Dear All:
Thank Lee Bradshaw & Hugo van der Merwe reply my questions so quickly,
after taking a look at both files " /etc/init.d/network "
and " /etc/pcmcia/network.opts ", I still have the same questions about the IPs:
1. In my " /etc/init.d/network " simply has two entries :
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0
2. In my " /etc/pcmcia/network.opts " has following information :
case "$ADDRESS" in
*,*,*,*)
IF_PORT="auto"
# Use BOOTP [y/n]
BOOTP="n"
IPADDR="192.168.1.2"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
NETWORK="192.168.1.0"
BROADCAST="192.168.100.255"
GATEWAY="192.168.1.254"
DOMAIN="birdynest.com.tw"
DNS_1="192.168.1.1"
;;
esac
Well, I do use Lap-top to install Debian 2.1, since the first time
installation, I only use one network pc-card, and assign it an IP
address for my home-network, but now I insert the 2nd network pc-card to
simulate an router ( sure I re-compile it as an router ). As soon
as I rebooting the Linux, then I found both eth0, eth1 use the same IP (
192.168.1.2 witch assigned from the beginning ), at the same
time, I put this Linux router into a different network environment which have
totally different subnet from the original home-network, one is
eth0 192.168.2.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 ---> 192.168.2.0/24 another eth1
192.168.3.253 netmask 255.255.255.0 ---> 192.168.3.0/24 , and given this router
a default route "0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 192.168.3.254 :
|--------------------192.168.2.254 | Linux
|192.168.3.253--------------------192.168.3.254|
in order to change IPs to the different NICs, and modify its routing table, I
issue following command:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.254 broadcast ....... netmask .......
route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask ...... eth0
ifconfig eth1 192.168.3.253 broadcast ....... netmask .......
route add -net 192.168.3.0 netmask ...... eth0
route add default gw 192.168.3.254
of cause it will lost when the Linux have to reboot, so, should I modify the
/etc/init.d/network via inserting these commands or what to do
with the /etc/pcmcia/network.opts ? which file is actually referenced during
booting processes, or, overwrite the configuration after
booting completely ?
Finally, those information, such like hostname, domain name, dns, .....
etc., which files should to be modified ?
Thanks !
