Hi All,
I have a problem trying to set up my eth0 with ifconfig command as follows:
ifconfig -a eth0 add xxx.xxx.xx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0
Coming back with error message "SIOCSIFNETMASK: Cannot assign requested address"
If I try to set it up with command:
ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24
I get a new error message.
"192.168.12.112/24 Host Name Lookup Failure"
Ideas?
J
