Just wondering if anyone could help I have a debian image updated to sarge.

cheers caker, I take it for all the other ip's it would be the same but no need for the default gateway? ie Code: iface eth0 inet static |

Looks to me like you just repeat the whole deal, but use "eth0:1" (and so on) for each IP: http://www.justenoughlinux.com/2003/12/ ... esses.html -Chris Code: /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) -Chris |

Tried it and couldnt connect to the box after configuring all 5 ip's submitted a support request to see if u could get it working. Cant really use the dhcp client as when i try to run an eggdrop it doesnt recognise the other ips so stuck with 1 vhost |

Connect via Lish and you'll be able to fix it. ssh username@hostxx.linode.com -Chris |

I think that Caker can double-check to make sure that on the host end, the IPs are assigned and set up correctly, but I think that on your Linode's end, the configuration is up to you. Linode doesn't offer support for Linux configuration of your Linode itself, although as you can see, Caker does sometimes have the time to try help out. I'm just posting this so that you know what to expect. Some people have complained on the forums that they have not received timely response to their support tickets when their support tickets were for issues that Linode doesn't actually provide support for such as configuration of Linodes themselves. Your best bet would be to use the traditional avenues of support for Linux networking problems, including the internet at large and its abundant set of howtos, faqs, usegroups, and other documentation. I don't know exactly what's wrong with your IP configuration but I'll bet the answer is out there somewhere. BTW Caker's suggestion that you should lish into your Linode to fix the network was just so that you know that even when your Linode's networking is screwed up you can always get in via console using lish. Best of luck, Bryan |

BTW I think that as far as these forums go, your best bet will be to find a Linode customer who has multiple IPs set up and see an example of their configuration files. If you search these groups you should find some discussion of this as I know it's been asked about before. I would show you my config but I only have a single IP so it wouldn't help you very much. |

Arkaos, Post your /etc/network/interfaces and we will have a look at it. |

hi, just wanted to add that if you are on Mandrake (I'm on 9.1 but not sure whether it works on the Mandriva stock now) you might want to try the following to bring the new ip up automatically on bootup by doing the following to a certain run-level script: cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0:1 (edit the copy which will serve as a reference) vi ifcfg-eth0:1 (and type the following into the file) DEVICE=eth0:1 #BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=xx.xx.xx.xx NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes I've commented out the BOOTPROTO and not sure whether that is a good thing. now reboot and your new ip should be up. You might want to call the lish shell to see the boot-up sequence and see whether processes are up and running. (just ssh yourregisteredname@hostxy.linode.com replace xy with the number from the linode.com LPM console). If /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ does not seem right for your mandrake dist then you might want to grok into /etc/rc.d/init.d or for some of you /etc/init.d and find the network shell executable. It will clue you in to that particular directory where ifcfg or ifconfig definitions are stored, then add into that file like the above. The following links are helpful too. http://www.linode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=159 (this is useful to set up another ip that you bought) http://www.nacs.uci.edu/~iglesias/multiboot-linux.html (i like the way he boots up different network setups like for work, home and wireless contexts) http://www.itworld.com/Open/4877/lw-01-geek_1/ (explains run-levels and why you can't just plug in a ifconfig eth0:1 xx.xx.xx.xx netmask 255.255.255.0 up into one of those startup scripts and expect it to work the first time) maven |
