TC CorePlus 4.2 - Ethernet Inoperable
« on: January 02, 2012, 01:49:19 PM »
I just replaced TC 4.1 with TC CorePlus 4.2, and have Ethernet connected via a Patch cable.

ifconfig shows eth1 available, but I can't ping, or connect to the Internet on a system that
worked two minutes ago.  I've clicked on CONTROL PANEL -> NETWORK, and selected eth0 or eth1, dhcp,  and ping never responds.

Is there a way to bring up eth0 versus eth1 when booting TC 4.2?

Here is the output.

The Ampro Readyboard has two Ethernet ports.  By changing to the other Ethernet port I can
access the Internet and Ping works.  But, Shouldn't TC Default to eth0 on bootup?

Hi lkraemer
I don't see anything wrong. Try  CONTROL PANEL -> NETWORK  again with the following settings:
Code: [Select]
eth0
Use DHCP=no
IP Address=192.168.1.27
Network Mask=255.255.255.0
Broadcast=192.168.1.255
Gateway=192.168.1.1
NameServers=192.168.1.1
Click Apply then Exit.

tc@box:~$ sudo ifconfig eth0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
tc@box:~$

I'll try the other commands this weekend, as time permits.

Thanks.

Hi lkraemer
You neglected to mention you have two network interfaces installed. If you do not need to run two
interfaces, disable one of them.

Having 2 adapters is OK (see routers, ... ) But to have 2 adapters in the same subnet is not a good practice in most cases.
