rh 6.2 box on nt network

[trommaster]

i have a rh 6.2 box which i have set up at school.
I want to connect it to the NT network that we have.
i have the correct smbmount stuff etc, but have realised i don't have eth0 setup.
is there any _real_ easy way to set it all up??
thanks

That really depends on the NIC in question, and whether or not you have the necessary network info.
If the card's supported and you have the necessary info(IP, hostmask, yada yada) you can prolly have it up an running in under a minute.

[trommaster]

i think i have all that info, ill have to check

[trommaster]

right, heres the info:
ip by dhcp from server foo
2 servers - foo and bar
foo=server
bar=net gateway
domain is domain
netmask 255.255.255.0
NIC uses the NE2000 driver under doze.
i have tried to set it up, but when i do ifup eth0 it returns:
Delaying eth0 initilisation
i think thats about it, if ya need any more info, ask
thanks

NIC uses the NE2000 driver under doze.

Is this an ISA NIC?

Jim H

[trommaster]

yes it is.
the network wizard thinggie has a NE2000 PCi driver in it, but no isa

[JimH]

You are going to have to specifiy the IRQ and IO setting for an ISA NIC

In /etc/conf.modules, if I rememebr right. RH 6.2 was a long time ago.

alias eth0 ne
options ne irq=x io=xxxx

[trommaster]

ah, that makes sende.
ill try it when i get back to school (its the holidays at the moment) ;D ;D

[trommaster]

any idea how to find the io and irq??
or will i have to have a look for myself

[JimH]

Some of those old ISA nic's have jumpers on the card to set the IO and IRQ might try that first.

What is the make/model of the card? A google search might turn up the default settings for the card.
