Fedora Networking :: Cannot Get A Static IP Address To Work In 11?
Oct 29, 2009
I cannot get a static IP to work on Fedora 11. Using Network Manager, I set the IP to 192.168.1.130, the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and the gateway to 192.168.1.0 but it doesn't work. I also tried 192.168.1.1 for the gateway, which is what I used in FC7 but still no luck. I verified that these are the settings that I used in FC7, I don't remember ever having a problem before with this.I do remember someone telling me not to use Network Manager in conjunction with Network Configuration... does that make sense? That was for FC9 on my laptop and it was for the wireless so perhaps that doesn't apply here. I did try unchecking the box for Network Manager and using strictly Network Configuration but it still didn't work.
I am a windows user with no linux experience prior to Friday. Im setting up a music server (SqueezeCenter) running Fedora 10.
With the help of posts of this site Ive made good progress with complicated stuffnamely getting Samba and VNC working. My Fedora machine and my windows machines now see each others shared files, and I can control my Fedora machine from my windows machine. (The Fedora machine will ultimately be headless.)
But Im having trouble with a seemingly simple issue setting up my Fedora box with a static IP address. With DHCP enabled on my network Ethernet adapter, all works fine. I then used the System>Administration>Network menu to disable DHCP and to assign the same IP address that DHCP chose. When I do this, two cases need to be distinguished:
1. If I keep the box checked for Controlled by Network Manager, the Network Manager Applet reports a network connection, I nevertheless cannot access the internet, but my Fedora machine is able to communicate with my Squeezebox music player (connected to my network via my DSL modem Ethernet connections, and with a fixed IP address). 2. If I uncheck the box Controlled by Network Manger, then the Network Manager Applet reports no network connection and my Fedora machine is not able to communicate with my Squeezebox music player (and I of course have no internet connectivity).
Ive seen references on other posts suggesting that the Network Manager service be disabled. But I see no way to manually configure the network.
I want to force my IP address to 192.169.0.99but my router always allocates me 192.168.0.2I have attached a screen showing my settings.I'm using the broadcom wireless card to connect to the router?Any thoughts, I have tried to change the setting with and without the network manager.
I am using Fedora 10 and when I first installed my machine, I had a DHCP assigned address to my network card. Later on I decided that I wanted to give my machine more of a server role, so I switched to static IP using the system-config-network utility. What happened after that was that I did change the IP address and routing information, but DNS information gets lost at every reboot, so I need to type it back again.
Version 10.04 LTS. Installed desktop version and network worked but I needed a static IP address and the install configures for a DHCP configured address. I tried changing to static address using the System->Preferences->Network Connections application but was unable to get the system to come up with the network up.
So I manually modified the /etc/network/interfaces and the /etc/resolv.conf files. I restart the system but when I do an ifconfig, I don't see a configured IP address on eth0 (only the loopback address). If I run /sbin/ifup eth0 everything then works fine and ifconfig shows the correct address bound to eth0.
I got this message on Friday from just one domain. uote:mailsrv.forthnet.gr #<mailsrv.forthnet.gr #5.5.0 smtp; 554 5.5.0 Your message was considered to be spam by the FORTHnet Antispamming Policy and was not delivered to the recipient. The following spam tests returned positive for this message:FORGED_RCVD_HELO,RCVD_IN_BRBL. For further information visitWe are not a spamming community but it seems we have a statice IP address that has a Reverse lookup to "myipaddress.static.lyse.net" and not my email domain. Would setting a cname mail.mydomain.no -> myipaddress.static.lyse.net cure this problem or are there more tricks to be performedOnce I have cured the FORGED_RCVD_HELO I can move to getting the IP removed from BARACUDA.
