Hi Thanks for this nice work. However, I'm having a problem. After installing Ubuntu server 10.04 and configuring the network (point 7, page 3, http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.04-lucid-lynx-ispconfig-3-p3) I cannot move further vi /etc/network/interfaces and than # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1 /etc/init.d/networking restart Nothing happens... How do I move further and get out of the network configuration window? Best regards! Alf71
Are you sure that these are the correct network settings for your network? What's your router's internal IP address?
IP address Hi IPv4-Adresse . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.100(Bevorzugt) Subnetzmaske . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Lease erhalten. . . . . . . . . . : Sonntag, 10.

How do I move further and get out of this network configuration window? "/etc/init.d/networking restart" didn't work: "Point 7 Configure The Network Because the Ubuntu installer has configured our system to get its network settings via DHCP, we have to change that now because a server should have a static IP address. Edit /etc/network/interfaces and adjust it to your needs (in this example setup I will use the IP address 192.168.0.100): vi /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1 Then restart your network: /etc/init.d/networking restart" Best regards
Thanks - Ubuntu x Virtual Box x Windows x Networking It works One more question: Today I installed the new Ubuntu Server 10.10 in my PC, running the latest version of VirtualBox on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I was curious to find if it is possible to access the server from outside: WORLD => INTERNET => ROUTER => PC => VIRTUAL PC => SERVER Quite confusing all this: NETWORK So, first of all, I need to get a DDNS name. I already have it: server.athome.com It is pointed to a dynamic IP address, for example "0.0.0.0" My router gateway works on 192.168.0.1 and my PC has a reserved static IP, say 192.168.0.155 I cannot get through from outside of the network, to access my PC, so I thought, if I install UBUNTU SERVER 10.10 in a VirtualBox on it, I will be able to do it... After installing my Ubuntu in VirtualBox, I tried to follow this part: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.10-maverick-meerkat-ispconfig-3-p3 vi /etc/network/interfaces i auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.56.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.56.101 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.56.1 ESC :x /etc/init.d/networking restart vi /etc/hosts i 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.1 CRAZY-PC.server.athome.com CRAZY-PC # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters I think I need to change first the value 192.168.56.1 to 192.168.56.100 but I'm getting a READ ONLY WARNING... And before it didn't work at all at: aptitude update Any hint? Best regards Alf71
