Im running ubuntu server 10.10 on my wirtual mashine at home. For now i have few service installed and configured:apache with phpand mysql support,ftp,phpmyadmin.. My ip address is not static, i tryed to configure by following some guide but without success.
First i edit this in /etc/network/interfaces (changing dhcp to static
Code:
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
[Code].....
I have followed some instructions to change to a static ip address and have now lost my connection to my router. The mistake I made was not copying the original "interfaces" file before making changes.The file originally had: auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet (something - I thought it was loopback but didn't work when I added it).
The instruction told me to put:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
Which I did, using my own ip numbers, except for "broadcast". I didn't add that in because I didn't have a clue what to put there. When it didn't work, I tried putting it back to what I originally had except I can't rememebr that last bit. I added dhcp instead of what I thought it was but this didn't work either.
Does anyone know an easy way to do this? I can't seem to figure it out.

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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was trying to assign the static IP address of my internet connection to my home server and managed to make a mess of it. I've configured the router to assign it the address every time but when I rebooted everything the server is cut off from the network completely (rather unfortunate with a headless server...). The only file I've edited on the server when trying to do this is /etc/network/interfaces, everything else network related is default. My intention in editing the file was to make the server accept the IP address assigned by the router since the router was already configured to assign the right one. I put in
Code: inet dhcp in the /etc/network/interfaces file, is that wrong? What is that line supposed to be?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to configure a VPN over the Internet.I installed the 'openvpn' package, generated the key file, transfered it by a secure way to the client, and setted up the configuration file.
So, in that configuration file I input the IP addresses of the tunneled interfaces. Both IPs are static in the tunnel.
Then, I've heard somewhere that I can assign a dynamic configuration IP for the client. I do this registering a range.
Well, when I tried to change static IP to dynamic IP (changing '192.168.0.2' to '192.168.0.0/24') in the configuration file, the OpenVPN didn't work.
Obviously I don't know what I'm doing, and I really, don't believe that simply changing the IP will make it work, but I tried.
I hope I explained my problem as well.
My configuration file:
# OpenVPN Server Configuration File
dev tun 0
ifconfig 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2
cd /etc/openvpn
secret key_file
In client I execute the 'openvpn' without the '--daemon' parameter.Then I want that my client uses a IP in a range (192.168.0.0/24, for example), instead of a static IP (192.168.0.2).I also thought to use a DHCP server, but I'm not sure that will work.
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've been attempting to figure this out for about 4 days straight, so far it has not been fruitful. I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 server onto my former gaming system, Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz, 2 cores with 2 GB ram. Overkill I'm sure, especially for a simple personal voip, htpc, storage server.
The problem is only noticeable when I have the vent server running, on the 10.04 server, and I attempt to connect to it through the LAN via the client on my windows computerEverything works fine and connects, LAN and from the outside, as long as the server is set to DHCP. However when attempting to switch to a static IP address, the vent client will not detect the vent server at all.Aside from an annoyance at having to stick with DHCP, I am still curious as to why the static settings will not function. Something so simple has turned into something quite difficult.
I can still connect to the Webmin interface and Putty into server with either DHCP or static IP enabled.I've performed the following troubleshooting steps so far:1) Followed the directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverg...iguration.html2) Edited the /etc/network/interfaces file through the CLI with nano and through notepad on the windows computer3) Through Webmin I've assigned the static IP, although for some reason it does not include a gateway field.4) I've rebooted the server5) I've issued the CLI
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

I am trying to set up a static ip address. I am using the visual interface. The problem may be that I don't know what they mean by "DNS servers" the linksys says it is 0.0.0.0 but entering that doesn't help. It says "connected" on the "notification area" icon, but I have no internet. I have rebooted the computer and the router.I deleted Auto eth0 and when I added a new connection it is now "Wired connection 1". If I change it to "automatic DHCP" instead of manual, it works fine.What am I missing, I have easily been able to set static IPs on WinXP machines, I would think Ubuntu would be easier.

I want to see if there is a guide on how to configure a static IP address on karmic?
I have found the following how to on port forward (my router WNDR3300 for utorrent) [URL]..but this pertains to using windows and not linux. I am also a linux noobie.
Recently, I've set up Ubuntu Server 9.10 x86_64 (no GUI). I have two NIC cards in this machine. One is a wireless card that I would like to set a static IP address to. The other is an integrated NIC. Everything works just fine when I have everything set up under DHCP. I can ping both NIC cards with no issues. But as soon as I change over to a static setting, things work unexpectedly...
Things to keep in mind:
-All machines are running under the same subnet
-All machines are connected to a wireless router (freshly flashed with the latest firmware)
-This is a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 9.10 x86_64
--Static IP address on the WIRED (eth0) NIC works great. No issues. Can ping from my wireless laptop, and can ping from the machine to the outside world (ping google.com) as well as the gateway itself with excellent response times.
If I then turn on the WIRESLESS (wlan0) NIC after setting up a static address for it in /etc/network/interfaces, then turning the wlan0 on by issuing "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up", wlan0 shows up, but does not have an IP address associated with it, even though I set it up as static. I also cannot ping wlan0 from my laptop. I assumed that was because I needed to restart the networking service. So after issuing "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart", I am able to ping wlan0 from my laptop with no issues.
Here is where things get strange. Lets say that I physically pull the plug on eth0. After dong this, wlan0 stops responding to the ping request that was initiated by my laptop at the same exact time. If I plug the cable back in, both eth0 and wlan0 begin to respond once again. But soon after I try to SSH to wlan0, wlan0 decides that it no longer wants to respond to the ping. I should note that it does ask me for a username and a password, but after I entered my password, the ping stops responding. Why should the wlan0 be affected in any way if something happens to eth0?
This all started when I set the server up with only a static configuration on wlan0. It appeared to be working well. I was able to ping the machine from my laptop as well as SSH into the machine. I went to bed and the next morning, I was no longer able to ping the machine. I let the ping run for a small amount of time with a few responses here and there. Then after a little more time of letting ping run, it tends to respond. Almost like I bothered it enough to decide that it was appropriate to start working again.
Ideally, I would like to have ONLY a wireless connection. But if I need to have eth0 up, it would be great to have option work as well. Bottom line is that my wireless is flukey. And I would like to find out why.

I cannot get a static IP to work on Fedora 11. Using Network Manager, I set the IP to 192.168.1.130, the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and the gateway to 192.168.1.0 but it doesn't work. I also tried 192.168.1.1 for the gateway, which is what I used in FC7 but still no luck. I verified that these are the settings that I used in FC7, I don't remember ever having a problem before with this.I do remember someone telling me not to use Network Manager in conjunction with Network Configuration... does that make sense? That was for FC9 on my laptop and it was for the wireless so perhaps that doesn't apply here. I did try unchecking the box for Network Manager and using strictly Network Configuration but it still didn't work.

My new line provider/ISP won't give me a static IP address - it's DHCP or nothing. Is there some trick I can use to allow myself to host a web page? I was thinking of getting a static address elsewhere, like at my sometime place of employment, and redirecting, but it just moves the problem downstream.Realistically, assume I leave my computer on and hardly ever reboot (CentOS is pretty stable), then will I typically keepthe same address for weeks or months at a time? If so, I could live with logging in to my registrar a few times a year to change the address, as bizarre as that would be
