Static Network stops working

kolbycrouch · 2010-01-28 02:26:46

Well, I've recently went distro hopping (well okay, OS hopping)
and before i had arch connecting staticly with this network setting in rc.conf.

eth0="eth0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
INTERFACES=(eth0)

gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

They are the same under both installs, nothing weird about them at all.
Nor is there anything odd i can see in /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf.

I'm assuming its an arch problem.

What is the actual problem? You've given good detail about your configuration, but not much detail about the problem

It doesnt give me any errors, it just wont connect, so no internet.

What is "it" that won't connect? Your browser?

Can you ping your gateway?
Can you ping other computers/devices on your local network?
Can you ping google.com?
What comes up in your browser when try to browse a site?

"Won't connect" meaning cannot ping remote networks, I can ping my router (gateway)

Right, now we're getting somewhere...

Being able to ping the router/gateway sound like the default route isn't right. Is the default route being set correctly? Is that definitely the correct gateway? Post the output of `route -n`

kolbycrouch · 2010-01-29 08:09:14

yes it is, 192.168.1.1, I also manually add them via route. Using dhcpcd my gateway is still 192.168.1.1

fukawi2 · 2010-01-30 06:10:55

What is the output of the following commands?

ifconfig eth0
route -n
cat /etc/resolv.conf

Thats all three, btw Have you noticed slower connection speed in arch, had to boot an opensuse livecd yesterday to fix something, and the connection speed was incredible, web browser was much much faster, I believe this is arch's fault not opensuse doing something special, as the speed is the same with other Gnu/linux live cd's.

Is that after a fresh reboot, with the same configuration in rc.conf as your original post?

For some reason you have 2 default gateways configured which is going to confuse things. Have you accidentally got some duplicate configuration in your rc.conf perhaps?

kolbycrouch · 2010-02-01 11:12:45

actually, not after a fresh reboot. I will reboot and post back.
