<ig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0" [readonly] 9L, 171C 1,1 All

when i reboot the system the ip addess automatically get changed..!!

how to fix it??

Rinish · 04-14-2005, 04:34 AM

the configuration is perfect
only this i see here at a glance is that
it should be ONBOOT= not onBOOT
linux is highly case sencitive

Rinish · 04-14-2005, 04:50 AM

i waited for u long please let me know if this worked

scowles · 04-14-2005, 05:01 AM

I'm surprised this is working at all. Your netmask and broadcast address make no sense. try:

Code:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=10.255.240.111
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=10.255.240.0
BROADCAST=10.255.240.255
ONBOOT=yes
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no
WIRELESS_ENC_KEY=""

Just an FYI: I posted an uppcase ONBOOT in my reply. But for some reason, this forums software seems to change an uppcase ONBOOT to onBOOT when it starts at the beginning of a line.

bruse · 04-14-2005, 08:02 AM

no sir that is not working

when i restart the service it is in the same IP adress.

what could be done..!!

Rinish · 04-14-2005, 08:04 AM

what is the IP addres u get when u restart ?

bruse · 04-15-2005, 06:02 AM

the automatic IP address is 10.255.240.150.

i set as 10.255.240.101..

when i restart the computer 10.255.240.150

Rinish · 04-16-2005, 12:34 AM

How many eth ports do you have ?
Iam sure you might have confirmed that its not eth1

I think you will have to check the /etc/modules file too there you can specify an alias to a port, say, u can set a alias as eth0 for dling card which was actually supose to be eth 1

bruse · 04-16-2005, 01:32 AM

sir i am quite newbie to linux ..please help me more..

with this help me what to modify??

Rinish · 04-16-2005, 05:04 AM

which Distro are u using ?
iam surpriced to see a /etc/modules empty!!
if i was you and i have all rights to work on th machine, i ll

1) rm -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*
2) vi /etc/modules ==> here I will comment(#) all lines that describesanything abt eth
3 vi /etc/sysconfig/hwconf ==> here ill remove the entire set that says any NETWORK (there might be 2 set of NETWORK if you have 2 RJ45 port

4 at my propmpt [root@host root]# kudzu
this will prompt me for ipaddress here ill say whatever i want
5 root@hos root]# /etc/init.d/network restart

this will make my system network configuration perfect
and if still this exists then :-?

/ Rinish.P

bruse · 04-16-2005, 06:39 AM

i am using mandrake 10.0.

and i have no command like kudzu

and i do not have /etc/sysconfig/hqconf file

scowles · 04-16-2005, 08:10 AM

Based on the output of ifconfig in a previous post, it looks like your NIC module (probably 8139too) is loading correctly. BTW: I think the module file is /etc/modprobe.conf, not /etc/modules.

Since the IP address "appears" to be reassigned, then I would start checking:

1) if some init script is possibly starting dhcpcd/dhclient.
2) You have a /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth1 file that is refernecing DEVICE=eth0

Something along those lines.
