[SOLVED] Antix static IP DNS configuration not works, no address resolution

Hi, me again.

I have the problem with my Antix-Linux that I can't set a static IP configuration on my hotplug-able NIC (ASIX ax88772). "I can't" means, domain name resolution would fail.

Connman manages the networks. I've already disabled it for eth0 - or let's say I tried it, no idea if it worked. I added the line NetworkInterfaceBlacklist=eth0 in /etc/connman/main.conf.

I also tried to enter a DNS in the file /etc/resolv.conf, but after a reboot this file is overwritten with a symlink to /run/connman/resolv.conf

I have made the following configuration in the file /etc/network/interfaces:

Code:

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.2.112
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.2.1
    dns-nameservers 9.9.9.9

This worked - to the extent that I was able to ping IPs. However, name resolution also failed here. Ping returns: unknown host.

Something else that may be relevant: When I try to configure eth0 with ceni, it doesn't work either. Sometimes it hangs on the try to "up" eth0:
ip link set dev eth0 up
(The "up" is preceded by three spaces)
When it hangs, the entire system hangs. Means, I can then no longer end the session. Unless I press and hold the power-button.

Generally, how is it intended in Antix to specify own DNS servers?

All I could do is search for you.

I have always assumed that connman can primarily manage WLAN networks. I didn't realize that connman can also make IP settings. I thought the "Details" tab was purely informative.

If I make the settings with connman instead of ceni, it works straight away. I just hadn't found the option.

I was confused because I thought that ceni would take over at this point, because ceni is opened by the Control Center when I want to configure the network interfaces.
