Recently, i've been using debian distribution and i 've had several problems with the configuration for wired network settings. I tried to configure my host with a static ip and afterwards configure a dhcp ip through bash script. Besides, configure the static ip for eth0 interface(set the appropriate parameters such as ip, net mask, gateway, dns-nameservers in the file /etc/network/interfaces) as follows :
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.100.38 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.100.1 dns-nameservers 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.1 The configuration is wired through ethernet cable. After that configuration i modify /etc/wicd/wired-settings.conf as follows: [wired-default] ip = 192.168.100.38 broadcast = netmask = 255.255.255.0 gateway = 192.168.100.1 search_domain = dns_domain = dns1 = 192.168.100.1 dns2 = 192.168.100.1 dns3 = beforescrip = None afterscrip = None predisconnectscrip = None postdisconnectscrip = None encryption_enabled = None default = True dhcphostname = beaglebone lastused = True and finally the file /etc/wicd/manager-settings.conf [Settings] backend = external wireless_interface = None wired_interface = eth0 wpa_driver = wext always_show_wired_interface = True use_global_dns = False global_dns_1 = None global_dns_2 = None global_dns_3 = None global_dns_dom = None global_search_dom = None auto_reconnect = True debug_mode = True wired_connect_mode = 0 signal_display_type = 0 should_verify_ap = 1 dhcp_client = 0 link_detect_tool = 0 flush_tool = 0 sudo_app = 0 prefer_wired = True show_never_connect = True But i came across with a problem because each time i try to connect the host to the network, the ethernet interface sometimes gets up and the ifconfig command doesn't show the static ip configured. Other problem i came across is when i configure static ip after reboot the network configuration has a ip configured via dhcp. i mean, lost the static configuration. having configure both dynamic or static ip and ensure network connection with ping i unplugged Ethernet cable and plugged in afterwards, i noticed the phy interface is not working any more and after several time the phy interface is up and communication is established. 1) how can i manage those issues? 2 ) I wonder if you could recommend to me some steps to follow in the configuration for the wicd files for static and dynamic dhcp . 3) would you may tell me what are the correct steps i have to follow to configurate dhcp and static ip correctly? 4) Is there some command or utility to manage the time phy interface gets up after a hot plug? thank you i hope you can help me. best regards -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
