knoppix 3.4 kernel 2.6 ethernet help!

You shall not execute the file, but create it.
(later you may execute it).

But it's a good idea to test the command first:

Code:

---

ifconfig eth0 192.168.100.11 up

---

and if it works (no reply)

Code:

---

echo "ifconfig eth0 192.168.100.11 up" > /etc/rc4.d/S50ifup.sh
/etc/rc4.d/S50ifup.sh

---

Ok I found the key to the fix in this thread
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=19004

I reconfigured my router and disabled DHCP. Then I set up static IP address.

# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo eth0

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.100.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.100.0
broadcast 192.168.100.11
gateway 192.168.100.10

Then I edited /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig
and replaced

pump -i $DEVICE >/dev/null 2>&1 &

with

/etc/init.d/networking restart

Now I have connection after every restart

Thanks for the help

set the broadcast adress to 192.168.100.255 and I'm happy. :)

(and welcome to the wonderful world of static IPs :) )

Done!

Thanks again
