[gentoo-user] static ip

[gentoo-user] static ip

[Andrey Vul]

I somehow killed the dhcp in my openwrt router and failsafe mode
requires a static IP address. Stopping net.eth0 and then running
'#ifconfig eth0 up; ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2' resulted with a 'No
route to host' error when telnetting to 192.168.1.1 .

I think the No route to host means that your router interface is not up for 
some reason.

Do you get the same problem if you run /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start and then you 
run ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2

Otherwise also run:  route add default gw 192.168.1.1

HTH.

Better to edit /etc/conf.d/net for static IP, then restart /etc/init.d/ 
net.eth0

See /etc/conf.d/net.example

Probably something like:

config_eth0=( "192.168.1.44 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast  
192.168.1.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.1.1" )

Check your /etc/resolv.conf as well.  Make sure any automated networking
daemons are shut off, because some of them like to over-write this, which is
bad if they aren't working correctly with the network for some reason.  This
is often the difference between unknown route to host and a functional
network!
