debian server network problem!

check your network interfaces file through etc/network/interfaces -
should have the below text for correct setting.

Quote

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The loopback network interface
auto lo no2 eth0
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.200
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

Why 2 static ips'

hash # out or simply remove the second ip settings

iface no2 inet static
address 192.168.1.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
network 192.168.1.0

i dont know exactly but i cant see why you need that ?

address 192.168.1.200
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

maybe gateway should be 192.168.1.254

i''m guessing though

Quote from blacksx

here is my etc/network/interfaces folder and to me it all looks fine? but im baffled as to why i have nothing in my network connections folder, can you see anything wrong below mate?

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto lo
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.200 (Static Ip Addy of Server)
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1 (Default Gateway of Connection)

I have same problem......you won't see anything in the connection settings, God knows what the problem is but i got internet all the same!

Comparing your interfaces to mine i have made changes above!

Just double check that the settings are correct i.e (Static Ip, Gateway e.t.c you can find the network info by using another windows based pc and view details of your internet connection)

Hi i am having the same problem as soon as i add ip address in here i am unable to log in can some one give a hint on the order they have to be in and what you have to write in here
i feel so close but so far away i spent many hours trying get this to work but i wont give up thanks for a great forum and a great read

i have follow Tutorial - Ubuntu 12.04 64-Bit - Automated Oscam/CCcam 2.1.3 Install Package all loaded on a computer with a omnikey reader thanks

post you interface file mate found in etc/network/interfaces

but if connected via ethernet cable

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto lo
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.200 (Static Ip Addy )
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1 (Default Gateway of Connection)

Use this format just change for your details? you can find these by logging into your network detail on another PC! Go to connections and view details..all info for your network will be there apart from the Static Ip which you obviously change to the Server one in interfaces config

Thanks for a fast reply but i am still a little confused perhaps i am a little tired been playing with this since i got home from work 6 hours ago
Here the way i reading the settings
address 192.168.1.200 (Static Ip Addy ) is this my computers static ip address or my hub address
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255 or my computer static address or Hub IP Gateway Address
gateway 192.168.1.1 (Default Gateway of Connection)

This is what in there at the moment

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto lo
iface eth0 inet

omnikey reader to worker but thats another story but it a great hobby and i get there in the end

I'm sure your problem lies around this thread i started when i was a wee nipper in the game

http://linuxsat-support.com/li…-connecting-internet.html

Have a browse of that and see if anything pops up or look in Debian Wiki

NetworkConfiguration - Debian Wiki

If you can't get anywhere post back and i will do some digging tomorrow....im offski for tonight Buddy!

Hi thanks that last post it was spot on after reading this line
When i viewed properties for broadband and used that DNS it worked ok?
rebooted computer and it still all connected still cant get it on line but i feel i am getting close
i am working on getting my port open on a series 3 bt hub now once this is sorted i might of cracked it
thanks to all who helped and all the great posts and all what i read i no it would be no way of getting this working
with out there help i let you no when i get the ports open cheers

Looks like some are getting the gateway wrong, confusing the ifconfig command that returns broadcast = 192.168.1.255 with there actual gateway address.

route -n

Will show you the proper gateway.

BT Router

Simply log into the router

Go to advanced settings - Ip addresses and set lease to 21 days and apply.

Now click on Devices and you will see your server, click on it and simply choose

Always use this IP address: YES and save.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set Static IP

Ifconfig will show you current IP and route -n your gateway (bt router gateways are 192.168.1.254)

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100 (ip from ifconfig)
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.254

save and exit.

then

service networking restart (as root)
