 Posted: Fri Jan 30, 2009 3:18 am Post subject: Setting static IP - what did I miss? [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I went to set a static IP on a new Gentoo install, and it's not working. I know I'm going to kick myself, but I can't think of offhand what I'm missing. I changed my /etc/conf.d/net to:
| Code: |
config_eth0=( "192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.1.1" )
|
or
| Code: |
config_eth0="192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255"
routes_eth0="default via 192.168.1.1"
|
Either of which, when restarting /etc/init.d/net.eth0 (a symlink to /etc/init.d/net.lo), does not let me connect to the net. I have another Gentoo box on which I've done this (different last digit on the IP, of course) and it works fine.
I just upgraded this new Gentoo box from stable to ~arch, including upgrading to openRC. The other machine on which I have a static IP is also the latest openRC. So what am I missing?

Syntax is the first example.
Can you ping any other machines on the LAN? What's in you /etc/resolv.conf? What does ifconfig eth0 say?
Have you tried doing an ifconfig eth0 192.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx up ; route add default gw 192.168.1.1 ; ping <internet> ; ping <lan ip> ?
What's doing domain name resolution? You may need a line like dns_servers_eth0="192.168.x.x" in you /etc/conf.d/net
Just ideas to get you started off the top of my head. Its late. |

What about DNS?
I don't see that you've set that yet - unless the above snippet is incomplete.
This is my full /etc/conf.d/net
| Code: |
config_eth0=( "10.44.21.218 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.44.21.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default via 10.44.21.254" )
dns_domain_eth0="mydomain.com"
dns_servers_eth0="10.44.10.1 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 4.2.2.2"

Just curious, which conf.d/net syntax was correct in your case? The second is the new style for openrc/baselayout2, if I'm not mistaken.
Glad to be of help. |
