General :: Fedora 7 Machine Browses Internet On DHCP / But Fails Completely On Static Address
Aug 3, 2010
I am struggling with what might be a minor problem. I have a home computer which I would like to setup as a webserver and hence give it a static IP address. It is connected to by wire to a router that is connected to the WAN via PPPOE. If I enable the network card on DHCP it works fine in browsing the web. If I now set it to static IP address it does not brown. Essentially I use the command setup to run the static IP setup. I then set my IP address to 192.168.254.X , the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and the default gateway to 192.168.254.1 (this is the router connected to the WAN). I am able to ping the router, however when I try and browse on static it does not work. Your help will be most appreciated as this has taken way too long to solve and I have Googled as much without success.

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.
My files are as follows:

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!

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.

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 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 create Xen virtual machines.
I created a domu.cfg file with:
xen-create-nfs --ip 192.168.13.2 --broadcast 192.168.13.255 --gateway 192.168.13.1 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --nameserver 192.168.13.1 --initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.18.0 --kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.18.0 --memory 4096M --mac 00:16:3e:01:01:01 --nfs_server myserver --nfs_root /var/exports/myhost --hostname myhost
I initialized it with:
xt-install-image --cache yes --dist wheezy --apt_proxy http://192.168.13.1:3142/ --mirror http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ --location /var/exports/myhost
Then I started the domu with:
xl create /etc/xen/domu.cfg -c
And I receive this message telling me dhcp is used as I specified static ip:
IP-Config: eth0 hardware address 00:16:3e:01:01:01 mtu 1500 DHCP RARP
What can I do to desactivate the dhcp client?
remark: I used this equivalent former configuration with qemu-kvm and I booted with static ip without any problem.

I want to setup 1Gbps our lab network and we purchased 'Buffulo Giga layer switch ' with 24ports. Is there a way to tell DHCP to assign specific IP to a particular MAC address of a machine ? We want to use DHCP and whatever the port we use ,it should have same IP ..

This one has been bugging me for some time now. The network interface (as defined in Debian's /etc/network/interfaces file) fails to obtain an IP address from myuter. However dhclient br0 does.I'm using br0 since I run a XP virtual machine.network/interface changes are from a Debian howto on setting up the tap interface.As near as I can tell, the /etc/init.d/networking script basically calls /sbin/ifup -a. ifup is a binary.My /etc/network/interfaces file is:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1

I was trying to assign the static IP address of my internet connection to my home server and managed to make a mess of it. I've configured the router to assign it the address every time but when I rebooted everything the server is cut off from the network completely (rather unfortunate with a headless server...). The only file I've edited on the server when trying to do this is /etc/network/interfaces, everything else network related is default. My intention in editing the file was to make the server accept the IP address assigned by the router since the router was already configured to assign the right one. I put in
Code: inet dhcp in the /etc/network/interfaces file, is that wrong? What is that line supposed to be?

I've only been using linux for a few days so I don't know all the tricks. I'm pretty savy configuring windows networks however.My adapter is (according to windows) a: CNet PRO200WL PCI fast ethernet adapterLinux says it is a: 21x4x DEC-tulip compatible 10/100 EthernetI do seem to be getting an ip address from the DHCP router, but I cannout ping any other ips or connect to the internet.I've tried a bunch of different options, switching things back and forth, but it still doesn't work, and honestly i don't even know what some of the options mean.
ALSO, if this helps:
paladin:~ # ifconfig eth0
Eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:A1:03:3C:99

I've set up a permanent DHCP lease for my MAC address. I did this hoping to resolve the fact that I share my Internet ADSL connection with my wife and my daughter (the latter a great bandwidth hog)!

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'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 am in a production environment where ip addresses are configured in dchp but when I changes the ip address (public or private ip) of any one system then after restarting the network service it gives the message that the ip is used by any other host in the network.

I am doing a test on MAC learning and for that ,I need to change my MAC address of linux machine while the interface is UP. To be more clear, consider eth1 in a fedora core 8 machine. And while the interface is UP. I am running a script which changes the MAC address from 10:1:1:1:1:1 to 50:50:50:50:50:50 (i.e 50 times MAC address is changed) . When I try to change the MAC address when the interface it UP, it gives me the following error :
siocsifhwaddr : device or resource busy
I know the way of changing the MAC address by bringing down the interface but I need to know if this can be done while the interface is UP.

