set static ip / manually ip / disable dhcp

[Florian E]

Hei guys,

i'm trying to set a different network adress to my eth0 interface using

ifconfig eth0 192.168.5.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

route add default gw 192.168.5.1 dev eth0

in older versions i also did:

dhcpcd -k eth0

but that isnt used anymore.

sadly i'm not getting anything to work.

ip addr shows me the correct ip but i cannot ping the device

also trying to ping another pc in the same network gives me "connect: Network is unreachable" error.

i also found the EthernetConfigStore which is trying to read /misc/ethernet/ipconfig.txt - does that work? how is the format looking?

any ideas? do i need to disable dhcp?

thanks

That makes no sense.

You're telling your machine that its own IP address is 192.168.5.1, and the
gateway router to find the rest of the Internet is also 192.168.5.1

Try changing the first address to 192.168.5.2 (assuming that 192.168.5.1 really
*is* your router to the Internet - if not, change that to the correct value
instead).

sorry that was a typo 

im using

 ifconfig eth0 192.168.5.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 

of course.

but still - no change to get int working

I now managed to get it working in one direction:

https://de.osdn.net/projects/android-x86/ticket/37447

but trying to ping the android device does still not work

[Florian E]

One step further i stopped netd using "stop netd" and set the ip address afterwards.

now the normal ping from the android machine is working - but not the other way arround.

for now i still can't ping the android machine or use ADB.

[Florian E]

So i could figure it out myself.

for static ip i now use:

stop netd

ifconfig eth0 192.168.5.10 netmask 255.255.255.0

ip rule add from all lookup main pref 0

now i can work from both sides with the static ip address.
