Fixed ip-adress in Knoppix to use openmosix

[ktheking]

Downloaded remastered knoppix for OpenMosix testing.

Seems very nice ,but how the hell can I fix my ip adress in knoppix ?

The config is as follows =>
The master (which boots on knoppix cd) has to have a fixed ipadress of
192.168.0.1 with a subnetmask of 255.255.255.252 . (this should give a broadcast adress of 192.168.0.3 ,with on this network only 2 client ip's possible : 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 ) .
Since in this openmosix version once the ip is fixed the dhcp server starts (also on this master) the only thin to do is to do a connection with crossed cable from the client pc (booting in PXE to this master pc).

To configure this in knoppix I use the provided with it 'netcardconfig'.

When answering 'No' to DHCP these are the questions asked by netcardconfig :

IPadress
NetworkMask
Broadcastadress
DefaultGateway
Namesserver(s)

With anything I fill in the result is : can't lookup broadcast

What must I fill in for these values ,or do i have to use ifconfig and do it completely manually ?

greetzzz,

--I'm not sure why you have to restrict your network so much if you're using a crossover cable. But anyway, netcardconfig is only a front-end. If you need to do it with manual ifconfig, this should work:

' ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.253 broadcast 192.168.0.3 up '
