I'd recommend choosing an address outside of the dhcp pool of
addresses; for instance 10.50.50.94. Modify /lib/ndb/local to reflect
the change. Add the following to either your termrc or cpurc
configuration file:
ip/ipconfig -g 10.50.50.1 ether /net/ether0 10.50.50.94 255.255.255.0
Review the termrc or cpurc configuration file and ensure the following
is stated:
/ndb/dns -r
For testing purposes, try modifying the /lib/ndb/local file as
suggested then run the two commands before modifying any other files.
If you can connect at that point then add the commands to your
configuration.
--vester
