help with interface and route configuration

Hi,

I have a virtual private server (VPS) with Debian 3.1 running which I want to
install Archlinux on.

Unfortunately, I get stuck in the networking configuration and cannot connect
the server with my settings.

It would be great if someone could give me a little advice what to type into
the rc.conf so that I have the same networking configuration like I had with Debian.

DEBIAN# ifconfig -a
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0

Re: help with interface and route configuration

network settings are in /etc/rc.conf...
Did you set things up correctly there?

Thanks for your reply!

That's my problem - I set it up in rc.conf, but I don't get a connection,
so my config seems wrong.

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
venet0="venet0 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 0.0.0.0"
venet0:0="venet0:0 81.169.123.123 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 0.0.0.0"
INTERFACES=(lo venet0 venet0:0)

net="-net 191.255.255.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 dev venet0"
gateway="default gw 191.255.255.1 venet0"

ROUTES=(net gateway)

Re: help with interface and route configuration

hmm... two interfaces with the same IP (127.0.0.1)? this is a little problem, I think
