SUBJECT: RE: eth0 configuration file & detailsSounds like your editor is not on the ball - if you're editing these files on the PS2 you can either use vi ("vi /etc/sysconfig/network", then type "i" to enter text, then hit Escape then ":wq" to exit vi), or mgedit to run the Gnome Text Editor (nicer, but uses X, sometimes not convenient).
You could also "touch /etc/sysconfig/network" to create the file, then use your preferred editor to enter the text. Vi generally creates the file once you save it.
No text file endings (such as .txt, .dat) is required, the file names are as listed, so you need to edit/update with the details provided in the earlier posts:
/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/resolv.conf merely requires the following:
search localdomain
nameserver 192.168.0.1
To make it work with a typical ADSL router (that acts as a gateway/DNS server on the private IP network 192.168.0.x as 192.168.0.1).
If you give some more details as to what your configuration is at the moment that would help.
Generally I assume most people are using the stock PS2 Linux installation (2.2.1), in general some network adaptors (for example, my combo Ethernet + Modem adaptor) are not 100% compatible with the default installed smap.o drivers, however only can tell if the settings are correct but the Ethernet refuses to initialise and connect properly. |
