Static Addressing of eth0/eth1 doesn't work

[jluce]

Using f9-x86_64...

I cannot get static addresses to work on eth0 and eth1. eth0 seems to use DHCP while eth1 uses the static information. Sometimes the static info is used but the interfaces get the addresses reversed.

From /etc/sysconfig/network

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=mosaic
GATEWAY=192.168.0.2


From /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices AND /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

ifcfg-eth0:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=00:30:483:B3:A6
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.7.53
BROADCAST=192.168.7.255
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
DNS1=192.168.0.2
DNS2=192.168.0.10
DOMAIN=mydomain.com
GATEWAY=192.168.0.2


ifcfg-eth1:

DEVICE=eth1
HWADDR=00:30:483:B3:A7
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.70.53
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=192.168.70.255
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet

eth1 is used only for multicasts.

when I edit ifcfg-eth0 in .../networking/devices the info in .../network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 (note the interface names in the two files) change to match the edited file as if the interfaces get flip flopped in the different directories.

No symbolic links present.

Any help would be appreciated.

how do I reconfigure the boot sequence to use the old 'network' vs. 'Network-Manager' ?

It seems to be splattered at different run levels...

Thanks!

chkconfig

or if you like a more user friendly way

system-config-services

Note that you also need to uncheck the "Controlled by NetworkManager" box in the system-config-network tool for the interface

BTW, if you edit by hand you should edit the scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and not under the ../sysconfig/networking area,
I think you had it backwards. The system-config. ... tools are nice since they automatically take care of that.

It looks to me like you have a problem with your MAC addresses, they have big smiley faces in them.

[jluce]

yeah, that'll make some smiley faces... they're plain text on the Fedora server.

Thanks! I'll try this, yes, I did have those backwards... it was in network-scripts.

i sure hope this utility will get 'inetd' running, but then again, I don't see a /sbin/inetd executable...

wow, what else has changed!?!?!?
