netcfg askes for wrong ip

Hi,

I want a headless machine always to have ip 192.168.1.100, so as explained at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … figuration, I copied the example file "ethernet-static" to

/etc/network.d/mynetwork

and changed it into:

CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='A basic static ethernet connection using iproute'
INTERFACE='eth0'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.1.100'
#ROUTES=('192.168.0.0/24 via 192.168.1.2')
GATEWAY='192.168.1.1'
DNS=('192.168.1.1')

However, when I restart the service using 

$ sudo systemctl restart netcfg@mynetwork

syslog reads:

Nov  5 20:07:22 localhost systemd[1]: Stopping Netcfg networking service for profile mynetwork...
Nov  5 20:07:22 localhost dhcpcd[5612]: eth0: removing IP address 192.168.1.105/24

Nov  5 20:07:36 localhost dhcpcd[5612]: eth0: no IPv6 Routers available

When I ssh from another machine into 192.168.1.105, I actually ssh into this machine, and ifconfig on this machine returns:

eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.1.100  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.1.255

        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
        device interrupt 20  

Could somebody tell me what I'm missing here?

Thanks!

Re: netcfg askes for wrong ip

You're running both dhcpcd and netcfg.
