[coLinux-users] Starting internet on colinux

[Vedang - 1. u|3. h. <ved...@gm...>]

Hi,
I am running colinux (version 0.8.0) with a debian image on linux
kernel 2.6.15 (guest and host).
Can somebody please tell how to start internet on colinux? I passed
boot parameter eth0=slirp

ifconfig gives network address : 192.168.0.40 for eth0 which is statically set.

Solaris is simple. It takes a genius to understand it's simplicity.

realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

Be carefully with kernel 2.6.15 as guest. This have only backports. Some
functions are not full implemented, as they are in kernel 2.6.22

http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/Network#Reconfigure_Network_Interface_On_the_Fly

With this commands you "Reconfigure Network Interface On the Fly":
# ifconfig eth0 10.0.2.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.2.255
# route add default gw 10.0.2.2
# echo "nameserver 10.0.2.3" > /etc/resolv.conf

To set the config permanently follow the "Example: Typical Slirp
Configuration" in http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/Network#Debian and write
into file /etc/network/interfaces:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
  address 10.0.2.15
  network 10.0.2.0
  broadcast 10.0.2.255
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  gateway 10.0.2.2