I'm trying to get KVM static IP bridging to work on my Fedora 10 install. I've looked at the related posts on this subject and tried some of the suggestions without full success. I've used the virt-manager to create 2 Windows XP guests on the host (all on the same machine).I need to use static IP addressing on the 2 guests as well as the host.I need the guest VMs and host to be able to see each other as well as connect to the outside world. Using the script below I found in an earlier post, I get network connectivity with the 2 guest VMs but the host can't get out at all.
Yes, another newbie question. Just loaded and updated FC 10. Everything works great with dhcp. Tried to setup static ip to learn more about how to set it up and nothing seems to work. I'm connected to DSL via a router when I ifconfig I get:(basic stuff)inet addr: 192.168.1.7 Bcast: 192.168.1.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
I have also tried default gateway 192.168.1.255 and 192.168.1.254.Most of what I have tried above has come from linux websites and faq's.Keeping in mind I am worst than any new newbie you have ever worked with
I can access internet when my eth0 is set toDHCP client. But when I set static I can ping goole.com... but my Firefox browser doesn't connect to Interent!
i have a ubuntu 9.10 server on a wlan behind a debian server/router/firewall.i have had dhcp assigning the ip address to the server and then accessing the server through a port forward that has been working okay.i want to assign a static ip address to the server so that i wont have to worry about checking that as i reboot the system and so forth.
I am trying to set up a static ip address. I am using the visual interface. The problem may be that I don't know what they mean by "DNS servers" the linksys says it is 0.0.0.0 but entering that doesn't help. It says "connected" on the "notification area" icon, but I have no internet. I have rebooted the computer and the router.I deleted Auto eth0 and when I added a new connection it is now "Wired connection 1". If I change it to "automatic DHCP" instead of manual, it works fine.What am I missing, I have easily been able to set static IPs on WinXP machines, I would think Ubuntu would be easier.
I cannot get static addresses to work on eth0 and eth1. eth0 seems to use DHCP while eth1 uses the static information. Sometimes the static info is used but the interfaces get the addresses reversed.
From /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=mosaic
I have followed some instructions to change to a static ip address and have now lost my connection to my router. The mistake I made was not copying the original "interfaces" file before making changes.The file originally had: auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet (something - I thought it was loopback but didn't work when I added it).
The instruction told me to put: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1
Which I did, using my own ip numbers, except for "broadcast". I didn't add that in because I didn't have a clue what to put there. When it didn't work, I tried putting it back to what I originally had except I can't rememebr that last bit. I added dhcp instead of what I thought it was but this didn't work either.
Can't change from dhcp to static ip address.I've installed Oracle's version of Linux Redhat 5, but I'm having no success changing from dhcp to a static IP address. My machine is plugged directly into a Belkin router which has the IP address: 192.168.2.1.If I use the gui: /usr/bin/system-config-network and set the network device to dhcp,it works fine. But if I set the IP address manually, I get no internet traffic, and if I ping an internet website, "network unreachable".The installation instructions for Oracle say that they want a full domainname. I've tried gateway.2wire.net. This worked in the last place I did a successful installation.It was the address of my ATT router. If I plunked that into a browser, I got the router configuration.
My new line provider/ISP won't give me a static IP address - it's DHCP or nothing. Is there some trick I can use to allow myself to host a web page? I was thinking of getting a static address elsewhere, like at my sometime place of employment, and redirecting, but it just moves the problem downstream.Realistically, assume I leave my computer on and hardly ever reboot (CentOS is pretty stable), then will I typically keepthe same address for weeks or months at a time? If so, I could live with logging in to my registrar a few times a year to change the address, as bizarre as that would be

I need to change the static configuration, like I 169.254.0.0, I don't know how it got there also I want to delete 192.168.1.1 from a static gateway. How can I do this?
I am trying to find out if it is possible for me to have a static ip address with my 3G usb modem ? I am using gnome network manager in Ubuntu 10.04 but it there is no option for me there for a static IPV4 address. I know with a wireless or ethernet connection you would modify /et/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and/or /etc/network/interfaces. I don't think those two would do for a PPP connection. When I go to /etc/ppp/ I see no .conf file that I could modify.
