ifconfig problem in KNOPPIX 3.8.1
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

The man page for ifconfig says that "add" is used to add an IPv6 address to an interface, but you obviously want IPv4.
Try this (as root):
<code>
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255
</code>
or use the Koppix-menu to configure an ethernet card.
