[SOLVED] Static IP

nova49 · 01-10-2011, 03:42 PM

I am trying to get a Slackware server up and running. I got a static IP working kinda. The computer gets a response when I ping the router but not the internet. Basically it can communicate with other computers on the network but nothing outside of the network. Its not a problem with the router because I have a couple other computer with static IPs. Also the network card works fine as it can get on the internet fine normally.

ifconfig results:

Code:

          inet addr:192.168.1.100  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

What is the output of

Code:

route -n

?

<edit>

Also, how did you configure this ethernet port? Did you go through netconfig, edit rc.inet1.conf, or through ifconfig directly?

I used netconfig.

route -n

Code:

Kernel IP routing table

I'm assuming that 192.168.1.1 is the address of the router and, based on what you said, that you can ping it from the Slackware machine. Have you tried pinging a machine on the internet by IP address? If you can, but 'ping google.com' doesn't work, it may be a DNS issue. If it doesn't work, what is the error you're getting, if any?

Do you have any iptables rules set up?

nova49 · 01-10-2011, 04:06 PM

I can ping other computers on the network and the router but not other websites.

Code:

ping: unknown host google.com

EDIT
no I have not set up ip tables. Is this something I need to look into? I never needed to set them up prior to Slackware so I'm not familiar with them.

So this is just a dns issue? No servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf?

nova49 · 01-10-2011, 04:27 PM

Yeah nothing is listed. Any suggestions on how to fix my little DNS issue?

acid_kewpie · 01-10-2011, 04:31 PM

erm... add one...

markush · 01-10-2011, 04:39 PM

You'll have to configure /etc/dhcpcd.conf with "nohook resolv.conf". This prevents dhcpcd from overwriting the /etc/resolv.conf file.

Don't forget to insert a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf
