here's something wrong already. a) eth0 should not have address 192.168.0.200 (for the purpose of easy access to the fr, that is) and b) specifically not, when everything is disconnected > usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr d2:d8:e1:48:cd:a2 > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:39 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 > RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:5321 (5.1 KB) > > usb0:avahi Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr d2:d8:e1:48:cd:a2 > inet addr:169.254.9.209 Bcast:169.254.255.255 > Mask:255.255.0.0 > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 eth0 retains the ip and usb0 does not get any. in theory you need the two first commands i posted now (ifdown usb0 and ifconfig), in praxi it wouldn't help much since it most likely clashes with your existing network configuration. > here im trying to add a new route : sudo route add-host 192.168.0.202 dev > usb0 hardly probable to work -- usb0 has no ip. you did not do ipdown/ifconfig. there are some serious issues with your network configuration (from the point of fr networking at least), which need to be solved first. theoretically, you could circumvent them by using another mask and iptables and stuff. what's for the moment is mots important, is to figure out why eth0 uses 192.168.0.200 and why it does retain the ip even when disconnected (by which i mean cable being unplugged). most lilkly avahi is guilty ... please, check the necessary tools for the configured network properties (there should be some tools with graphic user interface available, if everything fails, post the content of /etc/network/interfaces) and figure out, what ip range your router uses. furthermore, check if the software on your fr contains an text editor. _______________________________________________ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
