ip address
Hi, I just installed Debian Sarge, and by mistake I configured the NIC to DHCP. I don't want DHCP, how can I change the ip address from DHCP to a permanent static ip address? I tried already ifconfig eth0 ipaddress, it works, but the change is just temporary. When I reboot the computer, the NIC still picks up a DHCP address.

ip address
Hi, I just installed Debian Sarge, and by mistake I configured the NIC to DHCP. I don't want DHCP, how can I change the ip address from DHCP to a permanent static ip address? without reloading the OS? I tried already "ifconfig eth0 ipaddress", it works, but the change is just temporary. When I reboot the computer, the NIC still picks up a DHCP address. I proceed to make changes in the interfaces file the interfaces file is: # This file describes the network information available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5) # The loopback network interface # auto lo # Iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface # auto eth0 # Iface eth0 inet dhcp Iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.110 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 I also tried with a lowercase i in iface, the uppercase I in Iface was in the original interfaces file. After I made the changes I rebooted the computer, when the computer was up I logon on and type ifconfig, I don't get any information for the NIC. Then I proceed to use : ifconfig eth0 ipaddress , then I typed again ifocnfig, this time I got information for the NIC, but when I tried to ping yahoo.com I got unknown host. Please help.

Reconfigure IP address
To reconfigure my IP address from DHCP to a static address, I need to run dpkg-reconfigure netbase, right? If this is not correct, where can I get more info. I just get the feeling that I'm not supposed to edit /etc/network/interfaces.

Hi, How can I get my machine to automatically update a file with my current dynamic IP address?

If you know a little bit about the range of the network (i.e. if you know at least , it is 192.168.), then you might try to scan the IP with a direct connection to the network card. Try nmap (either from a separate computer with a crossover cable) on the computer itself. Syntax: >From an other computer nmap -sP 192.168.*.* Hope this helps. Good luck!

I find that a bizarre attitude. The point of having a user-settable PATH is to monkey with it on demand. If we didn't want that, it would be inherited from the system default and be immutable. Should users add /usr/sbin and /sbin to their PATHs when they find themselves in need of using those tools often? Sure. Is it common enough to make it the default for new users?

When an interface gets IPv6 addresses assigned by stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC) from router advertisements (RA), such addresses have limited lifetimes. The initial values are set from values contained in the RA. The valid lifetime is the length of time in seconds the address remains valid. Th preferred lifetime is the length of time in seconds the address remains preferred, i.e. used for new communications. Both lifetimes are refreshed when receiving a new RA. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Static ip address

Strange IP address...
Hello, I have recently installed the beta version of Debian on a Gateway that is connected on an intranet at work. (The installation was flawless by the way.) I have recompiled the kernel and added all the network support and apache as I will be running an intranet-based website with teaching files for radiology residents. It is actually pretty cool, we save the images in bitmap form and using MS Frontpage very quickly write teaching files. The doctors in the hospital can then view the images with netscape. Anyway, the intranet is a Window NT net and while goofing around I discovered that my machine has two IP addresses. One is the one assigned, 172.16.18.5 and the other is 127.0.0.1. I think I have gone through all the config files in /etc and I can't find out where this address is being sent out from. When I reboot with just the Windows for Workgroups the address disappears so I am assuming it is an artifact of one of the network items I installed on the Linux side. Can someone tell me which package has this generic address and where I can find it and kill it? Regards, Craig

Strange LAN IP Address.
I have my principle Debian Stretch platform on the LAN in our home. Two towers (both Linux platforms) and a HP Printer have wired connections, my Win 10 Laptop and two Android smartphones use WiFi connections. This morning when I When I tried using WinSCP on the Laptop to transfer a file from the principle Linux platform the connection attempt failed! When I ran ifconfig on the Linux platform it showed the unet connection to be 162.237.98.238!!? The LAN modem employs DCHP set with allowed IP range as 192.168.1.64 through 192.168.1.253, which was set by the T&T installer when we switched to a fiber optic network. Further examination of the modem settings showed IP Passthrough status as on (Public IP Address), which was, in fact the IP. I spent 40 minutes, on hold for 28 of those minutes, with an AT&T UVVerse technical () person without hearing any reasons why the IP was what it was. Note the tense at the end of the above sentence, because subsequent rebooting the modem restored the IP address to the correct DHCP range. I suppose the moral of this - first reboot the modem. The question that I have, however, is how did this happen in the first place? Or is the reason lost in the black hole of the Internet? Is this indicative of a hardware problem?

