[SOLVED] - initscripts/network settings

PReP · 2011-06-09 22:52:21

I recently update, and boldly tried adapting to the new network configuration way:

/etc/rc.conf:

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# NETWORKING
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# HOSTNAME: Hostname of machine. Should also be put in /etc/hosts
#
HOSTNAME="preptus"

#eth0="dhcp"
#INTERFACES=(eth0)

#gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
#ROUTES=(gateway)
 
interface=eth0
adress=192.168.0.7
netmask=255.255.255.0
gateway=192.168.0.1


# Setting this to "yes" will skip network shutdown.
# This is required if your root device is on NFS.
NETWORK_PERSIST="no"

#NETWORKS=(main)

I don't know if i have missed anything, or such?
Because what i get is what seems to be a dhcp-leased adress from my router

(192.168.0,50, which is the first i have set the router to give)

I prefer having a static adress, as to not need to have dhcp or waiting for leases or such,
and i have everything set up to that static ip in the router.

Any helpful pointers?

What errors are you getting?

Have you been through this checklist of tests?

Looks like you spelled "address" wrong in the rc.conf file. If "address" is not defined, /etc/rc.d/network uses dhcp.

Ah, well yes that i have, besides the dns part.
That is how i deducted that my IP was given a dhcp-lease from the router, due to it's address.

I am writing this from "Play some random Game with your fingers crossed that nothing will randomly break without decent logs or output OS" (Also known as "Windows - 7 - in this case "
Because I didn't get in touch with anything but my router and local server (residing in the kitchen) last boot, and fiddled a bit with route add and ifconfig the old way, but to no avail.

But, as the next post suggests.... ---->

Oh darn, i see that you are right - here goes my linguistic pride to the crapper.
Damn typo anyhow , i will reboot, remedy that, and see if things work as intended again.
Goodbye again Win7 *reboots*

It's fixed, finally

And all because of a letter "d" less in address

It's good though that linux tools are not sloppy when it comes to spelling

The second problem where reverting to the old system failed (and back to the new); was of course that dhcpcd regenerated (or 'effed up' as i'd like to call it) my resolv.conf,
putting back my nameserver line there made it all nice again.

So here i am again, with the "new network way (tm)" set up and working.
