I change the interfaces file to activate the DHCP service for my eth0.
How do I make the service active without booting the system. In other word, how do I run the modified interfaces file?
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

I have 3 Interfaces for a different LAN's and when I start one interface the another interfaces goes down.How can it's possible?I configure my ethernets as:
Code:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 172.16.3.108 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 172.0.255.255
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 172.16.3.109 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 172.0.255.255
/sbin/ifconfig eth2 172.16.3.1110 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 172.0.255.255
I work now with Centos 5.4 and I would like configure my Ethernet, but I can't find the /etc/network/interfaces like in CentOS 5.2.
[root@headnode1 etc]# uname -rmi
2.6.18-164.10.1.el5 i686 i386
[root@headnode1 etc]#
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 ?
DSL modem is a Speedstream 6520 router. All computers work fine via dhcp. I'm trying to setup a small server (print server, ssh & ftp servers). I understand enough of the software part of things to get it going, my problem is setting a static IP on the server box. Every time I set the IP in the /etc/network/interfaces file and reboot, I have no network connection. I can talk to the modem through the browser, but nothing beyond that, not even local computers.
/etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.254.202
network 192.168.254.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.254.254
ifconfig shows the .202 address, but box can't get to the outside world, and can't ssh into the box from a computer sitting next to it. If I let it dhcp, then I can ssh into it, and have access to the internet. In the modem, I have dmz set for that address. Wan address is static. I can ssh into it if I let it do dhcp, so I know it can work that far. But if I set static ip, I might as well pull the network cable. I've been beating my head on this for over a week, and I'm lost why I can't get it to work. I even changed the dhcp range on the modem, so the .202 is not in that range. There is no dhcp client installed that I can find. I'm using WattOS beta3, which is a light distro based on 9.04. The computer is an old Dell GX150, integrated nic. I have done ifdown and ifup eth0, still no happiness. Doesn't seem like it should be that hard, but I'm stumped. DMZ should let everything pass, so don't need to mess with port forwarding and such. I know it works using dhcp.
For my router I need to change Ubuntu server from DHCP to static IP. So to do this I entered: Code: sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces ...and pushed the wrong buttons and exited the session suddenly by mistake. After learning how to use the vi editor I went back but I got a notice that the the last session didn't close properly and that a "swap" file had been created. Anyway, I entered my static IP info, saved the file, and attempted to restart with:
Code: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart Restart failed and I got a notice that I should delete the /etc/network/interfaces.swp file so I did. Tried to restart again and, didn't get the .swp file conflict message this time, but failed again - this time I got the following message:

which file can setup up my network interfaces? i was able to setup the nameserver using /etc/resolv.conf but I cannot find anywhere to configure the ip and and gateway. I could't find /etc/network/interfaces as you do on Debian

sorry if it doesn't.
I have to get soem statistic about interfaces from /proc/net/dev. but statistic on this file is reset when get reach more than 4G byte.I think linux has limitation on this case.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I become root outside of the terminal? I want to be able to manipulate the file system (i.e. move files, delete files, rename files) in the file viewer GUI (not sure what it's called; I'd say "Windows Explorer" if I were talking about Windows).
Also, how can I manipulate (move, delete, copy, rename) files inside the terminal?
I do understand how to move around (change the working directory) in the terminal, and how to become root in the terminal, and naturally I understand how to move, copy, blah blah blah. I know the basic basics (just letting you know, I'm not the type of person who knows less about computers than a rock does).
Whether we could hide the presence of a file by modifying the gid/uid?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to convert from using the base centos kernel to centosplus kernel. I have modified the CentoOS-Base.repo file to do this, including ensuring that I have excluded the kernel kernel-devel etc from base and updates. However when I do a yum update there is nothing to update. I have noted that my current kernel is kernel-2.6.18-194.8.1 whereas the current centosplus kernel seems to be 2.6.18-194.3.1. I presume that the problem is that the plus kernel is not as recent as the base kernel. Is this correct? What is the best way of converting to the centosplus kernel in these circumstances?

One of them is to modify /etc/hosts to add the local IP addresses to a computer name.Can this be done via the Ubuntu networking somehow ? It would be nice not to have to change some of these config files.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am writing a program which modifies source IP address of packet before writing this packet to tap interface. I face only one problem with tcp checksum. I have current checksum, to get new checksum, I add new source IP address and add one complement of old source IP address. That is, I update checksum with difference of old and new source IP address. It sounds not bad but does not work.

