Ubuntu Networking :: Set The IP In The /etc/network/interfaces File And Reboot?

Jan 20, 2010

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.

Ubuntu Networking :: Adding Interfaces To /etc/network/interfaces?

Apr 16, 2010

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 ?

Ubuntu Servers :: After Initial Reboot - Network Interfaces Can't Be Found

Feb 10, 2011

Last night I created a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 10.10. I was working through a tutorial to set up a development server for home use, and everything worked perfectly. I was able to install OpenSSH, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (and Vim) with no problems. I was also able to use "ifconfig" to determine the network address of the server and I was able to view web pages on the server from another machine on my home network, using a browser. So, everything was "peachy". [By the way: The server is connected to the router using a CAT5 cable. This is a WIRED connection] I shut the Ubuntu server down at the end of the night and, now that I have rebooted this morning, I have apparently lost the network interface. I cannot ping anything from the server. If I run ifconfig, only the "lo" configuration is listed, with the 127.0.0.1 address.

Networking :: Ethernet Interfaces - Device Activated On Reboot

Dec 28, 2010

The ethernet configuration files are under
"/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts" such as "ifcfg-eth0:1" etc.

The file looks as follow:
Code:
DEVICE="eth0:1"
BOOTPROTO="static"
ONBOOT=no
IPADDR="172.23.17.10"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
ALIAS="yes"

I've set the ONBOOT=no. This means this device should not be activated at boot-time. But as I reboot the machine, this device is activated again. This means the option ONBOOT doesn't work. Seems this is a bug of RedHat LINUX?

eth0 comes up just fine. wlan0 comes up, but it's unable to acquire a DHCP address. I added the following lines to /etc/rc.local, and wlan0 comes up all the way, but I'm not too crazy about this hack.

Ubuntu Networking :: Set Up Two Network Interfaces In Laptop

Jan 16, 2010

I am currently trying to set up two network interfaces in my laptop. The wireless connection wlan0 works fine and it's the one that I use to connect the internet. It's in the range of 192.168.0.x/24 (gateway: 192.168.0.1). The wired interface eth0 is connect to another router (gateway: 10.0.0.13 with IPs in the range of 10.0.0.x/24. The router is set up to work as an AP and the 10.0.0.x network will only be used to control a robot, so no internet access will be required in this network. The problem is that when I have both connections up, I can't access the Internet anymore. I can still ping both routers, I can enter both routers configuration pages but I can't connect to the Internet. If I unplug the network cable, Internet gets accessible again.

I'm still a novice in linux and I can't figure out how to fix this. I don't want to get into static ip for the wireless connection since I'm constantly using the laptop in different places. The objective is to use the 10.0.0.x router to have a development platform for the robot that can be used anywhere without having to reconfigure the robot for a new network, which is a real pain.

In detail, the laptop connects via wireless to the network with intenet (192.168.0.x) and also connects via cable to another wireless router(10.0.0.x). The wireless connection of the second router is used to connect to the robot. Since I can ping both routers when they're both connected, I think it may be something related to the ip routes. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with kernel 2.6.31-17-generic

Ubuntu Networking :: Fixing Network Interfaces

May 27, 2011

I accidentally killed the dhclient processes. I am unable to access the Internet wirelessly or with Ethernet. It's a little irritating because now I have to post this using my phone. I'm looking for a way to reformat the network files to how they looked when I first installed ubuntu. I don't know quite what these are, or really anything about it.

The /etc/network/interfaces file has the following information:

I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be more.

iwconfig typed into the terminal gives me this:

According to lshw, the logical name for my Ethernet interface is eth1. I think it used to be eth0. It's an 88E8055 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller.

The wireless interface has logical name wlan1. I think this used to be wlan0. It's a PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection. The driver is iwl3945 - [phy0]

Ubuntu Networking :: /etc/network/interfaces Not Booting On Startup?

Sep 23, 2010

When I boot into Ubuntu with the Xfce desktop then proceed to terminal to check my IP it is always some random IP as provided via DHCP by the router. If I then go to the cmdline and type sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart then the wifi correctly connects to the router to the one static network address that I have specifically provided for it - as stated in my interfaces file. Why is this not happening on startup?

Ubuntu Networking :: Multiple Interfaces In Network Manager Have The Same Name

Apr 7, 2011

I have a problem where multiple interfaces in my network manager have the same name. This means that I am unable to have different settings for each interface. Here is my setup:

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
uname -a: Linux muon 2.6.32-30-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 21:30:21 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
Adapter 1: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 03)

Adapter 2: HTC Desire tethered via USB. When I start from scratch, with no remembered networks in the network manager, the Ethernet is shown as "Auto Ethernet". When I then connect the HTC Desire, the new network is shown in the network manager also as "Auto Ethernet". Previously, when I right clicked on the network manager and selected "Edit Connections", there were multiple "Auto Ethernet" entries under the wired tab.

Now (and I do not know what changed, sorry), I only see one entry. When I edit this entry (say, add a route), then the route is added for both network interfaces. This used to still work, so I was not worried about the name clash, but now it is causing problems so I need to have a different name for each network interface.

Ubuntu Networking :: ADVISEADDR: Error In Specifying Interfaces: No Existing Ip Interfaces Found

Jan 7, 2010

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:

Networking :: Filtering Traffic On Network Interfaces?

Feb 8, 2010

I am manually capturing and injecting Ethernet traffic (using lib_net/lib_pcap libraries) for an application. At the moment , both capturing and injecting are done on the same physical interface (e.g. eth0). The problem is that all the traffic that I inject, are captured again by my application causing an unwanted feedback of injected traffic. This caused that I had to implement traffic filtering when capturing traffic, which is consuming resources and eventually will become too complicated to support.

I have tried using virtual interfaces to separate the capturing and injecting streams, but that also presented the same problem as all the traffic from eth0 is forwarded to both eth0:1 and eth0:2. If possible I would like both streams to go through 1 physical device, using more PDs will be the last resort. I am also looking at using TUN/TAP devices to try and separate the two streams, maybe writing a user-space program that lies between the physical device and the TUN/TAP devices to do the routing of traffic.

Ubuntu Networking :: Multiple Network Interfaces (one Connected At A Time)?

Oct 15, 2010

configure a server with two network interfaces? This system is physically moved from one network to another every few days (different buildings but connected by a VPN). I'd like to be able to control the IP address of the system depending on which port I plug the network cable into with a static setting. Right now the system will connect to the local network, but any requests to go beyond the subnet get lost. The only way I can get the system to talk outside of its subnet is to comment out the second interface.

/etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0

Debian Configuration :: Ifconfig Wasn't Displaying The Same Information That Resides In /etc/network/interfaces File

Aug 14, 2011

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.

Fedora Networking :: Change Network Interfaces Names?

Dec 11, 2009

I found problem in FC 12 release. I installed fc 12 to server (earlier there was FC 7). Then as always i realised that names of interfaces (eth0, eth1, eth2 .... eth9) changed after install. eth0 became eth9, eth1 became eth5 ... Earlier on previous fedora releases i solved this problem correcting HWADDR in ifcfg-eth files, so i linked MAC addresses to names (eth0, eth1, eth2) as i wanted in a right order. Now I can't do this. After correcting these files and restarting network sevice i constantly get a message: device ... has different mac than expected. I looked ifup-eth file and compare it with the same one in fedora 7. And i found that in fedora 7 there is function rename_device which processes if HWADDR value doen't coincide with real mac address value. See code:

# remap, if the device is bound with a MAC address and not the right device num
# bail out, if the MAC does not fit
if [ -n "${HWADDR}" ]; then
FOUNDMACADDR=`get_hwaddr ${REALDEVICE}`
if [ "${FOUNDMACADDR}" != "${HWADDR}" ]; then
curdev=`get_device_by_hwaddr ${HWADDR}`
if [ -n "$curdev" ]; then
rename_device "${REALDEVICE}" "${HWADDR}" "${curdev}" || {
echo $"Device ${DEVICE} has different MAC address than expected, ignoring."
[Code].....

But in fc 12 release there is no function rename_device!!!!!!!!! So in this case if HWADDR value is not the same as FOUNDMACADDR value (which equal to REALDEVICE mac address) i just get an error message So I can't change interfaces names, as result i can't organize right order of network interfaces as it was earlier on fc7.

Networking :: Make A Network Interfaces Configuration Immutable?

Mar 24, 2011

Similar to the linux command "chattr +i filename", I would sure like to set my eth0 interface immutable. so once I assign the eth0 interface's IP and gateway, make it stay set until I say otherwise.

this way, I can run dhclient or Networkmanager on another interface without having to fret that it may alter this interface. is there something out there that can do this?
