| 20:20.35 | GGD_work | hey plarsen stickster |
| 20:20.44 | GGD_work | jsmith-away: |
| 20:20.53 | GGD_work | i have an issue with ubuntu 9.10 |
| 20:21.05 | GGD_work | i am trying to put in a static ip on it and its not taking it |
| 20:21.10 | GGD_work | any ideas? |
| 20:21.56 | GGD_work | the wireless works its just when i put in the IP it doens't work.. |
| 20:22.15 | GGD_work | i mean i did exactly what i did for my f13 and it still will not take the ip |
| 20:24.46 | GGD_work | any ideas? |
| 20:25.14 | stickster | doesn't use that distro and has no ideas :- |
| 20:25.20 | GGD_work | i know |
| 20:25.23 | GGD_work | grrr |
| 20:26.05 | GGD_work | ( not at you stickster ) |
| 20:26.14 | stickster | :-) |
| 20:26.18 | plarsen | agrees with stickster :) |
| 20:26.38 | jsmith | Using NetworkManager, or some other method? |
| 20:26.51 | plarsen | GGD_work: you always need to provide more information. "Not working" seldom tells anyone enough to be able to help |
| 20:27.00 | GGD_work | sorry plarsen |
| 20:27.17 | GGD_work | well i put in the IP info.. the ip address the sn and gw and the dns |
| 20:27.28 | GGD_work | but when i save it the gw zeros out |
| 20:27.47 | GGD_work | and when i try to get to a web page it says page can not be displayed |
| 20:28.08 | plarsen | GGD_work: did you turn off dhcp first? |
| 20:28.09 | GGD_work | wireless works.. but the hardwire is the issue |
| 20:28.24 | GGD_work | i think so |
| 20:28.24 | GGD_work | plarsen: |
| 20:29.15 | jsmith | GGD_work: What if you type "route add default gw 1.2.3.4", where 1.2.3.4 is your default gw? |
| 20:30.19 | GGD_work | SIOCADDRT: No such process is the message i get |
| 20:31.48 | stickster | Is there a "eth0" needed at the end of that line? |
| 20:32.37 | GGD_work | same message |
| 20:33.15 | GGD_work | like you stickster this is my distro either i am a fedora-type man myself |
| 20:33.16 | GGD_work | :) |
| 20:33.36 | stickster | They're using something other than NetworkManager right? |
| 20:33.41 | GGD_work | yes |
| 20:33.44 | stickster | Perhaps there's a GUI tool for adjusting it? |
| 20:34.10 | stickster | Like a settings > network choice on the menu. |
| 20:35.25 | GGD_work | it looks like on the upper right there is a network symbol |
| 20:35.38 | GGD_work | i am using it |
| 20:36.01 | GGD_work | but it seems like its not quite there as a gui |
| 20:36.52 | GGD_work | "network connections" it looks like gnomes network manager |
| 20:37.29 | GGD_work | i stand corrected its a network manager applet |
| 20:37.36 | GGD_work | according to the about |
| 20:41.43 | GGD_work | but there isn't a full blown network manager sotware that i could see |
| 20:41.48 | GGD_work | like fedora has |
| 20:43.43 | GGD_work | i looked on the packages and it looks like network manager is installe |
| 20:43.44 | GGD_work | d |
| 20:44.37 | GGD_work | plarsen: i changed it from dhcp to static |
| 20:46.42 | plarsen | GGD_work: if you use network manager, just fill out the form in there. No need to modify files or anything. |
| 20:47.02 | GGD_work | thats the issue when i try to fill in the gateway it doesn't take |
| 20:47.19 | GGD_work | it ether puts in 0.0.0.0 or its completely blank |
| 20:47.38 | GGD_work | it takes the ip address, DNS , and subnet mask |
| 20:49.46 | plarsen | What is the method you choose in network manager? |
| 20:49.56 | GGD_work | static |
| 20:50.12 | GGD_work | manual |
| 20:50.13 | GGD_work | rather |
| 20:50.53 | plarsen | And you choose "add" and added a static address to the list? |
| 20:51.12 | GGD_work | yes |
| 20:51.22 | plarsen | What did you type of address, mask and gateway? |
| 20:51.23 | GGD_work | all but the gateway |
| 20:51.51 | GGD_work | 143.231.x.x 255.255.255.192 143.231.x.x |
| 20:52.09 | GGD_work | and the last one will not "stick" when i click apply |
| 20:52.13 | GGD_work | it blanks out |
| 20:52.21 | GGD_work | or put in 0.0.0.0 |
| 20:52.33 | plarsen | GGD_work: make sure that your gateway and netmask are compatible |
| 20:52.47 | GGD_work | oh? |
| 20:53.04 | plarsen | Must be in the same segment or it wouldn't work |
| 20:53.16 | GGD_work | its the same sn as all the rest |
| 20:53.24 | GGD_work | is it not? |
| 20:53.38 | plarsen | all the rest?? |
| 20:53.38 | plarsen | sn? |
| 20:53.49 | GGD_work | subnet mask |
| 20:54.04 | GGD_work | every machine on the network uses the same one |
| 20:54.15 | plarsen | mask i legal. You just have to be sure that the gateway is within the segment specified by the mask |
| 20:54.35 | GGD_work | hmm |
| 20:55.49 | GGD_work | its right |
| 20:57.08 | plarsen | So when you hit edit and click on the gateway, type in 143.231.30.1 (example) and hit enter, what happens? |
| 20:57.17 | GGD_work | it blanks out |
| 20:58.08 | GGD_work | hold on plarsen |
| 20:58.14 | GGD_work | it took for some reason |
| 20:59.39 | GGD_work | but when i go to a website it doesn't come up |
| 20:59.39 | GGD_work | the dns is right |
