Static IP configuration on BT3 in VMWare.

[..KG..]

Hello All,

I have set up BT3 on VMware disk with the help of Guides available here on the forums (Thanks, Xploitz).

However, I am unable to apply static configuration to the eth0. I have been following several suggestions provided by different members here in various How-To's and Articles; but this issue persists.

I have entered static IP to eth0 but when I ping to the default gw, I receive Destination Host Unreachable (DHU).

Just to ensure that dhcp services are not interfering with the process, I have disabled the VMWare Dhcp service as well as commented out the entries in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.

I have been looking into the forum posts for quite a while now, and finally am posting this.

In case this ain't a right place for this issue, kindly move it.

I recall using BT2 with Vmware got IP easily in the bridged mode. Please suggest what should I check in order to resolve this.

Thanks all for your efforts.

How can you issue yourself an IP if you disabled dhcp from vmware?

swc666,

I am attempting to assign static IP address to the eth0 interface in bt3. I wouldn't require a dhcp service for that. Also, I turned off the dhcp services only to verify if the issue is independent of them or not.

Please suggest.

what´s about ...
ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx eth0

I had tried serveral way´s too. Now I am using a script in
/root/.kde/Autostart/xxx

#!/bin/bash
ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0
