yet another network problem (SIOCADDRT: No such process)

dreamer_ · 2007-10-12 17:22:58

After IP address of router in my apartment changed I have troubles with bringing up my network connection. I changed my gateway address and now it fails with:

:: Starting Network          [BUSY]
SIOCADDRT: No such process
                             [FAIL]

however

$route add <gateway ip> eth0

temporarily solves the problem:

[dreamer_@dream02 ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/network start
:: Starting Network          [DONE]

any ideas how should I repair this to start my network automatically?

What's your networking spot in rc.conf look like? What were the old and new internal IPs of your router?

rc.conf:

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.3.128 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.3.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
gateway="default gw 80.48.72.175"
ROUTES=(gateway)

the only thing that changed is gateway ip (previous was 192.168.13.something). I was playing with different netmasks and broadcast ranges but it didn't help

Hi,

The gateway usually is in the same sub-network than your IP address.
According to your rc.conf, your gateway should be something like 192.168.3.xxx
Are you sure that is the IP of your gateway? Have you tried DHCP?

dhcp is not installed on gateway
well, I am quite sure it's good address because network works, but can't be started automatically

Do you have an ip address that you use to configure your router?
If you do, have you tried using that ip as gateway?

ifconfig on my router says:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx  
          inet addr:80.48.72.175  Bcast:80.48.72.191  Mask:255.255.255.224

Is that the only eth?
What is the route table of the router?

yes, it's the only one

I don't think that problem is on router side: few other computers connects without hassle (WinXP, MacOSX, Debian, Fedora), Arch works too, but only after adding route manually.

The problem is in the lines:

gateway="default gw 80.48.72.175"
ROUTES=(gateway)

If you are using DHCP the line ROUTES=(gateway) should read ROUTES=(!gateway) <-- notice the !

Hope this helps.

well, I am quite sure I don't use dhcp // to be really really sure I tested and network restart hung while waiting for non-existent router's dhcpd to respond

however I worked this by myself after all
my new rc.conf says:

g0="80.48.71.175 eth0"
gateway="default gw 80.48.71.175"
ROUTES=(g0 gateway)

and that's all folks, it works thanks everyone
