And your interface is not point-to-point? I fail to see how anything will work with that configuration. No IP addresses will be considered on-link, since nothing except for your IP address is in the "subnet", and you'll therefore not be able to configure any gateways for off-link routing... Are you sure you don't want to configure a point-to-point interface to an ISP endpoint instead? > I have in my /etc/netmasks : > > DOM0_IP 255.255.255.255 > > but when I reboot, my netmask and broadcast is set incorrectly: First, I don't believe that you can use names in /etc/netmasks. Try using a literal IP address. Personally, I wouldn't use /etc/netmasks at all. A better method is to associate the netmask with the IP address in your /etc/hostname.<bla> file, like this: 1.2.3.4/16 In your case, that would be /32 (if /32 is in fact what you want, which I doubt). -Seb _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
