[solved] a little problem with lan
  • arobotarobot July 2010
    i have installed and upgraded slitaz with my "powerful" desktop pc's virtualbox (because when i use the packet manager the cpu goes everytime to 100% for 10 seconds ...and with the desktop is a little better), then i move the vdi image from my desktop's virtualbox to my netbook's virtualbox, and i found that the lan didn't works, why? change of mac address? it's the only difference between the 2 virtualbox...anyway...the problems are:
    the network status monitor is fixed on eth0, it doesn't see that eth0 doesn't exist but exist only eth1, and if i change it, when i restart pc it returns to eth0...
    i open the slitaz network manager and in "connection" i have 2 interfaces; one is called "lo" type "loopback" (i don't know what is it)...but i found that the ethernet connection is changed from eth0 to eth1...and is not connected to the lan.
    now, if i want to use internet, i have to change the interface name in "dhcp" and in "static ip" from eth0 to eth1 and click START in both dhcp and in static ip...(for me is a non-sense, the ip or is fixed or is dinamic with dhcp, but i'm too noob)
    i have to do this every time, i think is a little bug, do you know what i have to do to resolve this little problem?

    Just one idea: try checking you have the same network card and MAC on both of the virtual machine settings.

    the problem is that now it doesn't work, i have to modify it manually everytime.
    how i can associate my actual lancard to eth0? which file i have to modify?

    Here are 2 possible solutions:
    1. Ernia made a script so he could move a tazusb key to different computers and it would auto assign the new network card as eth0.

    2. Make a 2nd network configuration for the second network card as described here:

    3° easy and noob solution is to open etc/network.conf and replace eth0 with the used one, for me eth1
