Hi,

I have newly installed Debian Sarge and am for all practical purposes a
newbie.

My desktop system is connected to my laptop via a D-link router (not
wireless) using DHCP.

The router is 192.168.0.1.

Assigned addresses should be in the range: 192.168.0,10-99

Both W98 and OS/2 see the entire network without problems.

Under Debian...

I have perused man and info on all of the topics I can think of.

Obviously, DHCPDISCOVER should be addressing 192.168.0.1.

What can I do to get the network running?

Hi Robert,

$> pump -i eth0

if you have questions check "man pump".....

Looks like he can't find anyhing...
I don't look at the dhcp-output at my startup, but is it normal that it
writes "255.255.255.255"?
what happens if you configure your interface manually?
1) pump -i eth0 # via DHCP
2) dhclient -d eth0 # via DHCP
3) ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 # completely manually

do you get an IP?

do you have entered the rwmurr manually?

Hi,

Thanks for the response. pump -i eth0 results in command not found.
Similarly, find / pump results in no such file or directory.

I'm following up on pump.

Hi,

Thanks for the response. As noted in my reply to Christian T, pump -i eth0
fails.

dhclient -d eth0 prints two lines referring to ppp0 then repeats the ifup
output and ends by printing: sleeping.

Just prior to checking the NG, I tried:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
the response was - no such device, or somesuch, but the route appeared in my
routing table as: rwmhomenet * 255.255.255.0 0 eth0 and I was able to ping
the router.

As for hosts, the rwmurr line was left over from installation and I have now
removed it. It now contains only 127.0.0.1 localhost

I've tried several possibilities in several of the files, but all except
hosts are now in their original state.

After booting, the routing table is empty. I have to add localhost manually.

Thanks again. Man pump returns the no such topic error message.

Hi, again.

I added the pump package to my system. When I execute: pump -i eth0, the
result is: operation failed.

If I have previously configured eth0 as 192.168.0.1, the entry in the
configuration table disappears along with the entry in the routing table.

There is no /etc/pump.conf at this time.

Thanks again.

I only have that error when my ethernet cable isn't connected, maybe
you'll check that

doesn't that collide with the router/dhcp?

You are being careless here. You just assigned your router's ip to
the machine. You did not ping the router. You pinged the machine
itself.

I would recommend you to unplug all of the devices from the router
then you only plug in your current machine. You may have assigned
your router's ip to some other devices.
