Re: [Staffslug] Unanswerable Question

Thanks for the quick response Andrew - here is a little more info: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:85:5E:EC:CE inet addr:192.168.1.15 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::211:85ff:fe5e:ecce/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:806 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:667 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1008 RX bytes:1041362 (1016.9 KiB) TX bytes 53020 (51.7 KiB) If I look in etc/init.d/networking it shows me just some scripting for enabling/disabling the interface - no settings for DHCP/DNS etc. in there. I don't have a file named net.eth0 or eth1. If I go into the settings for the card (in the GUI) I can see that it has picked up the IP and broadcast address. If I manually input the IP, SM and gateway - it still doesn't work. net-setup (command not found). dhcpd (command not found). If i try route add.. I get a comment saying SIOCADDRT: Operation not permitted. I loaded up Fedora Core 6 Live to discover no ifconfig command! _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk http://www.staffslug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/staffslug
