sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
* Reconfiguring network interfaces... RTNETLINK answers: No such process
SIOCDELRT: No such process
WARNING: ifup -a is disabled in favour of NetworkManager.
Set ifupdown:managed=false in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf.
So this is right at the least saying that my connection is being managed by Network-Manager
Then did this :-
sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart
* Stopping NetworkManager... [ OK ]
* Starting NetworkManager... [ OK ]
Network Manager also did not complain so looks good.
But when I right click on nm-applet and click on edit connection (nm-connections-editor)
for eth1 it still shows me the connection as a dhcp connection and both connect automatically and system settings are checked.
(Stumped here)
Another thing why is the dns-nameserver taken as 192.168.1.1 . From what I understand of dns-nameserver they are usually something at the ISP's end. For e.g. my ISP's dns name-servers are 61.1.96.69 , 61.1.96.71 or sometimes use OpenDNS 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 . This information should be there, shouldn't it.
Hi Alex,
so this would be right.
/etc/network/ interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auth eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameserver 192.168.1.1
Then tried this :-
sudo /etc/init. d/networking restart managed= false in /etc/NetworkMan ager/nm- system- settings. conf.
