SIOCDELRT: No such process ?

[darksideforge]

I just edited /etc/network/interfaces to give myself a static IP and then I did

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

and i received the following error:

SIOCDELRT: No such process

What am I doing wrong?

I still don't know where the error came from, but my static IP is up and running. I won't mark this as "SOLVED" for another day or so to see if anyone has any answers on what a SIOCDELRT is.

Sounds like "delete route". Here is a similar problem - it also seemed to work, despite the error messages.

I am having a similar issue. I setup static IPs in /etc/network/interfaces and then when I restart it, I get that error. The static IPs work for the most part, but every once in a while I will run an ifconfig and they switch to DHCP. Then I restart the networking, get that error, then they go back to static.

Any ideas on how to keep them static all the time?

first off you need to edit your /etc/hosts file * use vi, nano, gedit * what ever flavor txt editor you like

sudo nano -w /etc/hosts

add your ip address and your name at line three

127.0.0.1    localhost    linux
#127.0.1.1    linux.WorkGroup    linux
192.168.20.20    linux.mydomain.com linux # <------ add your ip and name 


# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

then restart your network and the error is fixed, the edited /etc/host file is also need for the static changes you made
