Hi All. This problem is not strictly related to gentoo, however I'm sure someone here will be able to help me in some way: sorry if I bother you!
I'm having a really strange problem: for some reason, everytime I reboot my server, the default gateway gets attached to the 'lo' interface, even if I correctly attached it to the eth0 device. I fixed the problem editing the /etc/sysconfig/network file and adding GATEWAY=195.75.145.1 GATEWAYDEV=eth0 however I'm not sure this is the solution: I already configured the default gateway only in the ifcfg-eth0 file! After this, I have an even worse problem: doing an ssh 195.75.145.1, I get an answer from my own server like if it was a loopback address ! Here is the output of ifconfig: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 5C:F3:FC:55:63:42 inet addr:195.75.145.122 Bcast:195.75.145.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4281 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:25 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:4934949 (4.7 MiB) TX bytes:2133 (2.0 KiB) Interrupt:28 Memory:92000000-92012800 eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1B:21:8E:0A:86 inet addr:192.168.19.95 Bcast:192.168.19.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2049 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:917 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:236160 (230.6 KiB) TX bytes:99635 (97.2 KiB) Memory:97d80000-97e00000 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:56 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:56 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:7714 (7.5 KiB) TX bytes:7714 (7.5 KiB) lo:0 Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:195.75.145.120 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 here is the output of ip route 192.168.19.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.19.95 195.75.145.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 195.75.145.122 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link metric 1002 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth2 scope link metric 1004 default via 195.75.145.1 dev eth0 Please!! Do you have any advice? Thanks, Massimiliano
