| Post subject: | Biostar M7VIQ - Onboard Lan |
I'm using a Biostar M7VIQ board for my backend. The onboard lan will not work in R5, though it worked fine in R4. In the bios it is listed as a Via-3043, on Biostars site it is a VIA VT6103. I'm no very good with this sort of thing, and a bit of googling didn't help me very much, so does anyone have any ideas? Can you point me in the right direction? |

Try Code: modprobe via-rhine Then try to configure your network. If that works, Code: echo via-rhine >> /etc/modules

I have done the modprobe via-rhine. It still does not want to work. A few things I've noticed. 1) lspci -v shows the nic as a VT6102 2) the nic is sharing an IRQ with the Video card. they are both onboard and I can't change it. 3) I set the broadcast address to 172.22.1.255 (my internal IP scheme). Doesn't DHCP also broadcast on .255? Would this cause an issue? This box is static. How do I change the broadcast IP? I can ping the IP of the server from the server itself. It can not see anything else on the network at all |

sigh... You need to provide all information you can. Don't piece-meal... Don't come back and later state I tried that. Give us all the information up front. 1. When you say it doesn't work, what doesn't work? You cannot ping the IP from another system on the work? You cannot connect to other machines from the network? Are you using DHCP or statically assigning IPs? 2. You maybe able to go into your BIOS and assign IRQs. If you're not using serial ports, etc., disable and free up those IRQs. 3. A network broadcast is just that... If your board is 172.22.1.255 then that is what it should be. |

also dhcp does uses 255.255.255.255 which is the universal broadcast, so no probems with your settings there. |

Sorry, some of the was done after my original post. 1) The computer itself has no access to anything outside of itself, can't ping, can't perform dns lookups, no internet, nothing. No other systems can see the computer in question either. Most of the computers on my network are statically assigned, but some are DHCP'd. 2) In the bios I did just that, disabled all the Serial and Parallel ports. Told the bios not to assign IRQ's to things like USB etc. My last post was slightly wrong too, its the IDE and LAN that are sharing an IRQ right now. I did disable the IRQ assignment for VGA. (I'm at work trying to remember what I did this morning, hence the slight wrongness, and I can't SSH into the machine obviously). Unfortnately, there is no option to change the IRQ given to either the LAN or IDE in the bios. |

When you get home, do the following as root: Code: netcardconfig If possible, try DHCP first. What do you get? If it fails, try thisCode: vi /etc/lilo.conf Find the append like, it shoudl look something like this:Quote: append="apm=power-off nomce" Change it to this"Quote: append="apci=off nomce" Save and quit. Again, as rootCode: lilo -v Reboot the system and try the network configuration again.

Thanks cesman, I'll try this when I get home tonight and let you know how it goes. |

Bump for update. Tried the last things you suggested cesman, still the same though. I'm wondering if this is a common knoppix issue, gonna do some googling on the subject. Open to more suggestions though. EDIT: It is now working, It helps to actually turn of ACPI in the bios... Thanks for your help cesman. |

In the last post, I asked a question. I cannot proceed further without knowing more... |
