Networking :: DHCP Server - Losing Static IP Address

Nov 10, 2010

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.

Ubuntu Networking :: Static IP Address And The Install Configures For A DHCP Configured Address - Network Not Starting

Dec 16, 2010

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:

Networking :: Can't Change From Dhcp To Static Ip Address

Jan 16, 2010

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.

Networking :: Configure A (openSUSE) Client To Dhcp To EBox DHCP Server - Lease An IP Address

Mar 25, 2010

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?

Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Use Static Ip On Dhcp Server

Aug 17, 2010

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")

Ubuntu Networking :: Server: Dhcp - No Static - Cannot Ping Router ?

Dec 9, 2010

Fresh install of 10.04.1 server; installs seamlessly; finds network no problem.

However, establishing static connection is driving me batty. Will not take. I've reconfigured "interfaces" file several times. My fingers are numb ifdown-ing and ifup-ing and /etc/init.d/network restart-ing.

I have two files in /etc/network ... interfaces and interfaces~ (one static and the other dhcp). I can switch them in and out of play. The dhcp works and pings out like a champ. static is dead, just dead. Cannot ping router ... nothing.

Debian Installation :: Xen Domu Creation With Nfs Static Address Boots On Dhcp

Dec 11, 2014

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.

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.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wired Network - Can't Get The IP From Dhcp Server (TW-EA510) And Static Settings Doesn't Work

Feb 16, 2011

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.

Log from the router after issuing #"dhclient":
Feb 16 23:01:43 DHCP SERVER: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:01:29:fb:c5:d1 via br0
Feb 16 23:01:43 DHCP SERVER: DHCP offer to 00:01:29:fb:c5:d1

Feb 16 23:02:03 DHCP SERVER: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:01:29:fb:c5:d1 via br0
[Code]....

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.

CentOS 5 Networking :: DGE-530T Will Not Get IP Address From DHCP Server

Aug 6, 2009

I am attempting to get this network card running under CentOS 5.2 but have had no luck. Some sites say to use the sk98lin driver, others the skge, which I can't find at all.

Here are the outputs for this card.

Ubuntu Networking :: Set A Static IP Address On A Server (to Be Used With Mythtv) And Is Running Mythbuntu 10.04

Aug 12, 2010

Am attempting to set a static IP address on a server (to be used with Mythtv) and is running mythbuntu 10.04 (apologies if this is the wrong place to post this). I can set a static IP address that is in the range of 192.168.1.x on other machines on the network but when I try with the server it is not able to connect to the network. When using the DHCP rather than manually assigning the address it is assigned an address with the 10.0.0.x range. Why is it doing this I have never have this problem on other ubuntu boxes (and this one prior to a format of the OS).

The router/gateway is 192.168.1.1 I did have a DHCP server on the mythbox before formatting it and I was able to assign a static 192.168 address and retain internet connectivity. But I have re-enabled the DHCP server on my router since formatting the box.

Fedora Networking :: No IP Address From DHCP Server On Wireless Network?

But i have a problem that, my wireless connection is not able to get IP address from the DHCP server. Please help me out what can i do to get this working. I am using WEP security and authentication is open system.

I have windows 7 beta installed on the same machine and on that wireless network works fine so i am sure that there is no problem with the wirless network. I am using DIR-300 router from D-LINK. I tried to see packet log on wireshark and there i see that there is no reply to the DHCP discover message. Actually i don't see any RX packets at all. Which is not normal as there is traffic on the network.

Networking :: Cable Modem - Losing Connection - Resolved By DHCP Request

Dec 12, 2010

Running 2.6.29-gentoo-r1 on a Sun Ultrasparc 10 with a Sun Happy Meal on eth0 connected directly to my cable modem. Intermittently, with a frequency between a few hours and a few days, I lose internet connectivity. Running ifconfig eth0 indicates all is well and I have a valid IP address but I cannot even ping the cable modem's management address; pings to 127.0.0.1 and eth0's IP address do get a reply but no other address I've tried does. I can 'fix' the problem by issuing

Code:

If I check the CM logs, it appears that it has rebooted itself prior to the loss of connectivity. The strange thing is that the incoming traffic doesn't seem to be affected by this, my PSAD log is full of incoming scans even during the periods when I can't connect to the net. I suspect this is an ISP problem (they own the CM);

Ubuntu Networking :: 10.04 Set To Static But Resets To DHCP?

May 21, 2010

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

Ubuntu Networking :: Moving From Dhcp To Static Ip

Jul 19, 2011

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.

Fedora Networking :: Networking And Static IP Adresses In Presence Of DHCP

Aug 22, 2010

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.