I have an odd thing going on with DNS. I have two machine's running Ubuntu and for some reason they do not always resolved internet addresses on my Internet connection. This has gone on since the Ubuntu 8.04 when I first started using Ubuntu. Anyway, I use OpenDNS' DNS servers and I have been running perfectly.
This is what is odd. My Windows XP Machine never has the problem. It always resolves. Does Windows Possibly have some Microsoft hosted DNS server hard coded in there as a backup? Things are working fine this way so I am not looking to change. I am just a little puzzled and finally got around to asking, "Why is this".

I am puzzled with trying to configure a linux (openSUSE) client to dhcp to eBox DHCP server. I am using dhclient to lease an IP address with dhclient eth0 -s 10.45.48.108 and get a response
openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 10.45.48.108 port 67 interval 4
openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: DHCPOFFER from 10.45.48.108
openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 10.45.48.108 port 67
openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: send_packet: Network is unreachable
openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: send_packet: please consult README file regarding broadcast address.
The server reports eBox141 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:0c:29:3e:57:a3 (openSUSE11232CL1.domain.net) via eth0
eBox141 dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.45.200.2 to 00:0c:29:3e:57:a3 (openSUSE11232CL1.domain.net) via eth0
I interpret this as the server receives the request and the client accepting it but the lease does not last long and the connection breaks. what this could be and why the connection breaks? Or my undestanding is totally wrong on how it works and should work? And BTW, where is that README file that's referenced in the message I receive on the client?

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'm getting ready to install F10 x64 on a Supermicro 7045A-3B on an SAS; I would like to partition the drives free space; I have an OS (Windows 2003 Server R2 x64; sorry still have a few apps that need it; can't wait for the day I can see the end of MS on my computers) on it and I don't want to hose it.
Motherboard: X7DA3
16 GB RAM
Adaptec AIC-9410 SAS Controller (Dual 136 GB Seagate SAS drives in RAID 0)
I also have 1 SATA Drive bay; maybe I could install Windoze on it; but I still need to know how to install F10 on an SAS. So far my stumbling block has been when I click on advanced storage device; when it ask for Network configuration I add my Static IP; it fails; I note that it does this on all installs of F10 on other computers as well; but installed with no problem; problem here seems to get past that after hitting cancel; going back I get to Add iSCSI; I have no idea what information to put in blocks: Target IP Address, iSCSI Initiator Name, CHAP User name, password and reverse info for them. I do admit how that I don't think I need to add an iSCSI device; I just don't see the SAS as an option and don't know how to add it.

Fresh install of Fedora 11 x86_64, ext4 file system, Intel Quad, 1 Tb disk
Went through install, defined mike as user with password
reboot, get graphic login (init 5); cannot login as mike OR AS ROOT!! (unable to authenticate)
use live cd, reset inittab to start at level 3
reboot, get user prompt on terminal at level 3
enter mike and password, system wait a minute or more, returns to login prompt (obviously timing out --- dbus problem???)
enter root and password, get in, issue startx
open terminal window, and issue "su mike" command, ten minutes later, finally get terminal with mike as user.
Use ctrl-alt-F2 to get a terminal, type mike, and password, no joy; login as root and type "su mike". Go back to Gnome screen at F7, so I can continue to type this , and check back at F2 periodically to see if "su mike" ever takes. After three minutes, still no joy. After five minutes, it worked. whoami shows "mike"

I have a network with one of the server machine being under Fedora 14 and the clients machines being under Windows 7 and Fedora 14.
Quite often I get some difficulties for the clients to get an IP address from the dhcp server. If I look at the server logs, it looks like the server sees the requests and sends and answer:
Apr 12 19:33:18 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:21:70:c5:22:4e via eth1
Apr 12 19:33:18 dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.28.52 to 00:21:70:c5:22:4e via eth1
Apr 12 19:33:23 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:21:70:c5:22:4e via eth1
Apr 12 19:33:23 dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.28.52 to 00:21:70:c5:22:4e via eth1
