I booted into arrakis and changed the ifcfg-eth1 file. then I
connected arrakis eth1 to caladan eth0 with
the crossover cable. then I did the restart. I've typed this from
the arrakis monitor:
[root at localhost init.d]# ./network restart
Shutting down interface eth1: [ ok ]
Shutting down loopback interface: [ ok ]
Disabling IPv4 packet forwarding: [ ok ]
Setting network parameters: [ ok ]
Bringing up interface eth0:
Determining IP information for eth0... faile; no link present. Check cable?
[ failed ]
Bringing up interface eth1:
Determining IP information for eth1... failed.
[ failed ]
[root at localhost init.d]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
#D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet
DEVICE=eth1
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
#BOOTPROTO=none|bootp|dhcp
#which do I want?
HWADDR=00:0D:88:37:FA:22
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=192.168.10.255
while it didn't work, this is helpful in that it appears to show that
the problem is with arrakis. at least I know where to focus.
why did the script fail to determine the IP information, please?
thanks,
Thufir
