Title: How to enable net-connection?
Post by: fredand44 on January 10, 2012, 06:49:28 AM

Hello!

I just installed Tiny CorePlus-current.iso 67.1 MB.
Deems really really nice!!

But I do not seems to get any network connection to work.
I have tried booth cable and wireless.
The wireless says "no wifi device" even though the USB-wifi-adapter is lit up.

When I start a terminal and test ping it says "bad adress".

What do you think guys, have I miss something?

Best regards
Fredrik

Some wired connections require a firmware extension to be loaded to work, what hardware do you have?

There is a wifi extension to setup wireless and make a connection, what hardware do you have?

Hello!

My hardware for cable is a D-Link I think it is a PCI-slot, how ever it worked fine with Puppy and DSL.

When I check ifconfig I get that eth0 is UP and my router has give it an ip-adress.
But when I try the app-browser and try to connect I get Network error.

I just unplugged my USB-wifi-adapter ZyXEL NWD-270N Wireless N-lite since the wifi-tool did not find it.

When plugged in both hardware do are active.

Right now I struggling with the cable-connection.

If you got any idea please let me know.

Best regards
Fredrik

Hi fredand44
Here is a link to a writeup by maro that provides a step by step check for network setup:

Hello!

Thanks for that checklist!

I think all vent well until letter "i".

There is something strange with the url "opera10.tzc", see terminal message
I also got the same text in frame title in the app browser:

See image at:

I think this happen when I followed the opera flash install at:

What do you think guys?
Perhaps a new install and try again with opera and flash?

Best regards

What is the result if you run: cat /opt/tcemirror

My guess is you've somehow managed to screw up your mirror setting, where the default value stored in said file is: http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/ (http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/)

Hello!

Thanks for all help!

I managed to update the /opt/tcemirror with "sudo vi" to the address you said.

Now I was able to install Opera!

There seems to be a problem with flash but I get back to you in an other thread if I get stuck!

Best regards
