i was trying to setup a static ip in order to forward ports but with no luck. I need to setup these:
- IP address: 192.168.1.2
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
- Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
- Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.1.1
I'm not able to set up eth0 with a static ip adress.service network restart and it was okkay but when I try to turn off and turn on, the ip adress is set up with dhcp.

Here's my setup. I have the modem connected to a switch (wired) that connects 2 PCs to the internet (one desktop, one server, both wired).
All of the threads I see that discuss static IPs seem to require that I set up a router. Is this necessary? Can I still transfer files through a switch?

Problem to setup static IP

[code]....
I want to run networking on my laptops in different environment (home, office, airport etc). I found that Netowrk Manager assigns information from DHCP although I requested fixed IP and configured the gateway and DNS. If I reconfigure the DHCP server so that there is no free IP address, the laptop refuses to connect. When I remove the interfaces from the network manager, I get the fixed IP address, /etc/resolv.conf is not overwritten from DHCP but WiFi connection cannot be established, there is no dialog for setting WPA-PSK. The static IP address seems to be taken into account only if the DHCP server is not found. I need the static address at home and in my office because I need the possibility to ssh to my laptop from another computer but I need IP from DHCP possibly authenticating against RADIUS (Eduroam) when travelling somewhere else. Is there an easy way how to achieve it and how to switch profiles easily? And I cannot switch DHCP off because some devices in my LAN cannot work without it.

1- steps to follow so that I switch from dynamic to static IP

I've seen a lot of questions on the forum about static IP's and how often people have problems configuring them. Here is how it works:
If you have a router in your network, the router is the boss. You can configure anything you want in your computer's network manager, but in the end, the router will win. Say you have 3 computers and configure each one for a static IP. If the router is still set to assign IP's dynamically, it may want to ignore that unless you boot the computers in order of IP#. In other words if you set your IP's to .001. .002, and .003 you have to boot the one with .001 first to be sure it gets that IP.
If you boot .002 first the router wants to assign it the first IP in the list; .001. If the computer will only accept .002 the router may (or may not depending on the router) eventually assign it .002, or you end up with a power struggle between the computer and the router, and have no connection to that computer.
That said sometimes setting IP's on each computer works, at least most of the time, again depending on the router. Some routers will assign the same IP to the same computer when each has individual settings, but even then you still have to deal with settings on each computer; a lot of work. And at some point you will probably still have a glitch or problem, at least temporarily. In my experience setting static IP's on the computers is hit or miss in the long run.
If you set the static IP's in the router and make sure the router recognizes each computer by it's MAC address it's a done deal. You can boot the computers in any order, they will always be assigned the same IP, and you don't have to do anything on any of your your computers or in your network managers to make it happen. Bada bing, bada boom, done. Less work, more stable network, fewer headaches.

I imagine that there is already a thread for setting up a static IP, but I haven't been able to find it yet, so here we go.I have recently installed Fedora 15 on home machine. I have a very simple home network. Belkin wireless router with Window and Linux systems. The router is setup to be DHCP server. Router is setup to have lease time = Forever. Even with this setup, my router is assigning different IP address for my linux machine every time I boot the machine. So I would like to setup a static IP on my Linux.From my research so far, I'm suppose to make some changes to the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. But I don't have this file in this folder. Should I just create this fil

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have just installed Fedora 10 on an old laptop and was quite impressed with how smoothly it all went ... until it came to setting up networking!
I have battled for three days now and I'm almost there;
- installed updated firmware to the built in Broadcom 4306 wireless network adapter
- got NetworkManager to work with a static ip address by manually editing the ifcfg-wlan0 file
- managed to get the WPA security to work
The only problem I am left with is that there is no default route; if I set one up using: ip r a default via 10.1.1.1 dev wlan0
Then everything starts working.
If I try to add routes using the NetworkManager gui interface they dont get saved (no suprises there then! ).
I have tried creating a route-wlan0 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ but this seems to be ignored by NetworkManager.
Since the NetworkManager GUI is almost useless, does anyone know if there are any other configuration files I can manually modify to get a default route set?
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.
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!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm pulling my hair out to figure out what's gone wrong. I have a small home network with a router and 4 computers, 3 linux boxes and 1 windoze machine.The windoze machine and 2 of the linux boxes (newer ones, one with FC11 and the other with Ubuntu Hardy) are using the router's "Set Static IP" option just fine. However an older FC5 machine I have always gets its IP assigned randomly. As this is the machine I ssh into from overseas via a Dynamic DNS, this is a huge frustration when the power goes off or I need to restart the machine. It's usually 192.168.0.2 but sometimes 192.168.0.3 and occasionally other numbers as well. It _should_ be 192.168.0.130. As near as I can tell, I'm doing everything the same between the machines. The router config is very simple and works for the other systems so I suspect I may have a legacy tweak that I did years ago that's causing the problem.
Anyone know what I can try? I'm afraid I'm not a networking guru (ahem, wouldn't be posting if I were!) so things like "check the this" will be more helpful if there's a clear example. "Check the this...emacs /etc/thisfile/config" and see if XYZ option is TRUE" is far more useful. Again, many thanks. If none of the systems were working right then it would be totally different...but 3 seem to work just fine and happily get their assigned static IPs. It's the one non-conformist that's the trouble...
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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an old pc that I would like to use as a headless server for my music, files, etc that I can access at work and other places outside of my network. I'm a complete noob in this department so please excuse my overwhelming ignorance. The only thing I've managed to succeed at was installing fedora 13. Two things in particular are giving me trouble: 1.)setting up my router and fedora box so that it has a static ip address and 2.)connecting to the fedora box via vncviewer on my laptop.
HERE ARE SOME QUICK SPECS THE DEVICES INVOVLED:
Fedora Box: Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHz, 1GB ram, Fedora 13
Laptop: Toshiba Satellite A505, Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 2.20GHz, 4GB ram, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Router: D-Link WBR-1310
ISP: Comcast (cable)
HERE'S WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR:
Setting Static IP
On the fedora 13 box:
1.)Went to Network Connections and added a new connection
2.)Copied mac address from the default connection
3.)On IPv4 tab, added new address: 192.168.0.200 (this is out of the range which my router will assign automatically) netmask 255.255.255.0, set gateway to 198.168.0.1(router's ip on the network)
When I connect to this new connection web pages don't load, etc. but when I'm on the default connection I have no problems.
Connecting With Vnc Viewer
On the fedora 13 box:
1.)System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop
2.)Under Sharing I checked "Allow other users to view your desktop" and "Allow other users to control your desktop"
3.)Under Security I unchecked "Ask you for confirmation", checked "Require the user to enter this password", and specified a password
On the router
1.)Set up port forwarding for port 5900, TCP only, to the ip address of the fedora box.
On the laptop
1.)Installed VNCViewer
2.)Went to whatsmyip(dot)org to get ip address of router
3.)Tried to connect to that address, port 5900 (ex. ##.##.##.###::5900)
4.)Connection times out everytime.
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 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.

What I want to do is only allow people who have pre-determined MAC addresses to get an address to get on my network. That being said I have a VM set up as a DHCP Server. Since doing this I will be setting the dhcp settings on my router to be a forwarder to the VM. Is there a way to allow only static leases in the dhcpd.conf file? I do not just any computer on my network to get an address I want to base it on MAC addresses.
