Network in rc.conf

Not on the faulty dockstar.
I know it boots, logs are wrote to, and pogo os has same trouble, will have to plug in serial (suspect mac address change)

Back to the original rc.conf question, the examples do not cover static very well, had to look at the script to see what it wanted, miss the netmask and it assumes /24
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='whatever'
INTERFACE='eth1'
IP='static'
ADDR='aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd'
NETMASK='255.255.248.0'
GATEWAY='94.194.200.1'
DNS=('87.194.255.154')
')

I just set up the pogo today, but didn't have success with setting the static ip in rc.conf

#
# Static IP example
interface=eth0
address=192.168.1.150
netmask=255.255.255.0
gateway=192.168.1.1

this doesn't work for me, so I had to reboot with the usb connected and edit the file back to dhcp. What else is needed to make static ip work?

The netmask should be 24 (no slash) instead of 255.255.255.0. This is what worked for me. The example in rc.conf needs an update.

Glad it worked for you. We don't write the examples, the files, or the way it should be done. We're a downstream architecture derivative of Arch Linux, not actually Arch Linux.

The way the example is set up does in fact work. I have created numerous installations since the change, adjusting only for my network. Even the old style of static IP addressing works.
