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 am trying to configure a computer to make it as DHCP server.Well, my current connection is PPPOE.So, I should assign one interface to connect as PPPOE, and the other will be broadcast DHCP server.What configuration shall I apply to the dhcp.conf file?

I have an ARM system that has been pre-loaded with some variant of Linux. I don't know the distribution; I can only see the kernel number in dmesg.
In /etc/network/interfaces, I set eth0 to
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
After I save and reboot (or run ifdown eth0 followed by ifup eth0), I can see that the networking system is searching for a DHCP server and actually obtains a lease on a valid IP address, but when I run ifconfig, the interface has not been assigned the address that it pulled down from DHCP. It has been assigned a 192.168.. address.
I noticed in dmesg that a variable "ip" is passed to the kernel at boot with the same address that is overriding my DHCP address. How can I disable this overriding behavior? I noticed a dynamic environment variable in u-boot called ip. I set it dhcp and saved it to nv storage, but the problem persisted. I tried to set the u-boot environment variable ipaddr to dhcp, but was informed that this wasn't a valid value for the variable.How can I get the interface to be configured through DHCP?

I would like an old desktop box to use my laptop as a router to access the internet. Here is my setup:
I have one ethernet port in the side of my laptop which I want to use to get internet access to my desktop computer. The laptop is connected to the LAN via a wireless link. Both systems run Linux. The desktop autoconfigures itself using DHCP. The laptop is a Kubuntu system. I do not have any crossover cables, though wireshark on the laptop sees the DHCP requests from the desktop just fine, so I doubt that I need one.
What do I have to do to make this work?

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 have trouble connecting to internet when connecting using pppoe-start, even though it says it's connected and the pppoe interface is there. I test the connection by sending a ping to a known IP address and got "destination unreachable".

I was able to connect to internet using PPPoE until I configured Samba network and set the machine as its server; does this two related? Is it possible there's a conflicting configuration, say DNS server config for example?

I have a linux box (fedora) with two ethernet cards eth1 and eth2. On eth1 I successfully configured a PPPOE internet connection. Such that from the server I can browse the internet. On eth2 I wired it to a wireless router essentially to provide the wireless cloud. On eth2 I also configured dhcp, such that the Linux box is both PPPOE and DHCP server.However my clients on the LAN cannot access the Internet.
On passing the routing command I get
Destination Gateway Iface
196.44.x.y 0.0.0.0 ppp0
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 eth2 (my subnet)
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ppp0.
The router (functioning as a wireless access point mainly) has a fixed IP address of 192.168.1.2 and eth2 has IP address 192.168.1.1. The dhcp file running on Linux has been set with option router (Gateway) 192.168.1.1. I cannot figure out how to correctly set the routing table such that my clients on wireless can access the internet cloud. I googled and googled but no solid solution. Any suggestions?

I am using 2 VPS machines on VMware workstation.The older one is Debian 5.0 ( Lenny ) and I have successfully installed Static IP to networking and it works fineithout any problems.I just installed another Debian 5.0.6 ( Latest ) Lenny and installed another static IP. It's partially working and partially not.

Recently, I have encountered a problem when setting my network configuration.I want to automatically get an IP address through DHCP at system startup, and this can be done by editing /etc/network/interfaces file, adding
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
The problem is that I want to set a static DNS, but DHCP will automatically overwritten /etc/resolv.conf file.
What should I do?

I have a MB with 2 NICs and on 1 I would like to have a static IP, on the other a DHCP for a local network.The problem is the DHCP provided gateway is made default vs the one for the static IP and resolv.conf is overwritten.Any suggestions how could this be resolved? I can tweak both the DHCP server settings and the box settings.

I tried to setting a static ip from dhcp, I changed lines in /etc/rc.d rc.inet1.conf as follow:
# Config information for eth0:
#IPADDR[0]=""
IPADDR[0]="192.168.18.7"
#NETMASK[0]=""
NETMASK[0]="255.255.255.0"
#USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
USE_DHCP[0]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""
and then I run "/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart"
after that, can't access net, and couldn't ping the gateway[192.168.18.1], I have to change it back

My ISP provides my internet via DHCP. I have a home wireless router to provide internet access, wired for my desktop machine and wireless for my laptop. My question is: Is it possible to configure the router (the Access Point) to provide internet to the desktop and the laptop via static IP? Currently I have managed to configure the internet to them via DHCP and it works. I am just curious to know whether it is possible to provide the internet for them by static IPs, given that the internet that actually goes into the Access Point (the wireless home router), is DHCP.I fiddled with this a lot yesterday, but I only managed to get a working configuraton by DHCP for both the desktop and the laptop. If I supply them with static IPs, I can only ping the Access Point, but not beyond it. So does it at all make any sense to try to configure them by static IPs, i.e. is that virtually possible?

