Hi Arup, 2008/10/20 Arup Raychaudhury <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I want to access the INTERNET using live CD. How do I define static IP > permanently?
There are two ways of getting static IPs. (1.) You create a DHCP lease based on the MAC Address of the machine which will run the live CD. So that every time you boot the machine the DHCP server will allocate the same IP address to the machine. But you will have to always use the same machine (Actually technically speaking its the NIC which has the MAC address). (2.) You can manually assign the ip address every time the live-cd is booted. For that you should open up the terminal window of the machine after the live CD is loaded and type the following command as to assign the static-ip to your machine. The following commands assume that the static ip for your machine is 192.168.1.5, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and the default gateway is 192.168.1.1. Please feel free to change these as per your requirement. Also I am assuming that you are not using wireless network and that your default ethernet interface which is physically connected to the network is eth0. ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0 up route add default gw 192.168.1.1 Typically any configuration done on live CDs is lost when you switch off the machine. You can use DSL (Dammn Small Linux) with persistent configuration saved on a USB drive.
