PUMP Missing, what to do next?

**JockVSJock** · 10-05-2003, 10:57 PM

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.

Best Wishes

the other option is
dhclient

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

Nice try...

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

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.
