Hello,
I have just upgraded my server PC which is a Pentium
III 1 ghz to Sarge. The machine is used as a
router/firewall for 2 other computers. The problem
that I'm having is I installed etherconf to configure
eth0 used for the router and now it changes the name
to minikerr.minikerr everytime I boot. I go back and
change it through the <hostname> command but it still
resets itself after a reboot...
Also, etherconf never setup my eth0 right so I
eventually removed it via <aptitude> and configured it
manually through ifconfig. THe problem is that when I
boot it configures both ethernet adapters for DHCP and
my home network uses static addresses. It did the
same thing w/etherconf installed... :(
My 2nd ethernet adapter is for the cable modem using
DHCP so no problems there... If anyone can help me
out I would be very appreciative!!!
Thanks in advance...
John
Hi
To change the hostname run base-config or change the following files
manually:
/etc/hostname
/etc/mailname
/etc/hosts
I have never used etherconf but I think you will be able to solve tyour
problem by editing /ec/network/interfaces
You will find a line looking something like this:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
change that to:
iface eth0 inet static
