I have DSL 1.1 installed.I am a noobie but have a little knowledge about linux. I have no problem connecting to internet as long as i run -- netcarcconfig each time i boot into DSL. I have been looking around to find an automated solution but nothing works. I have looked up manpages of ifconfig, route and other commands but am thoroughly confused 1. How can i automate at boottime the netcard config or ifconfig. 2. Where do i put the script. i have tried scripting netcardconfig but dosent work. Here is my static ip specs
Any scripts,websites or help is appreciated. P.S. Dont ask if my card isnt working as it is.... and NO I cant/wont use DCHP for security and other networking aspects. SORRY Thank You Dan Posted by hawki on June 09 2005,02:09
HiI use one DSL system as a gateway/firewall. It has to have the same address every time I boot. To do that I booted with the nodhcp option. I used Netcardconfig to set up my ethernet card and got everthing working. Then I saved the config for the next boot by doing the following. Add the following lines to the file named /home/dsl/filetool.lst opt/bootlocal.sh etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 etc/network/interfaces Then added the following line to /opt/bootlocal.sh ifup eth0 The last thing is to configure the backup/restore location using the DSL control panel. Now I boot a frugal install with the nodhcp option and the configuration is restored and the interface started every time. I hope this makes sense and good luck. Posted by hawki on June 09 2005,12:50
HiI just thought of something else. If you are using static dns addresses you may have to add the following line to /home/dsl/filetool.lst /etc/resolv.conf That should backup/restore the nameserver addresses. good luck Posted by b1ackmai1er on June 19 2005,09:17
Hi. That works great and was exactly what I was looking for, exceptthe /etc/resolv.conf step does not get restored. Any suggestions for that? regards b1m1 Posted by ke4nt1 on June 19 2005,11:17
just add it to your /opt/bootlocal.sh as well ..Here's an example I use on a static connected server. ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy route add default gw zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz echo nameserver aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa > /etc/resolv.conf echo nameserver bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb >> /etc/resolv.conf ifup eth0 you could also map your nic address in your router config, then still use DHCP on your lan, AND have a static IP. 73 ke4nt Posted by hawki on June 20 2005,15:09
Hi againIt really looks to me like putting /etc/resolv.conf in the filetool.lst file should backup/restore your nameserver addresses. 1. After you run the netcardconfig script are the addresses listed in /etc/resolv.conf? 2. After you reboot are they still there? Maybe it's a timing problem with what happens first. good luck Posted by b1ackmai1er on June 20 2005,16:29
@hawkiWould it be that it is not working because the /etc/resolv.conf file is a symbolic link to /knoppix/etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf? i will try putting that in my filetool.lst @ke4nt Thanks I understand that. Will give it a try regards b1m1 Posted by b1ackmai1er on June 20 2005,16:38
@hawki @ke4nt1Thankyou. Changing it from/etc/resolv.conf to etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf fixed it. DNS is now restored on bootup. Regards b1m1 Edit: typed filename wrong. now correct Posted by iluntasun on June 30 2005,18:45
wow, this thread is worth a how-to! Now... how could I make DSL run with the nodhcp option by default?

I am sure this worked in v1.1, but i damn well cant get it to work in 1.21.ifup eth0 gives an error - cant find interface now. running the netcard script works every time. if I type ifup eth0 after running the script it says file exists, so we must be missing something. All the files seem to get restored fine... there must be something we are missing... regards b1m1 Posted by ke4nt1 on July 09 2005,23:17
iluntasun,There are many ways to make "nodhcp" a default at boottime. What type of DSL are you running? ( HDinstall, frugal, LiveCD, Pendrive ) Each has it's own way of setting options.. 73 ke4nt Posted by juan on July 13 2005,00:51

Posted by iluntasun on Aug. 18 2005,18:35
