Networking :: DHCP interfering

well i installed dsl werked fine , but in order for me to use the webmonkey server behind my router i need to give the machine a static ip ------but everytime i boot it up it does [backgrounding] on the dhcp ---- i did do the netcardconfig it works fine for that time -- but everytime i restart it it doesnt go online - but after i do the netcardconfig again -- with all teh same inputs - it werks --------BUt how do i make it static ip , i guess it what it boils down to?

V0.5

You can modify /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig to skip dhcp, the section is between 743 and 756. Just commenting out that section should do the trick.

If you have installed DSL to harddisk and ran netcardconfig once your settings are saved but not used during bootup. You can return to your previous settings by stopping and starting eth0. Try the following commands.

sudo ifdown eth0
sudo ifup eth0

works for me.

start an xterminal
write "sudo su" + return
start nedit from xterminal
load file "/etc/lilo.conf for editing.
find line : append="hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi.............

write "nodhcp" at the end of line.

My line:

append="hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi apm=power-off nomce nodhcp "

save lilo.conf
quit nedit
run lilo from xterminal.

Then it should work after next reboot.

Thats it !!

thx , alright dhcp disabled , now everytime i reboot it doesnt recognize that its online --- if i do "sudo ifup eth0 " it werks after that --- or i can do netcardconfig with same settings as before and after taht it willwerk-- but how do i get it to werk without doing that
