I can't get the internet to work with the new TinyCore 5.0. I have tried unplugging the CAT5 from the back of the computer and plugging it back in (worked everytime with other versions of Tinycore with this particular problem), gone into Control panel/Network and checked yes on "Use DHCP Broadcast" and saved to no availability. Not sure what else to try since this seems new to me. Just keep on getting network error when using the App Browser since TinyCore 5.0 isn't finding the network properly. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

If 'ifconfig -a' does not show your network interface, you will need to install the driver or firmware for it.
Since you have not given any useful information, it is difficult to be more help.
Show the output of:
ifconfig -a
route -n
cat /etc/resolv.conf
-
ifconfig -a does show me several network interfaces. Getting some IP's with the route -n command, but can't seem to understand why i am having issues with the network with this new version of TinyCore. How can i copy and paste the results of these commands? Also i am noticing packets going up on the main network interface which started from 0 packets. I'm switching between two USB sticks since one is running the new version of Tinycore and the other is the previous Tinycore 4.7.7 (i'm typing from right now).

Is the contents of /opt/tcemirror the following?

Hi LinuxUser01
Just keep on getting network error when using the App Browser ...
The server is currently having a problem. I can't connect with AppBrowser either. The download button at the top of the
forum page is not functioning either.
-
Tinycore 5.0 uses a new distro.
-
Well, hopefully its because of the issue you guys are having and not the network i'm using, but anyhow here are the results from the commands posted by gerald_clark. Thanks again.

nameserver 192.168.17.1 is not in your network.
Looks like a dhcpd misconfiguration.
-
Well, i'm getting the same results on this USB stick that is running Tinycore v4.7.7 with the commands that you have provided me from the second post, but i am accessing the net and accessing the Apps Browser. So its got to be what Rich stated above. I have even selected "Select Mirror" and "Select fastest mirror" still to no availability. Not sure what the URI was at the bottom of the Apps Browser when i first attempted to access the browse function from the Cloud (Remote).

Hi LinuxUser01
As I said, the server is experiencing some kind of problem. Try clicking on Welcome or FAQ or Downloads at the
top of the page and you'll get a connection error.
That 192.168.17.1 however does look wrong.
-
The URI on the Apps Browser is http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/. The cat /etc/resolv.conf i'm getting on this Tinycore v4.7.7 is the same results as from the other USB stick using Tinycore 5.0. I am not using a computer that is going straight to the Internet cable modem, but using a router inbetween. Not sure what IP that is, but this internet works just fine with it. Apparently, the Gateway and DNS1 is stated to be 192.168.17.1/3. I also have a couple of other modems inbetween the Internet cable modem and the Router that i'm using. Not sure if those are conflicting or not.

Huh? =:O

gerald_clark
thanks for reply 3, that got me from RC1 to 5.x final
LinuxUser01
I have a router with a gateway of 192.168.1.1 and it has its own nameservers configured ok
try typing 192.168.1.1 in your web browser to confirm you get a router login prompt
then try 192.168.17.1 and see what happens.
If your router is correctly configured to use Opendns you might get my output if interested
cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
-
I think that IP is for the Sprint modem connected inbetween. Since typing that IP in the browser gives me FC330A which is probably the name for that modem. The 192.168.1.1 is the actual router which works just fine getting into. So has anyone figured out what the actual problem is for the Apps Browser not connecting in the new version of Tinycore 5.0?

EDIT
another post shows there was an outage and contents of /opt/tcemirror are now
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/
If you changed to reply 3 contents and backed up, you may wish to backup again with new contents?
good luck

@gordonselfish
So there was an issue with the new destro for TC 5.0? Not sure what you mean when you state "if you changed to reply 3 contents and backed up, you may wish to backup again with new contents?".
-
So there was an issue with the new destro for TC 5.0?
No, there was a problem with the server - it works now.
-
Yes, i've noticed. It's much faster than the destro 4.7.7 is using. Thanks.