Recently, I've set up Ubuntu Server 9.10 x86_64 (no GUI). I have two NIC cards in this machine. One is a wireless card that I would like to set a static IP address to. The other is an integrated NIC. Everything works just fine when I have everything set up under DHCP. I can ping both NIC cards with no issues. But as soon as I change over to a static setting, things work unexpectedly...
Things to keep in mind:
-All machines are running under the same subnet -All machines are connected to a wireless router (freshly flashed with the latest firmware) -This is a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 9.10 x86_64
--Static IP address on the WIRED (eth0) NIC works great. No issues. Can ping from my wireless laptop, and can ping from the machine to the outside world (ping google.com) as well as the gateway itself with excellent response times.
If I then turn on the WIRESLESS (wlan0) NIC after setting up a static address for it in /etc/network/interfaces, then turning the wlan0 on by issuing "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up", wlan0 shows up, but does not have an IP address associated with it, even though I set it up as static. I also cannot ping wlan0 from my laptop. I assumed that was because I needed to restart the networking service. So after issuing "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart", I am able to ping wlan0 from my laptop with no issues.
Here is where things get strange. Lets say that I physically pull the plug on eth0. After dong this, wlan0 stops responding to the ping request that was initiated by my laptop at the same exact time. If I plug the cable back in, both eth0 and wlan0 begin to respond once again. But soon after I try to SSH to wlan0, wlan0 decides that it no longer wants to respond to the ping. I should note that it does ask me for a username and a password, but after I entered my password, the ping stops responding. Why should the wlan0 be affected in any way if something happens to eth0?
This all started when I set the server up with only a static configuration on wlan0. It appeared to be working well. I was able to ping the machine from my laptop as well as SSH into the machine. I went to bed and the next morning, I was no longer able to ping the machine. I let the ping run for a small amount of time with a few responses here and there. Then after a little more time of letting ping run, it tends to respond. Almost like I bothered it enough to decide that it was appropriate to start working again.
Ideally, I would like to have ONLY a wireless connection. But if I need to have eth0 up, it would be great to have option work as well. Bottom line is that my wireless is flukey. And I would like to find out why.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and my setup is as follows:
As you can see, I am directly connected to router 192.168.25.1, and so my ip address is 192.168.25.101. I want my ip address to be 192.168.13.101, and make router 192.168.13.1 my gateway router. Is this possible under the current physical layout (I do not want to have to connect directly into 192.168.13.1, but keep my computer where it is at)?
When I run tracepath, it shows 192.168.13.1 is one hop away.
What I've tried:
The problem is under this manual setup, I cannot ping 192.168.13.1 and running command netstat -rn returns the following:
I have an Ubuntu Server 10.04.1 that I have given a static IP address. Every six hours or so I will lose connectivity to it and when I type ifconfig to look at the network information, it has been given an address via dhcp. If I run the /etc/init.d/networking restart command the IP address goes back to my static address and things are fine for another 6 hours or so. Here is what is in my interfaces file:
auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.60.82.15 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 10.60.255.255 gateway 10.60.254.254
This machine is also a DHCP server and I checked to make sure there are no other DHCP servers on my network. Right now my fix is to have a Cron job running that runs the reset command every 5 hours, but I would like to find a more permanent solution.
I am trying to establish a static IP address using the instructions I found at:I cannot find this file in Fedora 14:Code:/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Auto_eth0
In Windows Server 2008, I can configure a static IP address with the following syntax:Code: netsh interface ipv4 set address="Local Area Connection" source=stati.10.10.11 55.255.255.0 10.10.10.1Besides editing a text file, is there a syntax I can run from terminal?
i have followed multiple guides to make my home server use a static ip address. no matter what i do it always reverts back to its dhcp address after about 2 minutes. how do i get the static ip address to stick, or be permanant.
