NM does not rely on /etc/resolv.conf, it creates it's own /etc/resolv.conf for the sake of compatibility of other software using that file. NM uses gconf to store it's values other than the usual configurations in /etc.</p> <p>DHCP servers does not limit you from using static IPs, provided that the IP you assigned statically is still available and not used by other hosts. </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/any-ideas-on-how-to-setup-static-ip#post-244 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:46:09 +0000 agi 244@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>hi fplolz,</p> <p>i think you should try and sort out want you really want. the manual configs on the rc.d (including the the dhcp option) are usually best for servers where you need the connection before a user logs in or for connections you want to be available for everyone else who will login on the computer. you have two options here, the basic network service or the profiled network service.</p> <p>network manager and wicd settings take effect after a user logged on the gui, so the implication you have to watch for are unreachable services (like ssh).</p> <p>from my experience with networkmanager is that even if you set rc.conf configurations on an interface, it will muck them up leaving the routing screwed up. and on what i'm reading about wicd, it shouldn't :-) that might give you the best configuration you're after, static info for wired connections on rc.conf and dynamic info for wireless connections on wicd. </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/any-ideas-on-how-to-setup-static-ip#post-242 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 12:01:34 +0000 fplolz 242@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>okay thanks joel (:</p> <p>will try it out..</p> <p>hm..could i ask a few more things? i have moved to wicd ..is it good enough to say that by setting static ip to my connection in wicd , i would be using static ip?</p> <p>i was also wondering , as my router by default and is using dhcp , would that affect my settins? </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/any-ideas-on-how-to-setup-static-ip#post-240 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 07:25:11 +0000 joelbryan 240@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>Hi fplolz,</p> <p>in your rc.conf, disable networkmanager on the DAEMONS by appending exclamation point (ie. !networkmanager) and enable the interface by removing the exclamation point from the INTERFACES (ie. !eth0).</p> <p>You can also do the following, but it would not be saved on your restart.</p> <p>$ ifconfig eth0 202.156.10.239<br /> $ route add default gw &lt;your gateway IP here&gt;</p> <p>Hope this helps. </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/any-ideas-on-how-to-setup-static-ip#post-239 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:40:28 +0000 fplolz 239@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>hi guys :D</p> <p>from what i know , place the static ip into the rc.conf<br /> eth0="eth0 202.156.10.239 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"</p> <p>yea thats what i did ...unfortunately , my ip still changes -.-<br /> i wonder if it was anything to do with network manager or my wt54g linksys router</p> <p>does anyone have any idea to help out ? :x<br /> trying out wicd now.. </p>
