[Erp5-users] LiveCD: How-to make network configuration persistent / config.xml

[david atlan (PHENO)]

Hi,

Sorry to pick up a thread more than a week old, I was stuck doing a few  
other things and finally managed to try out modifying the config.xml in  
following way:

  <connection_type>dhcp</connection_type> <!-- static or dhcp -->
  <network_device>eth0</network_device>

  <ip_address>192.168.242.2</ip_address>
  <netmask>255.255.255.0</netmask>
  <network_address>192.168.242.0</network_address>
  <broadcast_address>192.168.242.255</broadcast_address>
  <gateway>192.168.242.254</gateway>
  <nameservers>192.168.242.254</nameservers> <!-- separated by spaces-->

in a first trial, I suppressed the  
ip_address,netmask,network_address,broadcast_address,gateway and  
nameservers lines and in a second trial I put the numbers given by the  
dhcp. The connection type was set to dhcp.

Both config.xml in /mnt/erp5_cd and /root where modified and
/etc/init.d/erp5cdtool restart
was launched.

When I reboot the machine, I still don't get the PC to connect to the  
Internet (launching dhclient eth0 works), although the config files still  
show my modifications. What am I missing?

Thanks and enjoy the weekend,
david
