[gentoo-user] Static addresses and timeouts

[Eduard Bachmakov <e.bachmakov@gmx.net>]

I want to run a webserver on my PC. Since I am using a NAT-router for internet 
connection I need the server to have the same ip everytime. That's why I 
tried to use static routes.

The problem is that I get timeouts for about 25-75% of the time. DHCP works 
without any problems (but I get different ips). The static address is 
192.168.2.50, DHCP starts at 192.168.2.100 so there should be no problems of 
two pcs having the same ip. 

The nameservers seem to work since I can ping any system without any problem.

Here is my /etc/conf.d/net:
> config_eth0="'192.168.2.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255'" 
> routes_eth0="'default via 192.168.2.1'" 
> fallback_config_eth0="'dhcp'" 
> 
> dns_servers="192.168.2.1" 
> dhcpcd="'-t 10'" 
> dns_domain="'outer_space'"

The timeouts also happen if I use my wlan (with static routes; same pc).

So what went wrong?
