Bug#100357: I got the gateway wrong first time, reconfigure net didn't help
Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A; reported 2001-06-09
Severity: normal
Tags: woody
This is current cvs boot-floppies.
The first time I configured the network I gave the wrong gateway. (I have
a 192.168 network with a gateway doing NAT (ipmasq))
# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
I meant for the gateway to be 192.168.0.20.
I went through the network configuration step again and network was still
broken:
# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.20 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Oops, I don't know what the kernel is supposed to do when there are two
gateways, but the anything outside the 192.168 was dead, no response.
To fix I did a :
# ifconfig eth0 down
Then went through the network configuration again, all was good after that.
