Hey all,

Just found Turnkey Linux and it seems like it’s exactly what I need. Problem is... I am unable to configure or connect with my network. I have done some googling already and am pretty much having the exact same issue as this person.

I have a Dell 2950 Power Edge server with two NIC's. I first used ConfConsole to set a static IP on my network. Everything took except for my default gateway. It says none and when I go back to edit it, within ConfConsole, it is blank. Same thing no matter how many times I set it or which NIC I use. 

When I check ect/network/interfaces it displays correctly, see below. However, I cannot ping anything on my network from my Turnkey server and vice versa. I tried changing which NIC has the static set, setting a static on both NIC's, and setting both/one to DHCP. When DHCP is enabled it says...

udhcp (v1.20.2) started
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
Sending discover...
udhcp: sendto: Network is down
Read error: Network is down, reopning socket
Sending discover...
udhcp: sendto: Network is down
Read error: Network is down, reopning socket
Sending discover...
udhcp: sendto: Network is down
Read error: Network is down, reopning socket
/etc/udhcp/default.script: Lease failed:
No lease, failing

I am able to ping the static address on the server and it will reply back. When I run ifup eth0 it returns RTNETLINK answers: File exists Failed to bring up eth0.

I found a post before saying that drivers might be the issue, however, it is detecing both interfaces. I can reinstall them but have never done that before.

# UNCONFIGURED INTERFACES
# remove the above line if you edit this file

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
     address 192.168.0.7
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     gateway 192.168.0.1
     dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

Thank you for looking.
