP's via dhcp and does so with other computer=
s=20
on the net.

Any advice as to what to do?
I also tried to go to /etc/network/interfaces to manually configure the=20
interface but that file is not in AstLinux.
Is there a way to manually configure the IP address on my host?

If tried booting with and without the USB flash. I was able to configure th=
e=20
USB flash using genkd and rebooted but that did not yield a network address=
=20
or connection.

Thanks
Mark
