Hello, A question for networking gurus: My ip address keeps on being set to null at my workplace.
I use my laptop at home and work. At home, I use DHCP to get an ip address from my ISP. No problems. At work, when I use #dhclient eth0 it looks for DHCP leases but finds none. So, I have a little script which I use to set a static address (I have been given one to use): ifconfig eth0 XXX.YYY.ZZZ.WWW netmask 255.255.255.0 up route add default gw XXX.YYY.ZZZ.1 echo "nameserver XXX.YYY.AAA.BBB" >> /etc/resolv.conf I run this script, but after approx 20 seconds the connection is gone and when I run # ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:15:ZZ:AA:BB:CC inet6 addr: fe71::205:c5ff:fecc:9284/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5729 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9435 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:4332002 (4.1 MiB) TX bytes:1830420 (1.7 MiB) Interrupt:18 Some daemon is resetting the NIC address to null. I tried editing /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/init.d/networking restart. I also ensured that my wireless was turn off. What could be causing this?
