Problem with network.

[taronsargsyan]

Hi

My problem is listed below:

I have two internal network adapters and during configuration from web interface I have set the ip address for both interfaces from the same network and now my servers network want be up.

I have stopped zentyal and changed /etc/network/interfaces and restarted networking and I'm able to connect to server, but the problem is when i start zentyal again it puts wrong ip back and restarts networking and I'm loosing server.

Could someone tell me where I can reset network module configuration ?

this i urgent please help !

thanks in advance

Hello,

wich type of network are connected to this 2 network adapters? Internal or External ?

Generally you have to set different subnet (es. 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24 ) to each interface.

Please post the results of "ifconfig" from your administrator terminal there ,

As you can see eth2 and eth0 has the ip address from the same network this is making network crazy and any change to /etc/network/interface being overriden by ebox modules.

any suggestions?

Thanks

Is eth1 your external router? Have you setup it on " Network -> Gateways " ?

You can can go to " Network -> Interfaces " and change eth0 && eth2 to "Not Set" , after that save all.

Now set up back eth0 and assign it a static IP like 192.168.1.1, do the same for eth2 and set a static ip like 192.168.2.1 ( the important thing is that you use DIFFERENT subnet ).

I hope that can help you,

HI Lorenzo,

no my external router is eth0, eth1 is internal too, the problem is that when I start ebox from init.d I'm unable to connect to gui, I need to find out from where i can change config manually.

Thanks

Start ebox and then do a sudo ifdown eth2 from the command line (CTL+ALT+F1) should allow you to break the deadlock. You should then be able to log in to the web interface to fix things.  Alternatively you could start ebox, edit the interfaces file and issue a /etc/init.d/networking  restart (same result, different approach)

EDIT:   Of course sometimes I over think things, just unplug the network cable from the mis-set interface.  (smacks self in head for missing the obvious the first time)
