[Solved]Help with Static IP

dakor · 2007-10-07 19:05:12

Hey, I need some help getting my my Arch box to connect to my router via a Static IP. I have no problems getting it to work with dhcp.

I used this wiki as a guide http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Con … _Static_IP and I am still have problems.

I am using a linksys router. Heres a SS of the status page

Here is my rc.conf file

Post the output of ifconfig, can you connect to the router? A broadcast address ending with "248" seems weird to me, it's mostly ending in "255".
Putting the router's DNS in my resolv.conf doesn't work here, I put my ISP's DNS in there directly.

This is with using dhcp

[dak@Shuttle ~]$ ifconfig

and no, while trying to using a static IP I cannot connect to my router and ifconfig looks like this

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:30:1B:BA:19:93  
          inet6 addr: fe80::230:1bff:feba:1993/64 Scope:Link

try

eth0="eth0 192.168.1.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"

dakor · 2007-10-07 19:33:44

Ok cool, with Kumicos changes I can access my router, but I still can not get my internet to work. I guess it has to do with my nameservers? Which I do not understand why they would not work because they work on my roomates windows box.

sorry didn't notice, you need to allow the gateway~ ..
ROUTES=(!gateway) to ROUTES=(gateway)

moses · 2007-10-07 20:02:53

When using static addresses, you'll probably want to add a default gateway too.
eg.
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.149 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255
route add default gw 192.168.1.1.

Yup, that did the trick!!! Thanks for your help.
