Fedora Networking :: F14 Server Is Looses Access To The Network Once Set A Static IP?
Apr 29, 2011
Our F14 server is looses access to the network once we set a static IP.The same IP, if used on any other pc works fine.We had the same exact setup in our F10 server also.
I assigned a static ip to my Ubuntu Server machine and it cannot access the web now. It can access anything on the LAN. The other two nodes on the network (one wifi one hardwired) can both access the web just fine.
I have an issue with network-manager. When I edit my wireless settings and enable 'Allow all users' (I have a german locale so I don't know the exact words but I guess it's close enough) the connection drops and doesn't reconnect. If I click on the wlan access point manually (in the nm-applet) it asks for my WPA pass. This is odd since it was already in the wlan settings.
Then when I reset the 'Allow ...' to off, I'm asked for my su passwd and the connection is re-established. Ideally the nm would connect automatically at boot if the AP is available so I'm not happy with the current state...
New SUSE 11.3 install connects to network/internet etc OK with DHCP-assigned IP address. When I switch to static IP, I can no longer ping internal network, or anything else. This works OK with SUSE 11.2 on same hardware and (as far as I can see) same setup. Some diagnostics are shown below.
Firewall Disabling the firewall makes no difference.
Not using a network manager (can't see how to assign fixed address if I do - all greyed out).
ifup eth0: eth0 device: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02) SuSEfirewall2: Warning: no default firewall zone defined, assuming 'ext' (not sure why the warning - eth0 is assigned to external in the firewall setup).
I need static networking to be functional on F14 to try freeipa....the problem I have is I am unable to get eth0 to start. Knowing the software it has to be eth0 or it will likely not work... The guest is in a RHEV6svr environment... So I have disabled NetworkManager and enabled networ and set manula settings in ifcfg-eth0 incl the hware address but eth0 wont start on boot....
next I tried setting a e1000 network card after the hypervisor default didnt work, only to find that this doesnt work either. The MAC addresses are changing as I try and fault find a dead DNS client issue (yet another F14 issue but lets not go there yet, it could be RHEV's "funky" NATing setup)....so I suspect F14 has got its knickers in a twist over the MAC for ETH0....I keep changing it and I suspect it cant keep up.....so I need to disable the automatic function(s), if there is one....
So somewhere down in the code there is probably a line saying eth0= <mac address> but despite greping I cant find that.....or not something that I edit and it then works.... I have tried the gui tools and command line tools and I still have no network..... So what would be a totally CLI process to fix this automated crap? ie stop F14 pointing at the wrong MAC for eth0?
I'm having mysterious wired network problem with my Karmic/9.10 machine. It hasn't been in network a while, but now I finally got the cabling done. I can't get the IP from dhcp server (TW-EA510), and static settings doesn't work either. Fresh cabling showed OK 1Gb connection on tester, and win7 laptop works fine. I even tried with long cable though the rooms, but it doesn't help, so it definately isn't the new cabling.

Motherboard is some old Lanparty with two ethernet ports, NVidia CK804 and Marvell 88E800 rev 13 Gigabit netwok adapters, neither of them works. At least another of them has been worked earlier when I last got it wired. It's been a while, so I'm not sure which one of them and with different router if that matters.
i have a problem with connecting to AP with static IP. i have set the IP, netmask, and gateway manually thru network manager but still no luck. the status is connected but i cant even open a webpage. ifconfig command output not showing the IP address i entered.
my computer with ubuntu 9.10 is in a LAN. We use static ip and do not have dhcp. I can go up to our server and browse our website but cannot access internet. my ifconfig, iwconfig, lspci are as follows...
So i have a d-link modem and the DHCP server is not running. I need to access the internal config to do some troubleshooting. IP is supposed to be 192.168.1.1, but I only have my DSL ppoe IP, and can not access it.
I'm trying to setup an Apache webserver on my computer in order to practice HTML5/CSS3 for an upcoming competition I'm in. I'm able to access my site from inside my network, but I cannot outside my network. I've had several people try, and they all report that the server just times out. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and Apache 2.2.17
In 8.04 I can use the network manager app to set a static IP.
