Can you attach your configs? Created attachment 132125 [details]
Configuration files for eth0
The problem does not seem to be inside the configuration file, the problem is that when you give the interface a nick like eth0Dynamic, the file gets the name ifcfg-eth0Dynamic, and dhclient-script is no longer able to find the configuration, because it looks for ifcfg-eth0, not ifcfg-eth0Dynamic. Hm, when was the last time this worked for you? It works for me, as long as the interface does not use DHCP. A static assignment works fine with a nick e.g. eth0Static. Sorry, that did not answer your question. It has never worked for me before, but works if the interface does not use DHCP. |
Description of problem: When setting a network interface (e.g., eth0) using system-config-network, if the nickname is different from the real device name, bringing up the interface fails. In the following, I have set the nickname to eth0Dynamic. Setting it to eth0 makes everything work: # service network start Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0Dynamic: Determining IP information for eth0.../sbin/dhclient-script: configuration for eth0 not found. Continuing with defaults. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions: line 51: eth0: No such file or directory /sbin/dhclient-script: configuration for eth0 not found. Continuing with defaults. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions: line 51: eth0: No such file or directory done. # service network stop Shutting down interface eth0Dynamic: /sbin/dhclient-script: configuration for eth0 not found. Continuing with defaults. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions: line 51: eth0: No such file or directory [ OK ] Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ] Disabling IPv4 packet forwarding: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0 [ OK ]
