 Posted: Thu Feb 24, 2011 4:12 pm Post subject: Static IP issue [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi All. I've recently come back to Gentoo after a long absence.Everything is exactly the way I want it except my static ip.When I set one, I have no internet connectivity.Im sure im just missing something small.After following the handbook and forum heres what i've got
my desired ip is 192.168.1.199 and my router is 192.168.1.254 (these are the settings I always use)
| Code: | localhost / # cat /etc/conf.d/net
config_eth0=( "192.168.1.199 netmask 255.255.255.0" )
routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.1.254" ) |
mabye im missing something?
| Code: | cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by dhcpcd from eth0
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
domain WAG160N
nameserver 213.94.190.194
nameserver 213.94.190.236
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line |
I've checked and these are the correct nameservers for my provider.When I comment out the lines in /etc/conf.d/net, dhcp starts without any problems
Thanks for any help, this is driving me crazy as i've had a static ip on my previous gentoo install a few years ago which I set up with no problems
cheers,
Mark

Just try the following.
config_eth0=( "192.168.1.199" )
routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.1.254" ) |

This | Code: | | routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.1.254" ) |
doesn't look right
The router/gateway address is usually 192.168.1.1, unless you've manually changed it.
I see from a follow on post that that is your IP - so disregard this
When you uncomment the lines in net, can you "ping 192.168.1.254" and does it respond?

Hi and thanks for the reply, ive made the changes you suggested
| Code: | localhost / # cat /etc/conf.d/net
config_eth0=( "192.168.1.199" )
routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.1.254" ) |
unfortunately I still have no internet connectivity.
I dont know if its any help but when dhcp starts the output is:
| Code: | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart

* Cannot add provide 'net', as a service with the same name exists! [ ok ]

Yes I did manually change the router address as I had an older router with this address and It just seemed easier to keep it the same.Ive used these settings with arch and they worked fine.

Can you "ping 192.168.1.199"
with the config and route lines uncommented.
Edit to add: and what does "route -n" return

Yes, When I can ping the router @ 192.168.1.254 with the with the uncommented net file, yet I still can't browse the net.
I've just realised that transmission will download a torrent with these settings but opera and firefox "cannot connect to server" |

If you can ping the 192.168.1.254 router as you have shown then I wonder is there may be a internet connectivity issue?
What happens when you ping google.com or try pinging this google ip address also
ping 209.85.143.99 |

DNS issue 
Change your resolf.conf DNS settings to point to the router ip |