The parsing, whilst quite achievable, is slightly tricky, but I can manage the RE, so that's not my question. Is there any other way to obtain this data, maybe from /sys? Cheers, Tony.

Losing static ip address
Running Debian etch without problems for some time - in a simple setup connecting via a static local ip address (192.168.0.10) through a NAT DSL (Linksys) "router." Recently, though, and seemingly ad-hoc, the Debian box has been losing its static ip and picking up a dynamic ip address (from the DSL router's DHCP server). From /etc/network/interfaces... auto eth0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1 # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package... dns-nameservers 208.201.224.11 208.201.224.33 dns-search localdomain I can restart the network, and the static ip gets restored - only to be dropped again at some unpredictable time (usually seems to happen only after hours or days have passed). Any ideas as to why the static ip is being dropped and replaced by a DHCP call would be much appreciated. Jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Changing public IP Address
Hi all, I currently have an iptables firewall for our DSL line. My ISP informed me that I need to change my public IP address by the end of month because AT&T is taking back a big block of addresses. I have all of the new information (gateway, new IP address, DNS servers, etc.). I host Web sites and email so my question is can I make the public IP address change without a loss of service? Here is what I am currently thinking of doing: 1) Add new IP address to eth0 on the firewall 2) Configure the firewall to route the new address traffic like it does the old address traffic 3) Create new DNS records for all domains that I host to point to the new IP address 4) Pray it all works! My concerns are the following: 1) Will I be able to use two gateway addresses on eth0? (So that I don't have traffic come in on one address and try to exit on the other) 2) My DSL "modem" is just acting as a pass-through bridge. Will I run into problems using one physical line between my DSL modem and my firewall for both sets of traffic (new and old IP addresses)? What hints or pointers can you give me? I'm currently digging through "multihomed" firewall information, but I don't see anything that speaks about using just one Internet link and one network card to accomplish what I'm after.

Re: Changing IP address
So far I have had a couple of people help and this is what we have come up with.
To change the IP address of a system the following files need to be modified.
/etc/hosts - This was easy to figure out.
/etc/resolv.conf - Just change the DNS servers to the new IP's.
/etc/networks - I am a little confused on this one. My system had a single
line in
this file of:
localnet 204.178.205.224 where the IP address of the linux system was
204.178.205.227
and the pipeline router's IP was 204.178.205.225. How is the number
determined? It
must have been calculated by the install scripts as I do not remember typing it
in.
/etc/init.d/network - Here is where I am having my problems.
I have modified the IPADDR to my new IP address of the linux system.
XXX.XXX.XXX.103
I have left the NETMASK at 255.255.255.248 as it was set before.
I set NETWORK to the IP address of the router minus XXX.XXX.XXX.100 - IS THIS
CORRECT?
I set the BROADCAST to what it was before XXX.XXX.XXX.231 - IS THIS CORRECT?
The GATEWAY is set to XXX.XXX.XXX.101 which is the IP address of my router.
The lines:
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
executes without any errors.
route add -net ${NETWORK}
executes and gives the error SIOCADDR: invalid argument
The last line also gives an error "SIOCADDR: Network is unreachable" but I
think that
is probably caused by the former error.
Is there anything else we need to change that is not listed above? -or- Does
anyone
have an idea of why this error occurs and what value NETWORK shoud be?
Any ideas on an easier way to get this working? I know during the original
install,
it was much easier to understand and many of these parameters were calculated
by the
script.
Thanks,
Doug

Re: Changing IP address
Well,
I have now have the linux system working on my network. I ended up changing
the network
broadcast, and netmask to (XXX.XXX.XXX.0, XXX.XXX.XXX.255, and 255.255.255.0
respectively). I do not know why I had to do this as my network mask was far
more
restrictive 255.255.255.248 with my last ISP. I guess I need to do a little
more studying
on what each of these parameters do.
I do still have a few behavior problems (my network that is :) !
1. My windows 95 system can not see my linux samba server in network
neighborhood (it use
to see it fine). I can type in the link by hand \\linuxsystemid\username to
create the
link. Does anybody know if there is a parameter in samba that relates to
system IP
addresses?
2. My router logs into the internet every time my windoze 95 system powers up
and connects
to the samba servers. I think this has to do with the netmask...
Thanks to everyone who has helped!

