eth0 won't get in dhcp

#1 Post by Swordmaster »

I've got the following in my /etc/network/interfaces:
  • auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

    auto eth0
    iface etho inet dhcp
The output of # ifconfig eth0 says that eth0 has the IP:10.0.0.8
This is imposible because I have no LAN the PC is directly connected to the internet.
I know the IP should start with 82.199.....
I'm I forgetting something or is something wierd going on?
Can some on help me please?

Regards

It is possible that your ISP maintains an 'inner' network among the subscribers, from which they can see the 'real' internet through some gateway which belongs to the ISP. It not a rare situation, so probably that is the case here.
If you can see the internet as you supposed to, then you don't need to worry about that. I bet if you see a page which displays your 'real' IP, you'll see that from the internet you aren't seen as 10.0.0.8.

The problem is that I'm not online with this particular PC.
and this accured after I installed xserver-xfree with apt-get (with FTP)
Now I want to install fluxbox with apt-get and I run into this problem.
So I asume that something went wrong during the installation of the xserver.

Can you tell me how I can put it back on DHCP?

Sorry my mistake!

I've reseted my server and I get IP:10.0.01 so I think I've got a problem with my speedtouch 510i router.
If I have figured it out I wil post the solution here.

Thanks anyway!

Speedtouch router? Aren't you "directly connected" to the internet then, are you? If you have a router, it will assign "inner" addresses to the computers behind it, this is normal. You should see the internet, though...
