Internet connection with Ethernet

[Nicola Mondello]

Hi, using the Conduit without a SIM card is it possible to connect to the Internet only through the Ethernet connection?
Actually when I ping for example 8.8.8.8 I get:
`root@mtcdt:~# ping 8.8.8.8
connect: Network is unreachable

this is my network configuration:

root@mtcdt:~# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:00:4A:12:10
inet addr:192.168.2.111 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

Nicola,

You will need to configure the default gateway and other settings in the /etc/network/interfaces file. For example:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.0.1

This configures the Ethernet eth0 interface to be brought up automatically with an address of 10.0.0.100 and the default gateway of 10.0.0.1. This information would go into /etc/network/interfaces.

Hi Jeff,
thanks for your answer. My interfaces file was

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.111
netmask 255.255.255.0

I forgot to add the gateway line:
gateway 192.168.2.1

Now it works.
Thank you
