Network starting issues

bostoniman · 2005-08-04 13:14:39

When I boot up my computer, and it goes to start the network, it sits for about 15 - 20 seconds, and then says:

SIOCADDRT: File exists

Why might it be doing this?

hotplug may be loading your network... try disabling your network settings in rc.conf (but not removing them, just add a !) and then reboot - see if that helps

Specifically, this error message means that an attempt is being made to add a route that already exists. Do you have any routes declared in rc.conf that might conflict with routes created by dhcp?

I have a wireless connection set up in /etc/conf.d/wireless, and called in the INTERFACES area of /etc/rc.conf to be DHCP'd.

No surprises there then. What's in rc.conf ROUTES?

bostoniman · 2005-08-04 20:26:57

In rc.conf ROUTES is the following:

gateway="default gw 10.0.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

Right - that's what I was expecting. When dhcpcd runs, it gets an ip address AND sets the default route. So your ROUTES section is trying to do something that's already been done. Change it to

ROUTES=(!gateway)

and you'll be fine.

Thanks, that worked. I appreciate the help.

No problem - glad it worked out.