basically I set the static ip address:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto seth0
iface seth0 inet static
[code]....
Restart networking:
"sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart"
Everything is fine but 24 hours later the server resets to the DHCP address assigned to it. I have not installed any GUI im just running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS in Hyper V. After it resets to DHCP I log into it using the dhcp address and reset the networking service "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart". It goes back to the static IP specified in interfaces. I have rebooted several times but every 24 hours it resets.
BTW - Before someone asks about iface seth0 instead of it being iface eth0. It is a Hyper V module running.[URL]
Also FYI-
# ps -ef | grep dhclient
root 1234 1 0 May19 ? 00:00:00 dhclient3 -e IF_METRIC=100 -pf /var/run/dhclient.seth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp3

I have 2 Ethernet connections, one (eth0) for the internet which gets set with dhcp, and one (eth1) for my internal network on which I have dhcp3-server running. I set eth1 to use static IP in interfaces, but every time I reset the network, it is fine for a couple of minutes, and switches over do being served by my own dhcp server on the same machine. (the interfaces file clearly says "iface eth1 inet static")

I'm have a number of ubuntu servers that all have dual nics.One interface is used to assign a static public ip and the other is used to assign a static internal IP that can be used on the internal network.The interfaces pull IP's from completely separate gateways on different networks.The problem I face now it that our internal network is moving everything to DHCP on the internal side.I can configure my /etc/network/interfaces so that I can get a public static Ip and a private DCHP, but the problem is that the public IP no longer functions for any services.here is an example of my interfaces
Code:
# The primary network interface
auto eth0

my system is belkin router with dhcp enabled.connected are: win xp desktop, win7 netbook, ps3 and fujtisu laptop with ubuntu 10.10, advent notebook xp. right now i have everything getting its ip addy over dhcp but i want to set static ip for each machine. (so the ps3 can run dmz and ocasionally the belkin changes ip address even tho the lease time is set to forever) i can do this with the windoze machines but i do not know how to set static ip and other info for the ubuntu machine.i did search for the forum for 'static ip' but the results that appeared were nothing to do with dhcp!

Where I work we use almost exclusively Ubuntu 8.04 in command-line only form. I need to know if it is possible to configure one of these devices to use DHCP and a given Static IP at the same time. I know how to do one, or the other, but not both. #1. Is this possible?
#2. If so, how?P.S. Yes, I did look around before I asked this, but I could not find anything. Maybe I suck at searching?

ps3 lan, psp wan, xp desktop lan, netbook W7 wan, fujitsu laptop ubuntu wan for surfing but often lan for large files, android 2.1 phone wan, mac sawtooth G3 (rarley) lan. near future, tablet wan, crappy ancient laptop xp lan rarely.next week i am having 6TB DS211j NAS (omg cant wait)I think, from what i have been reading, that moving to a static ip for each device will be better suited.I manage the belkin router from the ubuntu latop and wondered what the best way to proceed is, which first, what order etc etc.I can understand what needs to be done, i have the primary dns and ip numbers and mac address for every device ( the network is mac filtered)
so how would you begin...... a peice of paper and some drawings i have ready to plan it out.the reason i choose to change from dhcp to static is because of the arrival of the DS112j. from my understanding this device would benefit from never having its ip changed on the network. There have been times when the ip has changed on some of the devices in the past when the belkin has suffered a power failure or reset.

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 have installed fedora 14 minimum install and I have configured my machine for Static IP but now i cant reach any external sites or repository, in fact all i can do is ssh to the box. below is the configuration in my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file:
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="static"
BROADCAST="10.27.18.255"
IPADDR="10.27.18.117"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
[Code]....
and my DNS is setup to point to my ISP's primary and secondary DNS servers. I have brought the interface down then up after each change but still cannot ping anything.

I'm new to the forum and actually to Debian as well. Have been running Ubuntu for the past few years. Just setup a small Dell laptop to use as a Squeezebox and Print server. It's been up 6 days without a hitch as far as serving music to the squeezebox and printing. The problem is that it loses it's static IP, so as long as I look it up and change the radio Squeezebox and printer definitions around on the clients everything keeps working.
Does anyone have any ideas?If the connection drops for some reason and the system has to re-initialize the connection, shouldn't it use the /etc/network/interfaces file and get back to the static IP that it is configured for?If anyone has any ideas of why this could be happening or have a solution, I would really appreciate the help.
