Have to manually start network . . .[solved]

Hi,
For some reason my network doesn't start when I boot, but works fine when I run dhcpcd after logging in.  I presume this is something simple, but would appreciate some help.
The module I need is 8139too.  mkinticpio's autodetect gives 8139cp and 8139too for some reason, so I sorted that out in rc.conf.  (It didn't work when I left the modules alone, either).
Here the relevant parts:
MOD_BLACKLIST=(pcspkr 8139cp)
MODULES=(8139too )
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="DHCP"
eth1="DHCP"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1)
#gateway="default gw 192.168.0.254"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia hal network @fam @portmap @netfs @crond @alsa)
I have network in the daemons array, but on startup it says 'cannot find device' (can't remember the exact wording) when trying to connect the network, as if the module isn't loaded yet, perhaps?  Should something be loaded before network in the daemons?
The other thing is that I have eth0 and eth1 despite having only one network device (insofar as I'm aware) - ought this be the case?  I just stuck eth1 into rc.conf blindly since it existed.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks.

Don't know wether it belongs to rc.conf, too.
But UNIX is case-sensitive. Try to replace this line:
eth0="DHCP"
by
erh0="dhcp"
And all others that contain capitalized "DHCP".
And why do you connect via dhcp through two network interfaces?

  • Manually starting Intelligent Agent Configuration Assistant and HTTP Listener

    I have installed Oracle 9i on Solaris 8 and it stopped with an "Out of Memory" error during the Starter Database creation. I have fixed the memory problem and have now manually started the Database Configuration Assistant manually and managed to install a new database. Now I am trying to start the Intelligent Agent Configuration Assistant and the Apache HTTP Listener, but I cannot find out how to do this so that I can continue on with and complete the installation process from where I left off.
    Do anyone know how to do this? I would appreciate any help that anyone can give.
    Thanks
    Anthony

    Lets start with what product you are installing and why. An Oracle database installation, in and of itself, does not install an HTTP server.
    Of course one might also wonder why you are, just now, installing software so old it is in desupport.

  • [Solved]Can't get past "Starting network" during installation from USB

    I'm trying to do a fresh install of Archlinux on my laptop, following the Beginners Guide. However, I never get to the shell prompt because the installation gets stuck at "Starting network [Busy]".
    These are steps I followed:
    - I downloaded the latest Arch ISO.
    - I wrote it to a usb stick ("Kingston Data Traveler") with "dd if=archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdb"
    - I put the usb stick into my laptop (HP Pavilion dm1-4139sd), and booted it. I chose "x86_64". Everything seems to go fine, the only warning I get is: "microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin".
    - I get the message "INIT: Entering runlevel: 3" and "Starting Syslog-NG [Done]", after that its endlessly (at least 20 minutes) stuck on "Starting network [Busy]".
    I tried the following variations on the above:
    - Wrote the ISO to a different USB, samen problem.
    - Tried it with a different Arch version (from August), same problem.
    - Turned kvm on and off, same problem.
    - Pressed TAB at the "x86_64" line and added "acpi=off" to the end of it. I then get:
        :: Triggering uevents....

        You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished
        sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
        [rootfs /]#
    I'm not sure what to do in this prompt. At least the network isn't working and none of the normal commands.
    - I reset the DHCP leases on my modem, same problem.
    - I turned off/on the hardware WLAN, same problem.
    - I tried it with or without the LAN cable plugged in, same problem.
    - I tried it with or without the battery plugged in, and with or without the power cable plugged in. Same problem.
    I also performed the Arch memory test, and the bios hard disk test. They both report no errors.
    I did an Arch installation a month ago on this laptop, and back then it didn't have this problem. I still have that arch installed from back then and it boots/works without problem (I have Starting NetworkingManager [Done]). I know I technically don't need to install arch again, as I still have the old one, but I wanted to clean the changes I made to some settings files and I if it turns out this is some kind of hardware problem I'd like to return it to the store.
    Please help! I'm not really that familiar with Linux in general, so it might have been a very basic mistake from me as well. I have no idea what to do next, except for formatting my harddisk (which I don't think should influence the installer?), or trying to install a different Linux distro.
    Edit: The solution that solved this problem for me in the end was resetting the BIOS to its defaults.

    Yes, I downloaded it using BitTorrent and the MD5 matches.
    DSpider wrote:Try a different stick?
    Yes, I tried it with 2 different USB sticks. They are both from the same brand ("Kingston DataTraveler"), so I might try different brands as well, but I don't think it is the problem.
    DSpider wrote:Or at least a different method from that wiki page. For example, "dd"-ing it should work just fine.
    The methods for writing the ISO that I tried so far:
    The base method:
    dd if=archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdb
    (from an Arch install)
    The method without overwriting your USB drive (created a FAT32 drive with an VFAT filesystem, from an arch install)
    Using Imagewriter (from Windows)
    Each method gives the same result: the laptop gets stuck at "Starting network [Busy]" when booted from one of the USB sticks. My modem indicates that it "sees" the laptop, but that the laptop has no established connection. When the laptop is stuck at the "Starting network [Busy]", all the activity on the USB stick stops (the light stops flashing).
    The thing I find most strange is that the OS currently installed on the laptop has no problems booting or accessing the internet (both wired and wireless) at all.

  • Do I have to manually mount my network drives?

    I've set up a couple of partitions on a USB disk attached to my AEBS. One of the partitions is being used for time machine across a few different machines.
    Should I have to manually mount the network drives each time I start my machines? I've see time machine errors involving the backup disk not being found and I'm wondering about the details around the network drives use.
    TIA,
    David

    I didn't
    my clock changed to wintertime
    and my alarms and appointments use timespans so they start at lets say 14:00 no matter if I go to usa and adjust my clock to match their time or if I go to china and adjust my time to match their time

    Does it happen when you reply to an email? If so, it might be that there's content in the original email (like an image or something similar) that overflows the window content, therefore the Mail app, when you hit the border, follows the content below instead of going on a new line. You might wanna try that.
    Also: Please do not post the whole question in the question title.

  • Autostart of network-service fails, but manual start works fine

    I followed a guide to set up a network connection. The steps were to create a network config (/etc/config.d/network)
    interface=eth0
    address=192.168.1.2
    netmask=24
    broadcast=192.168.1.255
    gateway=192.168.1.1
    then a service description (/etc/systemd/system/network.service)
    [Unit]
    Description=Network startup
    Wants=network.target
    Before=network.target
    [Service]
    Type=oneshot
    RemainAfterExit=yes
    EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/network
    ExecStart=/sbin/ip link set dev ${interface} up
    ExecStart=/sbin/ip addr add ${address}/${netmask} broadcast ${broadcast} dev ${interface}
    ExecStart=/sbin/ip route add default via ${gateway}
    ExecStop=/sbin/ip addr flush dev ${interface}
    ExecStop=/sbin/ip link set dev ${interface} down
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    and then enable the service using systemctl enable network.
    After the rebooting calling systemctl states the service as failed. If I start it manually using systemctl start network everything works fine.
    How do I get it to work with autostart? Thanks in advance.

    With 'a guide' I presume you referred to this guide
    The guide states
    To set static IP on enp3s0 interface you will need to create /etc/conf.d/network@enp3s0 config file and run:
    # systemctl enable [email protected]
    where enp3s0 has to be changed into your own interface name.
    Note that the EnvironmentFile has to change to /etc/conf.d/network@<interface>.

  • Have to manually select my network each time I open an application

    We recently upgraded to an Intel iMac from a G3 iMac. Everything transferred great using the migration assistant. Our only problem is that we have to manually select our home network each time we open an application such as Safari. Once connected everything works great. It's a minor inconvenience but one I'd like to fix. Probably it's just a simple check box somewhere but I haven't been able to find it. Thanks in advance for any help.

    In the Network perference pane, under Airport, there is a setting that should read "By default join preferred networks." Beneath this setting, there is a list of preferred networks. Make sure that your home network is listed first, and/or delete all others (if any). Also, make sure that the setting "Disconnect from network upon logout" is not selected.

    You need to re install OSX. If you have the dmg file downloaded via torrentz this is how you can create a bootable external HD or Flash drive (8 GB+)

  • Have to manually connect to network after each restart?

    When I turned my PB on it would always automatically connect to my home wireless network (after I'd entered the password etc. of course). But now I have to manually select the network everytime I turn it on - I've played with a few settings to no avail and this problem does not occur with other networks that I've joined (at my folks for example). It's not a biggie but I'm scratching my head and it's just a little frustrating. Any ideas? Cheers

    Hi,
    When I put the computer to sleep... it comes back on with the network I had on before. When I shut it down and restart it, I have to select the one I want... as it can see my neighbors network and on occasion one farther away. If there is only the one, and it's yours with the known password, there is one choice. My daughter brings her laptop over to use my Hi-Speed, and the first time I put in the password... now it goes to it all by itself when she is here, if the neighbors is not on, it's automatic. Otherwise, she too has to select which network she wants to join.
    Fewer options are better, otherwise too many choices and you have to tell the Mac what you want today.
    Enjoy

  • I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

    My new Mac Air continues to disconnect from WiFi after going to sleep.  When waking it up I have to manually re-connect.  How do I keep it connected?

    I had this problem too and solved it by doing a clean install. After that it was gone.
    This is a drastic method since it takes quite some time to reinstall lion and all your software.
    Thoughts I had why it started working after a clean install are the following:
    It looked like the airport wasn't able to reconnect fast enough before the connection timed out. So what could have prevented my mac from being able to connect fast enough?
    Apps that consume processor cycles. I love what I would call 'System Enhancers', little apps that enhance my workflow (Moom, Alfred, Dropbox, Default Folder etc). I'm not saying that these are the problem, they might be programmed processor friendly, but check if you have apps that consume processor cylcles. It might prevent airport from being able to reconnect quickly enough before it times out.
    Mobile Config profiles. Another thought I had was that I had a mobile config 802.1X profile installed for the company were I worked. It used TTLS to connect to the corporate network. This profile might have gotten in the way.
    And a sidenote...
    Routers with hardware acceleration might also be a problem. My router is a Wireless Gigabit Router 300N WL-351 and has hardware acceleration. As soon as I activate that my wifi connection keeps dropping. It is as if a Macbook Air can't handle that amount of optimisation.
    That's it, hope it helps those who are still having the problem.

  • Cannot Manually Select Network

    I bought a SIM Free Blackberry Passport of Amazon but when I inserted my O2 Ireland sim I do not have the option to manually select network. When I start up the phone without a sim it confirms that it is open to all networks. However some setting within the phone puts a restriction on manually selecting network when I put in the O2 sim. I am having difficulty getting this issue solved. No-one takes responsibiltiy for the issue, I suspect it is a Blackberry fault whereby there is an issue with the software but it is very hard to resolve. My phone is great but I need to solve this issue to be able to use it.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Can you have O2 turn off all roaming on your account? Then just enable when you travel. That might force the device to stay on your home network.
