I still cannot connect to my DSL. I will, for clarity, reproduce my
/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0/ipv4 file:
ONBOOT=yes
SERVICE=ipv4-static
IP=<static addr given to me by ISP>
GATEWAY=<another static addr given to me by ISP>
PREFIX=32
BROADCAST=<yet another static addr given to me by ISP>
All addr's are in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, ergo PREFIX=32.
Here's the problem. If I don't comment out the GATEWAY line, I get
the RTNETLINK errors. (The error sequence starts with "Removing
default gateway" or something like that.) If I comment the line, the
networking starts with no errors, but I cannot connect.
My research indicates that there may be something wrong (or not
present) in the IP Route Table. I found an interesting entry in the
Mandrake side of my box when I ran 'routel.' I'm going to try to
manually change that in BLFS, but right now I'm wondering if I haven't
missed changing some script or file in BLFS. Does any one have any
ideas? It's possible that I forgot to compile something into the kernel.
I tried to add a default entry into the ip route tables. Unless I'm
completely screwing it up both Iproute2 and Net-tools-1.60 both report
"Network is unreachable"
This is rather cryptic and I don't know how to extract more
information. I also don't know if I'm entering the commands correctly.
This is what I used for Iproute2
I did find this guide:
http://snafu.freedom.org/linux2.2/docs/ip-cref/
that talks about ipchains. It's rather out of date but some of it looks
useful. Does anyone know of a more up to date reference?
I'm just out of ideas. I hope someone here can help.
