Fedora Networking :: Dhclient Cannot Find Interfaces
Sep 29, 2010
I am running Fedora 13 and after my machine is booted my ethernet interface eth0 does not have an IP address. Running
Code:
At the terminal does not work, and I can see that in /var/log/messages I have the following error:
Code:
I assume that the same command was attempted during the boot process (please correct me if I am wrong) to use DHCP to get an address for eth0, but failed for the same reason it is failing after boot when I run it manually, whatever that reason may be.
I noted, however, that eth0 IS in broadcast mode:
Code:
I also noted that running
Code:
Does in fact work and will run DHCP and configure eth0 with an ip address.
It is quite mysterious to me why running 'dhclient eth0' will work, but manually running 'dhclient' does not.

I got a full system crash each time I try to do anything with network. Been fighting with this problem for weeks now. What I did: -tried every driver for broadcom4312 and it turned out that it even crashes with cable net
-got rid of networkmanager
(
Mar 11 08:01:43 geburah NetworkManager: <info> Activation (eth1) successful, device activated.
Mar 11 08:01:43 geburah NetworkManager: <info> Activation (eth1) Stage 5 of 5 (IP Configure Commit) complete.
)
used:
ifconfig eth1 up

Code:
Commands as root works well when normal user is logged in and connected to net via KDE 4 network manager, but after logoff network is gone. And it is impossible to get it back because command mentioned above stops working!

I have just installled fedora, and I am puzzled by dhclient-script. Because it gives the router ip as nameserver 192.168.0.1. I have had other linux distro on same machine that resolves the correct nameserver without any configuring.
Does anyone know how to get your ISP:s nameservers instead in /etc/resolv.conf when running dhclient from CLI? I have thought about edit /sbin/dhclient-script. But if that is the case. Which option should I edit?

I have a weird issue that I have not seen on any forum. My jaunty on DELL studio laptop seems connected to net, but I can not access any network service (ssh, firefox etc.). But when I connect a cable the cable lights blink as it should be and in wireless connection my wifi light blinks.
It was working 2 days ago without problem, and I have not done big changes recently.I removed and reinstalled network-manager and network-manager-gnome. Nothing changed. I see a message in each restart as follows (when Openafs is starting). I can reproduce it with "/etc/init.d/openafs-client restart"
Code:
ADVISEADDR:error in specifying interfaces: no existing ip interfaces found
#lspci
Code:
04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100
08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5784M Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 10)
#lshw -c network

If I try to add a new interface (eth1) to /etc/network/interfaces, I get
Code:
* Reconfiguring network interfaces... SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
[Code]...
How do I add 2 interfaces and get anyone of them to work, as available ?

- eth0 is connected to a 'Green" interface of a smoothwall router.
- eth1 is connected to a 'Orange' interface of the same smoothwall router.
The smoothwall router is setup to forward port 80 to the address of the eth1. I can ping eth1 from the smoothwall router so there is that connection.I have a web server running on port 80 and I have opened port 80 in the firewall and made eth1 a trusted interface.In this configuration, when accessing the outside world all the traffic goes through eth0 and DNS is snappy and faster. The problem is that anyone outside can not access the web server with a timeout error.If I disable eth0 and set DNS info on eth1( DNS servers are the QWest IPs ), people can access the web server, but DNS is very poor often taking more than a minute for a look up.Is there any way to get the two interfaces to work together?

I found problem in FC 12 release. I installed fc 12 to server (earlier there was FC 7). Then as always i realised that names of interfaces (eth0, eth1, eth2 .... eth9) changed after install. eth0 became eth9, eth1 became eth5 ... Earlier on previous fedora releases i solved this problem correcting HWADDR in ifcfg-eth files, so i linked MAC addresses to names (eth0, eth1, eth2) as i wanted in a right order. Now I can't do this. After correcting these files and restarting network sevice i constantly get a message: device ... has different mac than expected. I looked ifup-eth file and compare it with the same one in fedora 7. And i found that in fedora 7 there is function rename_device which processes if HWADDR value doen't coincide with real mac address value. See code:
# remap, if the device is bound with a MAC address and not the right device num
# bail out, if the MAC does not fit
if [ -n "${HWADDR}" ]; then
FOUNDMACADDR=`get_hwaddr ${REALDEVICE}`
if [ "${FOUNDMACADDR}" != "${HWADDR}" ]; then
curdev=`get_device_by_hwaddr ${HWADDR}`
if [ -n "$curdev" ]; then
rename_device "${REALDEVICE}" "${HWADDR}" "${curdev}" || {
echo $"Device ${DEVICE} has different MAC address than expected, ignoring."
[Code].....
But in fc 12 release there is no function rename_device!!!!!!!!! So in this case if HWADDR value is not the same as FOUNDMACADDR value (which equal to REALDEVICE mac address) i just get an error message So I can't change interfaces names, as result i can't organize right order of network interfaces as it was earlier on fc7.

