Felix, Let me tighten the problem definition. 1) I am able to change the name of the interface 2) This interface does NOT come up at boot time. 3) Manually configuring the interface produces an interface that is up and sort of functional. The host command produces some DNS information but when I try to use the interface with wget, I get error messages. 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 # below is another or maybe the same problem: Resolving www.virtualbox.org (www.virtualbox.org)... failed: Name or service not known. wget: unable to resolve host address ‘www.virtualbox.org’ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 26 Dec 2020 14:39:22 -0500 From: Felix Miata <mrmazda@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Trying to rename enp5s0 to eth0 fails To: test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <fe04e6d0-f802-e5c3-ec3f-288a003934ef@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 George R Goffe via test composed on 2020-12-26 17:39 (UTC): > I don't any instructions in your post.

The kernel does all the work based upon that cmdline option. George, I got your email from 2020-12-25 01:32 (UTC), and sent you a reply, but yahoo.com and earthlink.net do not play nice together. Email between the two very often disappears into the ether. -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
