simple networking problem - bringing up eth0 correctly

2003-04-05 Thread Dale Welch 
I need to automate setting up my network and i seem to be missing
something...

using debian
  Linux Version 2.4.18-bf2.4-xfs

if i manually do the following commands i can get out on my network
   ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
   route add default gw 192.168.1.254

i also seem to be not setting up for dns... how do i set that up? (can't
resolv names)

Your help greatly appreciated, I used to run freebsd years ago, but now am
trying to use linux and obviously need help.

Edit /etc/network/interfaces instead, then /etc/init.d/networking restart

Edit /etc/resolv.conf, check the manual (resolv.conf(5))

To explain better:
 if i manually do the following commands i can get out on my network
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.1.254
i need to have that configured automatically during start-up and i need my
dns to work.

just found my dns problem... in resolv.conf i had name server instead of
nameserver --- dns now works.
but what is wrong with my interfaces... all help appreciated. :-)

my resolv.conf:
   domain babbler.org
   search babbler.org
   nameserver 4.2.2.1

interfaces:
  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet static
  address  192.168.1.51
  network 192.168.1.0
  gateway 192.168.1.254

Try this.

# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation
# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.51

broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.0.254
