Might sound new and stupid, but: a. when i edit /etc/network/interfaces and change the ip, then run ifconfig after /etc/init.d/networking restart, the IP on ifconfig doesn't change, also b. I tried using the Gnome network manager to change DNS, and after I change the values and hit "ok" I go vi /etc/resolv.conf and the values are not changed, though I'm root. What really stupid thing am I missing, this is how I always did it in Sarge. Thanks, Cameron San Diego
when I use either the gnome manager or vi /etc/network/interfaces it changes the values, but then when I /etc/init.d/networking restart, then run ifconfig, my IP doesn't match what I just edited in /etc/network/interfaces. But then after I reboot and run ifconfig the ip is correct. Could this be related to SELinux somehow?
What I found is that running /etc/init.d/networking restart didn't really work, but it does work if you use: ifdown eth0 then ifup eth0
