[PLUG] networking question
|
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Background:
Installing OpenSuSE 11.3 guest in Virtualbox 3.2.8 on an Ubuntu 10.4 host.
+ Selected Gnome desktop
+ Network configured in the setup process as:
static IP 10.10.10.179
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.10.10.1
+ Install appeared to complete without a hitch.
Now, I can see any address in the 10.10.10.0 space but cannot see anything on
the Internet. For example:
# ping www.google.com
connect: Network is unreachable
So, I look in more detail:
# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.10.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
Where is the default route?
I can fix it by entering: route add default gw 10.10.10.1
Apparently, the OpenSuSE installer just set up the static IP
and routing and somehow I missed how to tell it about a default route (right).
I set NETWORKMANAGER="yes" in the config file, restarting the network, and
configuring AUTO eth0 in the GUI. There is still no default route.
The Network Manager route option does not seem to stick.
Any idea how to permanently fix this?
Thanks,
Eric
