please send me your /etc/network/interfaces

If you configure everything manually, it works?
meaning ifconfig eth0 up...

an apt-dist-upgrade brought in a new version of ifupdown, which fixed
things.
The problem was not in my configuration, that had worked for 9 months, it
was that apt-get had trashed ifup!
Thanks.

Re: networking broken (ifup, route add)

2001-06-12 Thread Gregory Guthrie



oops,
10.10.10.0 != 10.10.0.0
according to routing tables, ifconfing should give you an address like 
10.10.10.x

is this correct?


-- Good observation, error on my part.

I corrected;
omega:/local# cat netset
#
#  emergency network setup
ifconfig\
eth0  10.10.10.109  \
netmask  255.255.0.0\
broadcast 10.10.255.255

ifconfig\
localhost 127.0.0.1 \
netmask  255.255.0.0\
broadcast 10.10.255.255

route add default gw 10.10.0.1

This fixes routing (Thanks!), but localhost is still broken.
and ifup...

omega:/local# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric 
RefUse Iface
localnet*   255.255.0.0 U 0  0 
   0 eth0
default 10.10.0.1   0.0.0.0 UG0  0 
   0 eth0

omega:/local# ifup -a
/etc/network/interfaces: Function not implemented
ifup: couldn't read interfaces file /etc/network/interfaces
omega:/local#

THe problem came in because trying to work around the broken ifup, I made 
this manual setup, which I did wrong.


SO,
 1) what's wrong with ifup,
 2) how to manually add localhost.

Thanks.

try iface lo inet loopback (for 127.0.0.1)


-- I think this is a /etc/network/interfaces specification, not an actual 
command:

omega:/local# iface lo inet loopback
bash: iface: command not found


also notice

ifconfig\
localhost 127.0.0.1 \
netmask  255.255.0.0\
broadcast 10.10.255.255

broadcast address is wrong


-- Why? Looks OK to me.

networking broken (ifup, route add)

2001-06-11 Thread Gregory Guthrie

Help;

after an apt-get fiasco, I seem mostly restored, but networking is still 
broken.

(Thanks for other hints on those recoveries)

Symptoms:

1) I can manually add etho,
but not localhost,
omega:/etc/apt# route add default gw 10.10.0.1
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

2) ifup -a fails:
omega:/etc/apt#ifup -a
/etc/network/interfaces: Function not implemented
ifup: couldn't read interfaces file /etc/network/interfaces
omega:/etc/apt#

Thus, routing is broken, and I have lots of subsidiary resulting problems.

Suggestions?

Gregory

Place the appropriate lines in - /etc/network/interfaces
and run -
# /etc/init.d/networking restart

Using you're settings the file should have the following format -
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.10.7
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.10.0
broadcast 192.168.10.255
gateway 192.168.10.1

See - man interfaces for more.  If you get errors post them to the list.
