Recently our sys administrator decided to go to static IPs from the earlier assigned dynamic ones. This has created some havoc in my open suse 11 and I do not have access to network. I tried using the YAST network configuration manager, after everything is done it shows 'network wired' but unable to ping.

I manually have tochoose my own profile for the Ethernet card every time. How can I make it default??I know the workaround would be to use ifup but then I lose the ability to quickly change access points for my WiFi card so that's not a solution for me
View 9 Replies View RelatedNew SUSE 11.3 install connects to network/internet etc OK with DHCP-assigned IP address. When I switch to static IP, I can no longer ping internal network, or anything else. This works OK with SUSE 11.2 on same hardware and (as far as I can see) same setup. Some diagnostics are shown below.

Disabling the firewall makes no difference.
Not using a network manager (can't see how to assign fixed address if I do - all greyed out).
ifup eth0:

How do I figure out what to enter into the fields when I set a static ip in KDE? Other network managers give you suggestions but knetwk does not.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe're trying to replicate something that Windows servers can do. Basically on a Windows box, you can give it a static IP address, but there is an option to have it update the DNS server with it's IP and hostname. We are trying to do this on SUSE 11.I know I can get this function to work on SUSE if the box is set up as with DHCP. What we're having difficulty is when the server is set up as a Static IP to get it to update the DNS server
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have virtual box installed which automatically installed bridges for my network adapters. This has always worked fine. I'm attempting to set up a static IP for this machine now. I use NetworkManager, and the physical connection (eth0) is set to static IP of 0.0.0.0, and the bridge (br0) attached to eth0 was set to DHCP. I changed br0 to my desired static IP and lost net connectivity (I'm talking about the host, not the virtual machine - I'll get the host working first). Re-enabling DHCP restores connectivity. So I don't know what the problem is, but I am unable to assign a static IP to the bridged connection. Do I have to do this differently? Do I need to remove the bridge so I am using just eth0 again, assign the static IP to eth0, and then re-install the bridge? I haven't tried that yet because a) I don't know how to remove & reinstall the bridge, because it was done automatically by Virtual Box installation, and b) I could probably do that if I had the time figure it out but right now I don't.
I set up a static IP on wlan0 on another machine using Network Manager and it works fine. That machine also has Virtual Box installed but for some reason doesn't have the bridged connections. (Perhaps because it runs Ubuntu, not OpenSUSE, if that makes any difference)
how I can define a local static IP address (so that I can run a web server off of the same IP, rather than letting my router DHCP it)?I've tried doing the YaST->Network Devices->Network Settings->Traditional Method with ifup->Set NIC to desired IP->Set Default Gateway to router address method, and afterwards I can't even get into my router anymore (not even responding to ping).
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm maintaining a very modest network at home, with OpenSUSE as OS on the server. I got the DHCP and routing working by following the instructions in the wiki. However, every time I run dhclient on the server/router, it appears my own DHCP server assigns an address to the internal network card despite the fact I specifically assigned it to be static using Yast. The situation resolves itself when I restart the network services with the command /etc/init.d/network restart. Otherwise no problem, but it also seems the internal network card gets a "new" IP from my server every time the external card requests one from the ISP. This is more of an issue.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI think that i lost my memory, because i completely forgot how to accomplish this.
I have a WEB/MAIL server configured to work on a static IP address, lets say 200.11.22.33.
Now I wanna point a domain to that server to get the services up and running, lets say mydom.com ...
The static IP Address is assigned by my Internet Provider.
I'm lost in the part of connecting the domain with the server.
I have the domain DNS pointing to the ISP name servers, but I don't remember if this is the correct way, or if I have to setup my own DNS server.
I have a problem with tightvnc, when I set up a dinamic ip with networkmanager it works fine but if I set up a static address connection it display an error "You have been unexpectedly disconnected from 'hometsa-comp'. Would you like to reconnect?"
"Couldn't convert 'hometsa-comp' to host address" I have setup the ip address, netmask, gateway and dns server in the network manager static address, it works when I setup the vnc connection using ip address instead of hostnames.
How do I assign IPv4 and IPv6 static addresses permanently in OpenSUSE 11.2? Currently I am only able to assign either IPv4 or IPv6 static address not both. I cannot find even the interfaces file(/etc/sysconfig/network/interfaces).

