vincent Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Why is this and what do i need to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted December 18, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 18, 2008 How are you setting it? Right from the ifconfig command? If so, your configuration may still be set to grab the info dynamically via DHCP. When you set it manually, does it remain for the duration of your session, only to return to DHCP on reboot?

vincent Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 How are you setting it? Right from the ifconfig command? Via the gui, clicking on the networkmanager icon... If so, your configuration may still be set to grab the info dynamically via DHCP.When you set it manually, does it remain for the duration of your session, only to return to DHCP on reboot? Yes. I'll try the ifconfig method, didn't think of doing so at the time. Will keep you updated Mark, thanks man (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomZ Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Can't you input the proxy settings in firefox preferences? EDIT: Actually judging by that "tutorial" you followed, you probably wont have a default gateway you need an extra line in the interfaces file specyfying the gateway gateway 192.168.1.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted December 18, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 18, 2008 Well, an ugly solution may be to alias it. Create an alias static IP address attached to your eth0 (?) card. For example, sudo ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.199 See more here: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/IP-Alias.html#COMMANDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PricklyPoo Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Ya, seems odd that they haven't patched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
