Had to hard code ENET adapter, now I can't update because I can't get an internet connection
-
@TTellez My link was to help show you how you could setup a “secondary” virtual nic that could be configured to get on the main network so you could perform the update.
-
This would leave the originally hard coded information there and available, while only altering the network you’re on so the virtual network would take over for subsequent updates/upgrades.
-
@Tom-Elliott gotcha. Ill try it with my remedial linux skills. LOL.
-
@TTellez If you need help, we’re here to do what we can. The link should be pretty informative at least. Of course you will likely need to be in elevated permissions (
sudo -i) -
@Tom-Elliott So I literally just
ifconfig eth0:0 123.123.22.22
then when I am done# ifconfig eth0:0 downAnd my original connection stays as is?
-
@TTellez well you would replace eth0:0 with the relevant interface name, in your case
eno1:0 -
@Tom-Elliott of course. I knew that one.
thankstrying now.
-
@TTellez You may need to add the route for that interface as well, more than just setting the ip itself. It needs to know how to get to the endpoint of course.
I think you can do that with:
route add default gw <123.123.22.22 valid gateway> eno1:0(not 100% on the syntax sorry) -
Still no network connection. trying the gateway addition now.
-
Once that’s done, the last part would be to look at dns (assuming you’re testing by pinging a domain name).
You would need to edit /etc/resolv.conf and add a proper dns server.
Something to the likes of making it read as:
nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 4.2.2.4 nameserver <internal dns if needed> search <domain.com if needed> -
None of this is working. So I will just continue to use it with the current version that is installed (1.3.5). Thanks for your help.
