System: I'm on a BT5r3 image atop of VMware Fusion 5 on OSX 10.7.4
I spin up the VM, login, run startx
, then hop in a terminal to run service networking start
. I have just one interface configured in to bridge to my wireless network, which I'm on.
As of last reboot, I keep getting the error network stop:waiting
when trying to run it. restart
and stop
don't help either. /etc/network/interfaces
is setup just fine and even bypassing it with ifup
errors:
$ ifup eth0
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Bind socket to interface: No such device
Failed to bring up eth0.
This has previously worked. Any recommendations on how to proceed?
Thanks, mjb
ifconfig -a
is showing eth4, 5 and 6. Does it make sense to edit /etc/network/interfaces to eth4 instead of 0? – mbb – 2012-11-04T22:30:38.367I reinstalled tools just in case... and then ran dhclient. Now I'm connected. Not sure why. Correct answer goes to whomever can explain what little logic there was in my actions. Cheers. – mbb – 2012-11-04T22:41:37.313
Just realizing I didn't give credit where it was due! Thanks for your help. – mbb – 2013-12-11T14:22:43.870
