RE: internet w/ dhcpcd
Well here is some info that you might be inerested in:
Note that the way I set this up is by following the
mini-dhcpcd howto. It claimed Debian would configure
everything out of dpkg, so maybe I had somethin messed
up earlier, I never configured the computer for inet
use on install, but I don't know if that even matters.
kernal is 2.2
I used to be able to ping lo and it worked fine, now I
get:
ping: sendto: Operation not permitted
ping:wrote erdos 64 chars, ret=-1
etc, etc ...
when I ping my address ( ping 24.217.273.166 ) I get
56 data byes
neighbour table overflow
ping:sendto: No buffer space available
ping:wrote 24.217.12.166 64 chars ret=-1
neighbour table overflow
etc, etc ...
when I say: "ping erdos" (erdos is the i386's name )
it is the same as "ping lo".
I was getting other ping errors but right now I can't
recreate them. Are you supposed to be able to do a
ping eth0 ??? b/c I can't.
route -n yields:

Maybe I assigned wrong io ports and/or irq for card, but
don't think this is the case...
At the end of dmesg there is
eth0: 3c509 at 0x300 tag 1, 10baseTport, address 00a024 74 4b f8, IRQ 10.

eth0: Setting Rx mode to 1 addresses.
these last three lines are repeated about 50 times with different values for
I, PROTO, and L. With I going to 0 PROTO cycling btw 1 and 17. and L cycling
btw 53 and 84.
Hope this is sufficient to hammer something out.
Perhaps what might help me most is something like
linuxconf. Does such a package exist for Debian?
You may have noticed that I obviosly don't get the
big picture as to what is supposed to be in place
for all this to work. I have been cutting & pasting
config files for a while and with that not working
I must consult a higher authority.
It almost seems correct, any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Can you ping your ethernet card? How about your gateway? What does
% route -n
tell you?

You can always check to see if pump is still there, using dselect or
dpkg.

-----Original Message-----
I just installed the dhcpcd package on my i386 and
everything seems fine right up to the point where I
want to test the connection.
I type: telnet ritix.slu.edu
I get: Host name lookup failure
I type: telnet 165.134.123.3
I get: Trying 165.134.123.3...
and it keeps trying until it times out. Where could the
problem be ? It seems the system reconizes my
ethernet card, and it even seems I get a connection to
my provider.
pump came w/Debian install, but after putting on
dhcpcd I assumed it would have been neatly removed.
Any ideas where the problem is ?
