My registrar requires two dns servers on two different IP addresses, but i only wanted to use one machine for now. The machine has two NICs that connect out through the same cable modem.

The interfaces would come up, the point was that that system-config-network would not keep the static information for the two NICs after a reboot. So when the machine was rebooted, some part of IP, SM, GW, NS disappeared or reverted back to DHCP even though it was explicitly set to static. I was using CentOS 5.0 / 5.1 when i had most problems. No entries would have appeared in the logs. I modified ifup-route to add logging to it directly and believe it was never called. Maybe i will have to upgrade the machine so i can run both the TUI and GUI more and monitor all files changed by both. Further, i turned off NetworkManager to get much further in keeping static ip setup. Couldn't tell you much about why seLinux may have caused problems except that maybe there were mdac labels on files that broke some part of system-config-network keeping static routes and dns servers. I just remember that uninstalling seLinux got me much much further on a different machine when it came to static settings for multiple NICs. Much Further. > > Regards, > Filipe > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
