Your command above is weird. If you want a static IP you have to change |
| 23 |
your /etc/conf.d/net file and edit. Then, you could take dhcp out of the |
| 24 |
run levels since with a static IP you won't need it. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Then, if you have a router, change it from providing dhcp to NO. |

Here's my net file fwiw. Info comment lines stripped. I leave in the old |
| 29 |
dhcp commands |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
iface_eth0="192.168.2.100 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
#iface_eth0="dhcp" |
| 34 |
#dhcpcd_eth0="-N" |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
# For setting the default gateway |
| 37 |
# |
| 38 |
gateway="eth0/192.168.2.1" |
| 39 |

This last part is important. Your PC has to find the gateway. My router is |
| 41 |
at the above address. You might also have to add the gateway address to |
| 42 |
/etc/resolv.conf as the nameserver otherwise you might lose internet and |
| 43 |
network connections. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Be sure to copy the resolv.conf file first to make sure you don't lose |
| 46 |
other important settings. |

Good luck. Works fine for me :) |
