20:20.44GGD_workjsmith-away:
20:20.53GGD_worki have an issue with ubuntu 9.10
20:21.05GGD_worki am trying to put in a static ip on it and its not taking it
20:21.10GGD_workany ideas?
20:21.56GGD_workthe wireless works its just when i put in the IP it doens't work..
20:22.15GGD_worki mean i did exactly what i did for my f13 and it still will not take the ip
20:24.46GGD_workany ideas?
20:25.14sticksterdoesn't use that distro and has no ideas :-
20:25.20GGD_worki know
20:25.23GGD_workgrrr
20:26.05GGD_work( not at you stickster )
20:26.14stickster:-)
20:26.18plarsenagrees with stickster :)
20:26.38jsmithUsing NetworkManager, or some other method?
20:26.51plarsenGGD_work: you always need to provide more information. "Not working" seldom tells anyone enough to be able to help
20:27.00GGD_worksorry plarsen
20:27.17GGD_workwell i put in the IP info.. the ip address the sn and gw and the dns
20:27.28GGD_workbut when i save it the gw zeros out
20:27.47GGD_workand when i try to get to a web page it says page can not be displayed
20:28.08plarsenGGD_work: did you turn off dhcp first?
20:28.09GGD_workwireless works..  but the hardwire is the issue
20:28.24GGD_worki think so
20:28.24GGD_workplarsen:
20:29.15jsmithGGD_work: What if you type "route add default gw 1.2.3.4", where 1.2.3.4 is your default gw?
20:30.19GGD_workSIOCADDRT: No such process is the message i get
20:31.48sticksterIs there a "eth0" needed at the end of that line?
20:32.37GGD_worksame message
20:33.15GGD_worklike you stickster this is my distro either i am a fedora-type man myself
20:33.16GGD_work:)
20:33.36sticksterThey're using something other than NetworkManager right?
20:33.41GGD_workyes
20:33.44sticksterPerhaps there's a GUI tool for adjusting it?
20:34.10sticksterLike a settings > network choice on the menu.
20:35.25GGD_workit looks like on the upper right there is a network symbol
20:35.38GGD_worki am using it
20:36.01GGD_workbut it seems like its not quite there as a gui
20:36.52GGD_work"network connections"  it looks like gnomes network manager
20:37.29GGD_worki stand corrected its a network manager applet
20:37.36GGD_workaccording to the about
20:41.43GGD_workbut there isn't a full blown network manager sotware that i could see
20:41.48GGD_worklike fedora has
20:43.43GGD_worki looked on the packages and it looks like network manager is installe
20:43.44GGD_workd
20:44.37GGD_workplarsen: i changed it from dhcp to static
20:46.42plarsenGGD_work: if you use network manager, just fill out the form in there. No need to modify files or anything.
20:47.02GGD_workthats the issue when i try to fill in the gateway  it doesn't take
20:47.19GGD_workit ether puts in 0.0.0.0 or its completely blank
20:47.38GGD_workit takes the ip address, DNS , and subnet mask
20:49.46plarsenWhat is the method you choose in network manager?
20:49.56GGD_workstatic
20:50.12GGD_workmanual
20:50.13GGD_workrather
20:50.53plarsenAnd you choose "add" and added a static address to the list?
20:51.12GGD_workyes
20:51.22plarsenWhat did you type of address, mask and gateway?
20:51.23GGD_workall but the gateway
20:51.51GGD_work143.231.x.x 255.255.255.192 143.231.x.x
20:52.09GGD_workand the last one will not "stick" when i click apply
20:52.13GGD_workit blanks out
20:52.21GGD_workor put in 0.0.0.0
20:52.33plarsenGGD_work: make sure that your gateway and netmask are compatible
20:52.47GGD_workoh?
20:53.04plarsenMust be in the same segment or it wouldn't work
20:53.16GGD_workits the same sn as all the rest
20:53.24GGD_workis it not?
20:53.38plarsenall the rest??
20:53.38plarsensn?
20:53.49GGD_worksubnet mask
20:54.04GGD_workevery machine on  the network uses the same one
20:54.15plarsenmask i legal. You just have to be sure that the gateway is within the segment specified by the mask
20:54.35GGD_workhmm
20:55.49GGD_workits right
20:57.08plarsenSo when you hit edit and click on the gateway, type in 143.231.30.1 (example) and hit enter, what happens?
20:57.17GGD_workit blanks out
20:58.08GGD_workhold on plarsen
20:58.14GGD_workit took for some reason
20:59.39GGD_workbut when i go to a website it doesn't come up
20:59.39GGD_workthe dns is right