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn 8.04 I can use the network manager app to set a static IP.
In 8.1 the network manager doesn't seem to work. I tried many different permutations of settings and got nowhere. Even though I put in IP subnet and gateway it still does the DHCP config.
So I added lines to my /etc/networking/interfaces file like this:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
I then either reboot or do this: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
This made the network manager icon in the top panel vanish. An ifconfig showed that those settings are in place but DNS doesn't seem to be working. I can ping other hosts on my network by IP but not www.yahoo.com etc.
I even read the man, that's how desperate I got! (a config like the above seems to work on my 8.04 machine except that the auto eth0 appears at the end of the file.)
I didn't see how to set the DNS server(s), unless I was in the wrong man.
I am trying to secure my LAN a little by doing static arp entries. But I am not sure how to go about doing this... I have a gateway, and I have a seperate box that runs dhcpd. I would like to assign every machine an ip and only allow it to use that ip, therefore static dhcp entries, and static arp entries on the gateway.
1. But how do I prevent someone from picking an ip that nobody is using and assigning it manually?
2. I assigned a static arp entry by doing arp -i br0 -s 2.2.2.35 00:1F:E1:CC:2E:46, how do I remove it now? I used arp -d but now it just says:
? (2.2.2.84) at <incomplete> on br0
3. I would also like each machine to have a hostname/dns.. like machinex.local, where I can do forward and reverse dns lookups, how do I config this?
4. I know static arp can be fooled if someone just clones an allow mac.. is there anything else that I could use that is more secure for wired lan?
5. I have my gateway running rflow sending all data to ntop running on my dhcp box.. Ntop is kinda cryptic, is there anything easier to use? or something that is better in features? I would like to see how much bandwidth each local ip is using and possibly what protocols, like ntop already shows.
I have a fresh install of Centos 5.x and I'm having issues on setting up the network...i know i have to edit/etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0 and create an ifcfg-eth0:0 right?im just having issues getting everything setup correctly.my network setup:Router IP: 192.168.2.1IPs on network: 192.168.2.xNetmask: 255.255.255.0

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have four PC's in a home network setup, no server just peer to peer using ssh. I have tended to use wicd to set static IP addresses because Network Manager didn't always perform as I thought it should. Now that I have installed 10.04 I cannot see how to set static addresses using Network Manager so I installed wicd, and disabled Network Manager. After setting the address with wicd it shows that the computer is connected to the internet however I cannot get internet access, though I can network with my other computers. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a few times just to check that I haven't been careless but the results are still the same.

I'm having strange difficulties in setting a static ip for my CentOS 5.4 installation. If I use DHCP everything is fine, but with a static ip I have no network connectivity. I have done this many times with RedHat/Fedora/Ubuntu etc. with no problems and now I have no idea what I'm missing or doing wrong. I have tried to set ip as 192.168.1.20 (anything below .100 will do). GW is 192.168.1.1 and NM is 255.255.255.0. This is all I have had to use with other distros, but now when I set these I cannot even access my routers admin page or ping it (192.168.1.1). (I just did this with Vista on my other machine and all worked fine).

View 5 Replies View RelatedI need static networking to be functional on F14 to try freeipa....the problem I have is I am unable to get eth0 to start. Knowing the software it has to be eth0 or it will likely not work... The guest is in a RHEV6svr environment... So I have disabled NetworkManager and enabled networ and set manula settings in ifcfg-eth0 incl the hware address but eth0 wont start on boot....
next I tried setting a e1000 network card after the hypervisor default didnt work, only to find that this doesnt work either. The MAC addresses are changing as I try and fault find a dead DNS client issue (yet another F14 issue but lets not go there yet, it could be RHEV's "funky" NATing setup)....so I suspect F14 has got its knickers in a twist over the MAC for ETH0....I keep changing it and I suspect it cant keep up.....so I need to disable the automatic function(s), if there is one....
So somewhere down in the code there is probably a line saying eth0= <mac address> but despite greping I cant find that.....or not something that I edit and it then works.... I have tried the gui tools and command line tools and I still have no network..... So what would be a totally CLI process to fix this automated crap? ie stop F14 pointing at the wrong MAC for eth0?

I want my Ubuntu desktop to have a static ip-address, i have altered the interfaces file to the below and also filled the info regarding my wireless network card but still every time I reboot the desktop gets the ip 10.42.43.1, HOW is that possible???
I use a apple time capsule router, I want my desktop to run a apache server thats why I need the static ip. I also want the static ip to be set on the wireless network interface. I have an old laptop with an internal Intel pro 2200 card so there should not be a driver problem.
This i my interfaces config code...
To be on the sure side to get this to work I have configured my router(DHCP) to give my wireless-HWaddress the ip of 10.0.1.15, STILL the ubuntu desktop starts with the false address above.