In 8.1 the network manager doesn't seem to work. I tried many different permutations of settings and got nowhere. Even though I put in IP subnet and gateway it still does the DHCP config.
So I added lines to my /etc/networking/interfaces file like this:
auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1
I then either reboot or do this: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
This made the network manager icon in the top panel vanish. An ifconfig showed that those settings are in place but DNS doesn't seem to be working. I can ping other hosts on my network by IP but not www.yahoo.com etc.
I even read the man, that's how desperate I got! (a config like the above seems to work on my 8.04 machine except that the auto eth0 appears at the end of the file.)
I didn't see how to set the DNS server(s), unless I was in the wrong man.
I am trying to secure my LAN a little by doing static arp entries. But I am not sure how to go about doing this... I have a gateway, and I have a seperate box that runs dhcpd. I would like to assign every machine an ip and only allow it to use that ip, therefore static dhcp entries, and static arp entries on the gateway.
1. But how do I prevent someone from picking an ip that nobody is using and assigning it manually?
2. I assigned a static arp entry by doing arp -i br0 -s 2.2.2.35 00:1F:E1:CC:2E:46, how do I remove it now? I used arp -d but now it just says:
? (2.2.2.84) at <incomplete> on br0
3. I would also like each machine to have a hostname/dns.. like machinex.local, where I can do forward and reverse dns lookups, how do I config this?
4. I know static arp can be fooled if someone just clones an allow mac.. is there anything else that I could use that is more secure for wired lan?
5. I have my gateway running rflow sending all data to ntop running on my dhcp box.. Ntop is kinda cryptic, is there anything easier to use? or something that is better in features? I would like to see how much bandwidth each local ip is using and possibly what protocols, like ntop already shows.
I have a fresh install of Centos 5.x and I'm having issues on setting up the network...i know i have to edit/etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0 and create an ifcfg-eth0:0 right?im just having issues getting everything setup correctly.my network setup:Router IP: 192.168.2.1IPs on network: 192.168.2.xNetmask: 255.255.255.0
After I updated several software including Xorg server using "slackpkg update", I Ignorantly deleted configuration files without backing them up making Xorg server crashes.I try to build Xorg.conf using xorgsetup command but it crashes and spews:
Code: Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting /usr/bin/xorgsetup: line 170: 3315 Aborted /usr/X11R6/bin/X -configure
I have a Radeon 4850 Graphic Card with ATI Catalyst as its driver, so I try to reinstall the driver hoping that it will fix the problem, which is a bad logic I admit it, and It fails to uninstall (for some reason the uninstall script is gone) and reinstall (problem with file extraction).
I'm setting up a home webserver with Ubuntu 10.10 and want to configure the interface to static. I'm using a router, which is setup and working correctly. I have been using linux workstation with dhcp for some time.
I've edited my interfaces file to reflect the parameters for setting static ip, with the exception of 'network'. No matter what I put into this setting, it causes me to loose connectivity to the outside world. I've tried to put my router IP, and my IP set by my provider. What should the 'network' value be?
At this time, my 'interfaces' files only includes the following and has connectivity out to the internet:
Code:
Do I need the 'network' settings as shown in every tutorial (but never explained)?
I'm having strange difficulties in setting a static ip for my CentOS 5.4 installation. If I use DHCP everything is fine, but with a static ip I have no network connectivity. I have done this many times with RedHat/Fedora/Ubuntu etc. with no problems and now I have no idea what I'm missing or doing wrong. I have tried to set ip as 192.168.1.20 (anything below .100 will do). GW is 192.168.1.1 and NM is 255.255.255.0. This is all I have had to use with other distros, but now when I set these I cannot even access my routers admin page or ping it (192.168.1.1). (I just did this with Vista on my other machine and all worked fine).