So I have two network Interfaces
eth0 - NAT behind a router
eth1 - Public IP
When ever I restart the machine, both interfaces pull a IP, but the it randomly chooses eth0 or eth1 to have the gateway. I want the gateway to be eth0 always.
[Code]...
Is there some file or setting I can modify in Fedora10 that will always choose 192.168.1.1 on eth0 as the default gateway?

If I restart the network service, not all interfaces come back up. Is this expected behaviour or does something need a kick?
Code:
[root@@aspire3500 ~]$ service network restart
Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ]
Shutting down interface wlan0: [ OK ]
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
[root@@aspire3500 ~]$

I'm having trouble getting Fedora 15 to work with my em/bond/br configuration as it did in Fedora 14. I've got a bonding interface over em1 and em2, and then individual bond vlans (bond0.2, bond0.10, etc...), I then have a similarly named bridge interface (br0.2, br0.10, etc...) for kvm. Regardless of if I assign bond0.2 or br0.2 the IP address, I am unable to ping the gateway, but the native untagged VLAN (bond0, br0) has no issue at all.
To try to isolate this issue down to the switch or Fedora 15, I went with a plain em setup and configured em1, and em1.2 which works as expected. This issue has been plaguing me since Fedora 15 came out and I'm about to trash it and go back to Fedora 14 (Which didn't have this issue), but some of the new kvm features have kept me trying to get over this incomprehensible hump.

This may be a very basic question but I was wondering if there is a way through the command line to find out which interfaces are using dhcp. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 in case that makes a difference.

Had a problem getting my internet connection working with Ubuntu, but I resolved that issue. Problem is I still have to manually run dhclient every time Ubuntu boots, because I have no network unless I do. Is there a script or something that can do this automatically?

For test purposes I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 from a USB stick with a USB WLAN stick.The system finds the WLAN router and acquires an IP6 address, but no IP4 address.With "dhclient wlan0" though it does get an IP4 address and connects o.k.How do I setup the system so that this dhclient call is done by the system at startup (or whenever it is necessary)?

I have a simple server running Ubuntu Server. Usually the server connects to the network by Wifi, so there is usually no cable connected to the Ethernet port. I noticed that there is a dhclient3 running on eth0 anyway. It is causing undesirable disk activity. Obviously, it is never going to get a response as long as no cable is connected. I can kill the responsible process manually, but I wonder first what is starting the process and how I can prevent it from being started. If there is a way to get the server to boot without starting this process, I wonder whether this is the right solution. Connecting to the network by Ethernet is the failsafe when Wifi doesn't work. I guess what I would like to see would be a way for the server to detect when eth0 does not have a cable connected and not start dhclient in that case, but to activate dhclient when a cable is connected.

i've configured the machine to use a static ip yet dhclient still runs and obtains an ip. what needs to be done to stop this? it has to be something i can put in a script since i have written a setup script to run on several machines. this setup script creates/modifies several files with a few key ones shown below:
/etc/sysconfig/network
Quote:
HOSTNAME=csec7154
NETWORKING=yes
NISDOMAIN=csma
NTPSERVERARGS=iburst
[code]....
and the files, hosts, resolv.conf, network and ifcfg-eth0 in the /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default directory all link to their respective files as does /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0. thanx!

I used ssh to log into my sever that I had and I from there I ran the command dhclient eth by mistake on the server but the serve had an static IP address. Unfortunately I can't ssh back into the server anymore! It replies back with No route not host. Now my questions are. First of all how do I change it back into the previous setting? Secondly, can I do this remotely since the server is in another place and I don't have access to it right now or do I have to go there and sit behind it and play around with it there?

On my PC (fresh FC11 i386 instllataion from CDs), dhclient doesn't work. When it tries to get an IP address with dhclient, it gets No DHCPOFFERS reveived and fails. The ethernet of my PC works fine - I can manually set IP address, netmask, gateway etc. to connect to my persoal Linksys router, but if I change to DHCP, it fails as above. So it's not the problem of the ethernet driver of FC11. I suspect that dhclient of FC11 is buggy. (For the record, DHCP works fine on FC10 and Windows XP with my Linksys router.)

I am trying to install dhcp server on F12 with yum, but at the time I issue yum install dhcp, I got the following message:

Is this ok [y/N]: y
Downloading Packages:

And I see that if I uninstall the dhclient package, I will lose my networkmanager, which I also need, is there a way to have a dhcp server as well as dhclient utility on fedora as it is possible on rhel?
