PUMP Missing, what to do next?

[JockVSJock]

When LAN connected, I get my IP address by issuing a pump command.

Well, pump is no longer there. I'm not sure what happened to it.

root@Probot:# pump -i eth0
-su: pump: command not found

Should I download pump and reinstall it?

Should I install a deb package or a tar file?

Never done a deb package by hand, what is the best way to install?

thanks

Hi JockVSJock,

Which KNOPPIX and what instalation are you using?

To find pump type:
which pump
It should return:
/sbin/pump

Try to enter the full path,
/sbin/pump

Still not there?

Perhaps ifconfig will help.

Hope this helps until someone who really knows come along. :wink:

the other option is
dhclient

ifconfig gives you the status of your connection, I can't eve get a connection.

Nice try...

the other option is
dhclient

No dhclient either, whereis fails to find it.

What should I do next?

thanks

Greetings JockVSJock,

What version and what instalation of KNOPPIX are you using?
How does it work if you boot form the CD?
What kind of a internet connection -- fixed address?

If which pump does not return anything then some
system files must be gone. Reinstalling may get you
going the fastest -- providid all had been working well before.
Then the trick is -- just not do again what you did just before
it stopped working. :?

I set my fixed internet with ifconfig
sudo ifconfig eth0 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. net mask 225.225.224.0
sudo route add default gw XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
the I edit /etc/reslov.conf and have one line
nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

Of course you need real numbes for the XXX bits :wink:

For DHCP have you tried?
sudo netcardconfig

I used the following command, which worked:

dhcpd eth0

This got me a connection.

I really don't understand dhcpd and why my pump disappeared. Any more info would be awesome!

thanks

I spent ages on this and found two very usefull commands, netcardconfig and wlcardconfig. These will set up everything you need for both LAN cards and Wireless Lan cards.
