configuring a network card

[jon_8]

Hello everyone, can someone please help?
I've just installed a network card into a hp 9000 k class and i need some help to configure it!

What type of card have you installed? You'll need to install the relevant product for the card - this should update your kernel with the correct drivers. Once this is done, you can then start to tweak the configuration.

After the installation of driver,with ifconfig or SAM configure it.

Hi

The simple way to configure it is to use sam.
Go in "Networking and communication"->"Network
interface Cards". And go to the card and
Action->configure".
If you card is not detected you need to add
a driver for it to your kernel, refer to your
documentation, and go in "kernel configuration"
->driver

Hi,
#lanscan gives you which NIC is configured(lan0,lan1.....).
#ifconfig lanx.
(man ifconfig)
#ifconfig lanx up.

Hi,

1.You may use lanscan to fetch which nic it is ( consider lan0 for an example purpose ).
2. You may issue the command ifconfig like the following example ( you have to midify each value with your net specific values ):

ifconfig lan0 inet 137.190.112.110 up netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 137.190.112.255

3. Edit file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and modify the following :

INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan0
IP_ADDRESS[0]=137.190.112.110
SUBNET_MASK[0]=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[0]=137.190.112.255
INTERFACE_STATE[0]=up
ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]=default
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]=137.190.112.111
ROUTE_COUNT[0]=1

You had to check the following for your own net configuration :
SUBNET_MASK
BROADCAST_ADDRESS
ROUTE_DESTINATION
ROUTE_GATEWAY

Patch PHNE_21883 is recommended too.
