Feilix, Thanks for responding. I don't any instructions in your post. George... Initially there's no ipv4 for eth0. Setting manually and trying to use the result is shown in the following snippit: fc34-bash 5.0 ~# ifconfig eth0 eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 54:04:a6:10:61:87 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 7590 bytes 455400 (444.7 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 fc34-bash 5.0 ~# export interface=eth0 fc34-bash 5.0 ~# ifconfig "$interface" 10.28.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 255.255.255.255 up fc34-bash 5.0 ~# route add default gw 10.28.0.1 "$interface" fc34-bash 5.0 ~# cp resolv.conf /etc 'resolv.conf' -> '/etc/resolv.conf' fc34-bash 5.0 ~# host yahoo.com yahoo.com has address 98.137.11.164 yahoo.com has address 74.6.143.25 yahoo.com has address 74.6.143.26 yahoo.com has address 74.6.231.20 yahoo.com has address 74.6.231.21 yahoo.com has address 98.137.11.163 yahoo.com has IPv6 address 2001:4998:124:1507::f000 yahoo.com has IPv6 address 2001:4998:124:1507::f001 yahoo.com has IPv6 address 2001:4998:24:120d::1:0 yahoo.com has IPv6 address 2001:4998:24:120d::1:1 yahoo.com has IPv6 address 2001:4998:44:3507::8000 yahoo.com has IPv6 address 2001:4998:44:3507::8001 yahoo.com mail is handled by 1 mta5.am0.yahoodns.net. yahoo.com mail is handled by 1 mta6.am0.yahoodns.net. yahoo.com mail is handled by 1 mta7.am0.yahoodns.net. fc34-bash 5.0 ~# ping yahoo.com ping: yahoo.com: Name or service not known <========= problem fc34-bash 5.0 ~# getvb #!/bin/bash -xv cd /isos + cd /isos /usr/bin/wget https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds -O www.virtualbox.org+wiki+Testbuilds-index.html + /usr/bin/wget https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds -O www.virtualbox.org+wiki+Testbuilds-index.html --2020-12-24 21:02:56-- https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds Resolving www.virtualbox.org (www.virtualbox.org)... failed: Name or service not known. wget: unable to resolve host address ‘www.virtualbox.org’ On Friday, December 25, 2020, 1:58:47 AM PST, test-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <test-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Dec 2020 01:23:42 -0500 From: Felix Miata <mrmazda@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Trying to rename enp5s0 to eth0 fails To: test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <c90bf7b3-cb52-c8e1-c327-42008656e72e@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 George R Goffe via test composed on 2020-12-25 01:32 (UTC): > I have been using this process to rename the NIC of a system: > 1) add net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub > 2) grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg > 3) copy this file to /etc/udev/rules.d/99-rename-to-eth0.rules > contents: > SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="54:04:a6:10:61:87", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" > This was working just fine but since the fresh install of FC34 x86_64 from > Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-Rawhide-20201213.n.0.iso this procedure no longer > works. eth0 for ipv6 looks like it's working but eth0 for ipv4 init fails to > produce a usable network connection. > Is this a known bug or a George misteak? > Any help/hints/tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
