This is not a DNS issue, there is no name resolution involved here.
Did you first try running DHCP?
In the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 (SLES8) file you can have:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
should set you up. Then you query with
/sbin/ifconfig
and see what values are set.
You could then go back and set up the static address like:
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=172.21.111.30
NETMASK=255.255.254.0
ONBOOT=yes
GATEWAY=172.21.111.254
For Redhat you will find it in:
/etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Subject: Linux on P/390 help
Hi,
I've gotten my P/390 running linux again. I can telnet in to the system,
and
I can ping all the systems on my network - except my router at IP address
192.168.0.1. Nothing can get through to that.
The linux is set as IP 192.168.0.3 and netmask 255.255.255.0. The gateway
was going to be 192.168.0.1, but since I cant access it.... I understand
there might be some extra parameters I need to give, broadcast and
network?
Lastly, I donât think it is related but could it be DNS - I have a DNS
server here, and everything resolves correctly to it on my other machines
so
I cant see the problem there.
Please help - thanks in advance, Alex J Burke.
