 |
|
Hi !
I got the error :
| Code: | | Please make sure that /etc/conf.d/net has $iface_eth0 set |
when my machine boots up and try to make a dhcpcd to get an IP and after for each service related to eth0 : iptables, nfs, mysql, webmin ...
when I manually launch the command , it works well but I have to manually launch all the services. When doing this, still get the error above but it seems it doesn't affect.
Thanks for any idea suggested ? Could it be a problem in the order of the startup services ? ? |

try setting $iface_eth0="dhcp" (or "dhcpd", "dhcpcd" i forget) in /etc/conf.d/net
then type:
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
|
to make sure its working. |

Yes it works and my /etc/conf.d/net is correctly set like that (works on others machines ) :
but the problem remains only at startup ! its incredible ! I will perhaps try another network card or make a script instead of typing my 6 or 7 lines each morning 
do not spend your time with my problems but if anybody has had the same error, please let me know ....
thanks ! |

mmm... just today
I've a laptop that normally runs on my home system with a static IP (weird, huh?) But I'm down at my brothers and it should be simple to convert it to use DHCP...
only it doesn't seem to want to start. I assume I've missed some config step since I rarely use it, but I didn't have this bother last time I was down
