 |
|
Whenever I run a program that do auto-update(such as Ragnarok Online, etc.) on a computer with Static IP, it'll fail. But if I use Dynamic IP, it'll connect.
Wassup with this?
Other Programs can connect to the internet just fine(mozzila, internet explorer, any downloads...). The programs that I usually have a problem connecting to the internet using a computer with static IP are mostly games that need auto-update/connect to download server(lineage, ragnarok, etc...).
Anyone know how to work around this issue?

How are you setting up the static IP?
It sounds to me like you may not be setting the default gateway, or maybe not adding dns servers to /etc/resolv.conf.
try the command 'ip route show'
it should output a line that looks something like
'default via x.x.x.x dev ethx'
Are there any/correct entries in the file /etc/resolv.conf |

oh wow, you're a genius.
I thought I didn't have to put anything for nameserver since I could connect to the internet just fine....
After I put 192.168.0.1(my gentoo local server IP) in both default gw and nameserver, it works!
Thanks! |
