[SOLVED] how to setting a static ip address on slackware64 13

wubai · 04-30-2010, 05:19 AM

Hi,all !

I tried to setting a static ip from dhcp, I changed lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf as follow:

# Config information for eth0:

#IPADDR[0]=""
IPADDR[0]="192.168.18.7"
#NETMASK[0]=""
NETMASK[0]="255.255.255.0"
#USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
USE_DHCP[0]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""

and then I run "/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart"

after that, can't access net, and couldn't ping the gateway[192.168.18.1], I have to change it back, anybody can help me ?

It sounds to me like your default route is not getting set correctly. Did you set the gateway in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf?

GATEWAY="192.168.18.1"

What error--if any--do you get from ping?

What output to you get from the command route?

Regards,
Stu...

Yo can use in root mode #netconfig

..or configure with ifconfig

Code:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.X.X netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.X.X eth0  # gateway, router ip

@ROXR ,I follwed above , and it works !

btw, I checked rc.inet1 nad rc.inet1.conf, nothing changed, then which file does "ifconfig..." write into ?

thanks again , all of you !

It doesn't. The fix you have done is temporary and you should do this:

Quote:

to make it permanent. That is run this from your command line :

Code:

su -c "netconfig"

and enter the necessary information. This will update rc.inet1.conf.
