static ip address

[chadr]

I just set up the pogo yesterday, 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?

I can always try setting something in the boot script, but I'm wondering why it doesn't work as shown in the rc.conf and the wiki.

What happens if you leave out the gateway and put in a dns entry?

[chadr]

Well, pogo would not boot and start the ip address. Why would dns come into play yet?

the wiki and rc.conf example are incorrect. It should be like this... works fine now.

# Static IP example
interface=eth0
address=192.168.1.150
netmask=24
gateway=192.168.1.1

I finally got mine to work by adding my preferred DNS servers to the /etc/resolv.conf file.

To do this edit /etc/resolv.conf
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'nano /etc/resolv.conf')

Add your DNS servers to the bottom of the file. For OpenDNS nameservers add:
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

Exit by pressing "Ctrl+X" and saving the file by answering "y" then pressing "Enter"
