Hi, you should've probably post this in ArchPup 12.12 topic, but anyway what is output
when you run ifconfig in terminal.

by mistake I have posted separate thread. Please pardon me.

Back to issue : While typing ifconfig, I am getting following

eth0 : flgas:4163<up, broadcast, Running, Multicast mtu 1500
inet 200.200.201.191, netmask 255.255.255.0, broadcast 200.200.201.255
etc, etc,

My actual ip is 200.200.200.86, mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 200.200.200.1
and name server address

Try with instructions in this page http://linux-ip.net/html/basic-changing.html

Code: Select all

ifconfig eth0 down
Then follow Example 1.7. Bringing up an Ethernet interface with ifconfig. Good luck
Edit: before that also type ifconfig lo up, maybe that will help.
