[coLinux-users] MAC Address with Slirp

[May, D. <da...@mo...>]

Hi,=20

I have just set-up colinux for the first time and its up and I'm able to
run X apps via cygwinx. However I have a problem with the MAC address
that is being set when I use Slirp. I do not seem to be able to set it
and it automatic sets one which is random and different every time I
start. The problem being that I have software that is fixed to the MAC
address of the hard wired MAC address. I could get another license but I
can't keep changing it. I have tried taking the eth0 down and changing
the MAC address but on coming back up it changes it back to the random
one at set-up. Has anyone any ideas how I can get the MAC address
changed in colinx. Here is my start up :=20
=20
colinux-daemon kernel=3Dvmlinux cofs0=3Dc:\ ^=20
cobd0=3D"c:\coLinux\Debian-3.0r2.ext3-mit-backports.1gb" ^=20
cobd1=3D"c:\coLinux\swap_device" ^=20
mem=3D128 ^=20
eth0=3Dslirp,00:12:F0:76:09:1E,tcp:2222:22/tcp:8080:80 ^=20
root=3D/dev/cobd0 -t nt=20

The MAC address is ignored at start up and a random is set,=20

Many Thanks

Setting the MAC address works fine for me, I'm using coLinux 0.7.1 .

How do you start coLinux?  I use: "F:\coLinux\colinux-daemon.exe -t nt
@default.conf" in a Windows shortcut, also notice that "-t nt" goes there=
, not
in your root line.

What are those " ^" characters at the end of lines?  Perhaps you have gar=
bage
(i.e. CR) at the end.

And please don't cross-post, if you want help this is the correct list, d=
on't
use the developer's list.

MAC for slirp is only usable in builds after date 2006-12-12.

it is better for you, to put all the lines without the cracked at the 
end into a file "colinux.conf", and call
colinux-daemon colinux.conf @colinux.conf