View 3 Replies View Relatedwhat I have: Belkin G Wireless Router Model F5D7234-4. To attempt to get Subsonic working, I changed the port forwarding settings (Belkin calls it Virtual Servers) to forward port 4040 to my desktop computer. I then saved changes, and my wireless disconnected. I waited about 3 minutes, and nothing was happening, so I restarted my router. This left me in the position that I am in now. Even when the router and modem are fully booted, the router does not broadcast my SSID. In addition, a wired connection will not connect to the network through the router. This leaves me completely unable to use wireless, and unable to change any settings in the router.

I recently switched from Ubuntu server to Debian server, and I carried over many of the same configurations. This is pretty much a fresh install.
I cannot get the default gateway to stick by using the /etc/network/interfaces. I can ping my default gateway but nothing beyond it either by name or IP. code...
I would like the default gateway to stick between reboots. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Do you have to define a Gateway in the interfaces file?

I'm testing some network setups, and bought two dirt-cheap USB network interfaces. My plan was to attach these two to an embedded device (sheevaplug) and mess with firewall setups. However, the two interfaces are absolutely identical; they have the same MAC, and lsusb -v is the same for both, line by line (except for device number, which tells the order the devices are plugged in, I believe?). Also, this is a single usb bus (single port, with a hub).
Now, obviously I can't make much of a firewall setup if I can't tell the interfaces apart. I realize I probably hit a brick wall, but does anyone have thoughts on this?
I have two interfaces, gprs0 and gprs1, both connected to the Internet from the same HW device, but through two different access points I just read another blog entry with a guy who had two network cards, using one as a back up - I guess this is a little similar, but should be much easier I am guessing - I am just lost Using ifconfig (IP address given by the network) and route to setup the connection,
ifconfig gprs0 10.20.30.40 up
route add default dev gprs0
ping 66.102.7.99 works fine

There is data being transmitted and received to device again, I guess the kernel just doesn't know where the incoming data should go without the correct routing tables? Or what exactly is going on?The question I have is how do I configure the device to do the correct routing, using only the ifconfig and route commands? Maybe too trivial for you guys, but I am getting tired of goofing around not knowing what is up and down anymore
I installed the latest release of Kubuntu on to my dell laptop about 3 days ago, I fell asleep last night and woke up to my laptop not being connected to my wireless(it was when I fell asleep, it didnt reboot or anything overnight an dno one touched it), so I plugged in an ethernet cable and it still did not detect an internet connection, then finally it connected through my phones mobile internet via Usb.
However none of the built in networking devices are working, I have them all enabled.My WLAN Interface says "Unmanaged" and Networking interface complains the cable is unplugged even when it is not.I know you guys will need some additional info from me to help me.I just used my mobile broadband to install Wicd network manager but thats just a temporary fix, as it doesnt fix my ethernet issue and I want to be able to use the network manager itself to manage my networks.
i recently started sockets programming. In the process i began to look for relevant network information about my computer and realized that ifconfig wasn't displaying the same information that resides in my /etc/network/interfaces file. On the interfaces file my IP address is 192.168.1.109 for interface eth0 but ifconfig displays 192.168.1.101. I was under the impression that ifconfig got its information from the interfaces file but clearly doesn't. I tried re configuring the device with ifconfig and then disabling and re enabling the device with ifdown and ifup so that the device updated its information but it didn't.

I'm using Debian Squeeze with backports turned on and I've installed connman and it cannot see my wireless networking interface. I know my wireless card has a working driver because I have WICD on the same system and it connects just fine.I am using the Enlightenment desktop though and it only integrates with the connman wireless manager - so I would prefer to use this instead of WICD. Anyone have any ideas on how I can get connman working? What extra configuration needs to be done after installing?
I added my user to have the same permissions as root to the /etc/dbus-1/system.d/connman.conf file and I added my tiwlan0 to /etc/network/interfaces as a DHCP connection with no changes in functionality :-/. Been searching around online and reading man pages for the last couple days with no good results. Any input would be awesome!
What is the use of creating sub interfaces, for example eth0.1 etc. can someone please give an example of a situation where it would be useful
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop "fura1" with two interfaces, eth0 (Ethernet) and eth1 (wifi), which I assign IPs 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.11 respectively. Then a desktop "fura2" with only one interface eth0 (Ethernet). Both are connected to a local network along with other appliances. My doubts arise on how to configure the /etc/hosts file of the desktop "fura2" taking in account that "fura1" has two interfaces, so two IP, but, obviously, only one hostname.
My first attempt for /etc/hosts of "fura2" was:
127.0.0.1localhost
127.0.1.1fura2
192.168.1.10 fura1 fura1.workgroup
192.168.1.11 fura1 fura1.workgroup
192.168.1.102 PDA PDA.workgroup
192.168.1.103 MT MT.workgroup
But it seems to my that assigning two different IPs to the same host is not a good solution. On the other hand, if I give different name to each interface, I will got a host with two hostname (?).
