Hi all those brave souls that
contribute to helping in K12ltsp !
:-) This is just getting too wierd! K12ltsp server V3.1.2 updated via apt-get update & apt-get upgrade NIC cards: SIS900 Realtek 8139 Intel pro SMC 8139 3Com905 3Com595 When the system starts up Kudzu will "see" one of two NICs (The server has one NIC for external communications - cable modem & one for internal - local lan for thin clients) that NIC will be configured either via DHCP for external or static for internal, but the second card will have a "not present" message. This will happen with any combination of two cards ! Now this is where it gets strange, the card that is "seen" by Kudzu and configured will NOT communicate but the one that is labeled as "not present" works fine ! however only one card can ever be made to communicate! Temporary work-around; Remove one NIC, let Kudzu configure the one left in the system as eth1 dhcp for external communications. Once the server has booted run NEAT verify that the card is properly configured (DNS, Gateway, etc) save the configuration, test the connection then shutdown the server. Insert the second NIC, start the server, DO NOT CONFIGURE WITH KUDZU ! let the server boot and manually config the second NIC -> ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.130 up . Do NOT run any NIC config program, ie NEAT, NETCONFIG and the communications are fine ........ until you reboot, then everything goes and I have to redo the entire process. Considering that I have done this several times with the same results with every combination of NICs it would appear that there is some kind of a bug in Kudzu / NEAT / ? Anyone else that has encountered this problem or better has some way of "fixing" it would be greatly appreciated. norbert |