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and i have some problems with my intel WiFi 5100AGN. After a randoom time i dont have a connection anymore and Ubuntu does not reconnect automattecly. I get an popup with the preinstalled password for my WiFi but for some reason i cant connect to it. I have a pastebin from the dmesg after it happens.: [URL]... It is tottaly randoom time it can happen in 1h and also in 6h.
i hav 2 laptops but there is only one LAN port and i recently splitted them with my own router, the problem is the internet works fine, but i cannot access the schools's network e.g. my friend's shared folder in another room, the school's shared folder, etc. i can only access my own local router network.
whenever I try and acces my windows network it just says "Failed To Receive Share List From Server"It has previously worked fine in ubuntu and suse. Anyway I can get this to work?
I want my Ubuntu desktop to have a static ip-address, i have altered the interfaces file to the below and also filled the info regarding my wireless network card but still every time I reboot the desktop gets the ip 10.42.43.1, HOW is that possible???
I use a apple time capsule router, I want my desktop to run a apache server thats why I need the static ip. I also want the static ip to be set on the wireless network interface. I have an old laptop with an internal Intel pro 2200 card so there should not be a driver problem.
This i my interfaces config code...
To be on the sure side to get this to work I have configured my router(DHCP) to give my wireless-HWaddress the ip of 10.0.1.15, STILL the ubuntu desktop starts with the false address above.
I wanted to have a static local IP on my server,But on my 192*.168.1.1, there's a place where ic an see all devices, and before, the displayed name was "STASH" and with the update i put, it'S now "--", but i'd like to keep my old one..
I want to set up a static IP on my laptop that connects via wireless to my home network. I have 11.04 installed on my laptop. When I try to use the manual IPv4 setting in the network manager the save option gets greyed out. I tried to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file but all the examples I could find on the net refer to eth0. I tried replacing this with wlan0 but this did not work. I tried installing wicd but I kept getting "Bad Password" errors even though I know the password is correct. A number of people recommended uninstalling network manager to get wicd to work but many other posts said that uninstalling network manager didn't help so I didn't want to go ahead and uninstall unnecessarily. Besides I figure if Ubuntu is distributed with network manager there must be a reason for having it. So what do I do to get a static IP address for the client on a wireless connection?
1. I went to network manager and selected "Connection Information" On the information window I saw the following:
IPv4 IP Address: 192.168.1.6 (This is the item I wanted to change and make static) Broadcast Address: 192.168.1.255 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
[code].....
2. I went to network manager and selected "Edit Connections" 3. I selected the wireless tab and then the wireless network I wanted to edit 4. I clicked on the edit button and then I clicked on the IPv4 settings tab. 5. I changed method from Automatic (DHCP) to Manual
I decided to take the plunge and change the existing static ip configuration for my home network to a dynamic (DHCP) configuration. The DHCP server in this new network config is my gt701-wg actiontec DSL modem.
I'm using ubuntu server 10.04. I need to create a second network to do some testing. Here's what it looks like so far: WAN > x.x.x.x/9 > router > 192.168.1.0/24 > LAN
I need to do this: WAN > x.x.x.x/9 > router > 192.168.1.0/24 > LAN > ubuntu server (LAMP, dhcp, dns via eth1) [eth0 192.168.1.138] > ubuntu server [eth1 10.0.0.1] The two networks should be transparent to one another. I've got everything working, except routing. Here is ifconfig:
I've been using slackware for many years. I think I started with Slack 8. I know how to configure the network, I've had this same POS Dell computer for a few years now but the other day I tried to go to a different distro (first mistake) everything worked fine but it was not for me. Once you go slack you never go back! Anyway I had slack on here prior to the change and it all worked fine. I'm running slack 13 and all of a sudden my network is slow as balls! I set it up as I always have so I did some research and tried a few things, nothing worked. So i enabled DHCP and its fine now.. I have a dell xps 420. onboard intel nic. worked fine when i first installed slack 13. Anyone have any clue what to do? I would like my static IP on this machine.
I am having a problem with when I bind a static IP to my NIC I loose all network connectivity but, if i leave it set to dhcp it works fine. I've gone over all my settings a thousand times and they are all correct. Has anyone else had this problem or give me a hint as to what the problem might be?
