eth0 static config for Sarge net install
Hi
I am trying to install Sarge, but the caveat is that I am in a network requiring static IP, so the DHCP net install is useless unless I can get my eth0 interface working. Even a CD install will probably leave me with same issues in the end so I ask now. Problem: I am getting a SIOCADDRT: network is unreachable although eth0 is configured and up. Here is the status of my system: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:8D:4C:37:18 inet addr:172.16.77.26 Bcast:172.16.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:46779 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2883279 (2.7 MiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x2000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.

Anyone have an analysis of what may be wrong?? thanks Peff |
Found the problem--wrong netmask given my the admin.
