Sabayon Community

Hi everyone, I have a problem that I can't find the solution to. So I'm hoping someone can help me.

I recently got a new computer and installed Sabayon on it (just as I had on my last one). At the beginning wireless didn't work, but I used a cabel instead and get some updates from the Internet and wireless started working.

Now I'm at another place with no access to a wireless connection, so I plugged in a cable instead, but that gives me no useful Internet connection. The connection works just fine when I'm in Windows on the same computer.

The NetworkManager tells me I'm connected with Internet access, but when I try to view a web page, nothing happens and after a while the browser tells me: Error 7 (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out.

Here's a bit more info:

The ip-address and other things are the same as in Windows. It's not a static ip and the cable is plugged directly into the wall. This is what Windows tells me (the labels are in Swedish):

Code: Select all: ipconfig IP-konfiguration för Windows Ethernet-anslutning Anslutning till lokalt nätverk: Anslutningsspecifika DNS-suffix . : blixtvik.net Länklokal IPv6-adress . . . . . . : fe80::bca2:4cae:c719:b39a%16 IPv4-adress . . . . . . . . . . . : 83.209.90.34 Nätmask . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.248.0 Standard-gateway. . . . . . . . . : 83.209.88.1 Tunnelanslutning: 6TO4 Adapter: Anslutningsspecifika DNS-suffix . : blixtvik.net IPv6-adress . . . . . . . . . . . : 2002:53d1:5a22::53d1:5a22 Standard-gateway. . . . . . . . . : 2002:c058:6301::c058:6301 Tunnelanslutning: Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface: Anslutningsspecifika DNS-suffix . : IPv6-adress . . . . . . . . . . . : 2001:0:5ef5:73b8:c7e:1a8d:ac2e:a5dd Länklokal IPv6-adress . . . . . . : fe80::c7e:1a8d:ac2e:a5dd%17 Standard-gateway. . . . . . . . . :

Since I could ping 8.8.8.8 I tried setting the DNS-adress to that, but that made no difference. The other thing I've tried is to disable IPv6, which removed the message "eth0: no IPv6 routers present", but didn't do much else.

Any other ideas?

Firstly: is this new place running a firewall or something? If so, it could be doing a packet inspection, and dropping packets from linux browsers.

Secondly: it appears from your post that you haven't checked DNS resolving, just pinged a known DNS server. So what do you get if you ping sabayon.org? ( I get 149.132.176.64)
Add the router's address to your /etc/resolv.conf. Some routers play up unless they are first in line for DNS calls.

Thirdly: given Windows works, do this: Start- Run. type cmd, press Enter. (DOS window - windows terminal)
type: ipconfig /all > ipconf.txt
type: type c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts >> ipconf.txt

then put that ipconf.txt (which is in your user's directory) up here for us to read. And do the similar thing for your Sabayon installation;

cat /etc/resolv.conf >linif.txt
cat /etc/hosts >>linif.txt

Fourthly: load traceroute if you can, and use that to help diagnose the issue. (In Windows it's called tracert, and is usually already there.)

We don't have a router here, the cable goes directly to the wall. I've had no problem using LInux here before, and to my knowledge nothing is changed except the new computer.

It looks like DNS resolving works, cause I get 149.132.176.64 back too. But there's no router here so I can't add it's address to /etc/resolv.conf

Code: Select all: $ ping sabayon.org PING sabayon.org (149.132.176.64) 56(84) bytes of data.

This is so strange, traceroute works the same in Sabayon as in Windows, and when I do that I can actually see that data is transmitted on the graph in the NetworkManager, but when I try a web browser nothing is transmitted and if nothing is sent I can't get anything back.

Ok, so given that your networking works for the DNS, and traceroute tunneling, the only answer is that the network card in that machine has a chipset that the linux driver does not like, so it's borking http traffic. If it's a desktop pc it's cheap and easy to drop another pci network card in. Realtek is real cheap and really reliable. RTL8169 based PCI cards give you gigabit networking with other machines...that speed not needed for the net though. If it's a laptop you'll have to try finding a USB based NIC.

Or check the kind of NIC it is with lspci, then do some research to see if others are having issues with the same card, and maybe have some workarounds.

Sure is a weird one, but not unheard of.

Thanks for the help! It's a laptop with a network card called Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6230, searching for it only brings up questions about how to get wireless to work and I've already solved that problem.

The difference between the network here and the network where the wired connection worked is that there's no router here. Could a router make the connection work? We used to have a router here too, but we haven't bought a new one since it stopped working, so if that would solve the problem I would be happy to buy a new router.

That card is wireless only http://www.intel.com/products/wireless/adapters/6230/index.htm, so there is another in the system, most likely part of the mainboard, that is providing the wired connection. What is the name/brand/model of the laptop?

In order to get packets of data out to the internet, which is what you were doing with traceroute, you have a router there somewhere; probably inside the modem you use (eg ADSL modems are routers, routing from one/multiple ethernet connections to a LAN out to the internet). Yes, a couple of years back you could get sole routers that passed traffic from the LAN to a modem, but they are scarce now because the modem does it all.

Incidentally, did you try another web browser? Just in case the first is broken or set to get data from proxy or something?

Cable routers are very common now and may be a workaround. They attach to a modem or other ethernet cable and are not expensive.

Yes I've tried other web browsers and I can't get anything to download with equo either, but I didn't realise that the Network Controller only had something to do with wireless connections. My Ethernet controller is called Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit and searching for that on the net does give me some interesting results, so I'll take a look at them when I get the time. The computer is a Dell XPS L502x.

When I searched for Realtek RTL8111/8168B I found some results that mention that it was possible that the kernel used the wrong module (r8169) and that it was better to use the driver module from Realteks website (r8168). So I changed the module to r8168, but that made no difference. There is apparently som performance issues with rev 6 of the network controller (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/699761) and I have that.

I'll go and buy a router tomorrow, if I get a wireless one I know I can at least use that connection and it would be practical to be able to use more than one internet connection here anyway.

There's just one thing I'm wondering about, in the output from ethtools -i eth0, there's no firmware-version specified, shouldn't it be something there?

Code: Select all: # ethtool -i eth0 driver: r8168 version: 8.023.00-NAPI firmware-version: bus-info: 0000:06:00.0