RE: Changing IP address
Samba sends out broadcast packets saying what services it has available to the network. If the netmask is set incorrectly the other machines on the network don't get the broadcast and don't see the machine in network neighborhood. Your router is dialing out 'cuse it thinks that the machine is on a different network and is trying to reach it through the net. The only samba setting that needs an ip (I think) is the 'win server'. 255.255.255.248 gives a range of 8 IPs, with six usable IPs (first is network ip, last is broadcast). --Dano > -Original Message- > From: Doug Thistlethwaite [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 1999 10:13 AM > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Re: Changing IP address > > Well, > > I have now have the linux system working on my network.

Humm Basically, my ISP gave me three IP addresses (I had to twist his arm as normally he changes A LOT more for static IP addresses. I have .101, .102, and .103 on his network with .253 being his system. His suggestion is to use 255.255.255.0 for the netmask, with .0 for the network and .255 for the broadcast address.

I have the feeling that if I push to much, I am going to become a internet orphan again. In my location, I am having a very hard time trying to get ISDN service within my local calling area.

I know the router (pipeline 50) has some fancy features and maybe they can help. I tried the following this morning after your last message.

The thought was that I could use 4 bits to define my network (FF.FF.FF.F0) and with the number 101, 102, 103, it would define the block between .96 and .111 Unfortunately, after I changed each system to these settings, the network still behaved in the same way. Can I know the pipeline 50 has filters, DHCP, NAT, and other fancy features. Unfortunately, I do not have a manual for the device. Thanks for the help, Doug

RE: Changing IP address
'k you are using a special case :). Normally ISPs like to seperate networks into subnets, guess they think that its too much of a hassle. Pipeline does have a configuration program that makes it easer to play with the router. With only getting three ip addresses you're kinda screwed, and have only two options that I can think of. Option #1 - use the settings that he gave you and live with the router dialing out. Option #2 - drop a second network card in your linux box and use ipmasq for an internal network. Sorry that this has been such a pain. --Dano

How does the router know when something is outside his subnet and he needs to dial out? Look at Configure/MyAddr. You'd set that up as 204.178.54.101/29, so now the router knows what his address and subnet is. Also, set Configure/RemAddr to 204.178.54.253/29, and set the appropriate phone number (which I imagine you've already done). I'm actually not sure if you have to do the following if you only have one connection profile, but you should give it a look. Probably the Lan Addrs on the connection profile has already been done automatically, and the Default/Gateway stuff *is* necessary. Look at Ethernet/Connections//IP options/Lan Addrs=x.x.x.x for your connection profile to the ISP. I believe for what you're wanting to do, Lan Addrs should be 204.178.54.253/29, since it's *his* subnet that you'd be dialing out to. Even more importantly, look at Ethernet/Static Rtes/Default/Gateway. Set that value to 204.178.54.253. That makes it so that any IP address the router sees that is outside his subnet needs to go through a gateway of 204.178.54.253, which is in the subnet that you just set up the connection profile for. If you can get this router config stuff straight, you should at least be able to inhibit the unnecessary outgoing calls. If you're still getting outgoing calls, then you probably need to do things like look at the output of tcpdump -ttn to see what addresses are causing the callouts, and getting debug output from named, to see what's making him do stupid lookups (this is where NetBIOS stuff from Win95 comes in). Just as a clue here, make sure your domain name on your Windows machine is set to be the same as your Linux server. A mismatch there often causes stupid DNS lookups. Now on your Linux machine, you'll need 204.178.54.101 (your router address) as the gateway, but I think you already know that. > Thanks for the help, > > Doug > Your welcome. :-)
Unauthorized remote IP address
Hi all, I am trying to establish a network connection with my Palm Pilot via the cradle on ttyS0 and pppd won't let it stay connected.

On every machine it means "myself". Don't try to wipe it out or you may find some of your software doesn't work. Any IP packets addressed to 127.0.0.1 should never leave the machine they originate from (unless maybe they're source-routed) -- if you find packets with that destination address getting off your machine and onto the wires then you have a big problem. But I doubt that is the case -- some stuff would have to be pretty broken to permit that. In a nutshell: this is normal.

The 127.0.0.1 address is the so-called localhost-address. Linux uses this address if it is running standalone, no network available, and for local purposes. Thus you should not remove this address, which normally is found int /etc/hosts. Andreas.

ip address and netmask
I am slowly working toward a vpn between the office and home.
