          Hi I have encountered some very strange networking issues with the latest updates from Sid.
 
 
Essentially, even though I have removed everything DHCP related from my system that I can find, my Kanotix install has started serving me some very odd/nonsensical IP addresses.
 
 
Here is an example of what I have found: 
 
 
lan0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:13:8F:64:13:F3
 
          inet addr:169.254.150.23  Bcast:169.254.255.255  Mask:255.255.0.0
 
          inet6 addr: fe80::213:8fff:fe64:13f3/64 Scope:Link
 
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
 
          RX packets:276 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
 
          TX packets:1115 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
 
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
 
          RX bytes:58267 (56.9 KiB)  TX bytes:83671 (81.7 KiB)
 
          Interrupt:7 Base address:0x4800
 
 
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
 
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
 
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
 
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
 
          RX packets:512 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
 
          TX packets:512 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
 
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
 
          RX bytes:28544 (27.8 KiB)  TX bytes:28544 (27.8 KiB)
 
 
:~$ iwconfig
 
lo        no wireless extensions.
 
 
lan0      no wireless extensions.
 
 
firewire0  no wireless extensions.
 
 
sit0      no wireless extensions.
 
 
jebus197@linux1:~$ su
 
Password:
 
root@linux1:/home/jebus197# ifdown lan0 && ifup lan0
 
SIOCSIFADDR: File exists
 
Failed to bring up lan0.
 
 
root@linux1:/home/jebus197# ifdown lan0
 
ifdown: interface lan0 not configured
 
root@linux1:/home/jebus197 ifup lan0
 
root@linux1:/home/jebus197# 
 
 
However my /etc/network/interfaces file is set out as follows:
 
 
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup( , ifdown( 
 
 
# The loopback interface
 
# automatically added when upgrading
 
auto lo eth0 eth1 lan0
 
iface lo inet loopback
 
 
iface lan1 inet static
 
	address 192.168.1.107
 
	netmask 255.255.255.0
 
	network 192.168.1.0
 
	broadcast 192.168.1.255
 
	gateway 192.168.1.1
 
 wireless-mode Managed
 
 wireless_key s:********
 
 wireless-essid ********
 
 
iface lan0 inet static
 
	address 192.168.1.108
 
	netmask 255.255.255.0
 
	network 192.168.2.0
 
	broadcast 192.168.1.255
 
	gateway 192.168.1.1
 
 
To be clear I am not trying to set up wireless networking - wired networking is fine in this instance..
 
 
As you can see from the above if I start and stop the network via ifdonw and ifup it will give me a proper IP address.
 
 
However I am not even sure that my system is capable of supporting the random type addresses, as as far as I'm aware they are not even in the range of what my router is capable of.
 
 
Can anyone suggest what might be going on? |

maybe the network address causes a problem? |

          Yeah I spotted that too and I changed it. I take it you mean the "2" in "192.168.2.0"?
 
 
Unfortunately even after changing this to 192.168.1.0, it is still serving me up the same very strange addresses.
 
 
I am not even sure my router is capable of serving addresses like this, so where the system is getting them is a mystery. |

Yeas, I meant this "2".
 
 
I have no further ideas how to solve this problem. My feeling (I have no proof for that) is, that because the problem came with an upgrade, you shouldn't look only to /etc/network/interfaces, but also have look on the used modules. |
