Hi Magi, Did you run arp -n into Foxboard? That seems to have a DNS problem only (ubuntu) or just your gw not set. Try to add the gw. For the foxboard you should take a look how to remove the FIXED ip while using DHCP.
I am just curious if someone has got SDK 2.01 running on ubuntu 8.10. For the fist time since ubuntu 7.10 the gnome applet works like a charm and should take care of the ethernet configuration and DNS setup, just right click on the applet e check the active connection information to see the DNS and route are correct. Once gnome applet is in charge you cannot setup manually using ifconfig. I think it is not what you have asked help for, but.... Happy new year t you all foxboard and ubuntu users. --- In [email protected], "jlivingstonsg1" <jlivingston...@...> wrote: > > Hello. > > I have finally got ubuntu 8.10 on my computers and its greate > so now I hope I can use the foxboard better. > But I maybe need some advice and a kickstart. > > I now have flashed foxboard 832 with CrisOs DarwinFox 8.09 > and when I run > arp -n > I get > ---------- > Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface > 192.168.0.1 ether 00:18:f8:4b:0e:d4 C eth0 > 192.168.0.90 (not compleat) eth0 > ------------ > > When I click on the link "dnsmasq" i go to the site > http://man.cx/dnsmasq > but there is nothing to download there > so I google "dnsmasq" and downloaded > dnsmasq-2.46.tar.gz > from > http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/ > > I think I installed it and now I try to run the commands > ------------ > #/bin/sh > sudo killall -9 dnsmasq > sudo sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 > sudo dnsmasq --dhcp- range=192.168.0.45,192.168.0.56,255.255.255.0,12h > -i eth0 -d > --------------- > And they all seem to work fine but the last > "sudo dnsmasq --dhcp- > range=192.168.0.45,192.168.0.56,255.255.255.0,12h -i eth0 -d" > fail. > And then I can not connect to the internet so I have to restart my PC. > > I also found that I have > network management framework (GNOME frontend) > installed and it is supposed to have a DHCP. > Can somebody tell me how to use that instead, if it is better to use? > > Regards > Now finally a linix user > Magi >
