I have this error but do not have that directory in sidux. Do you know where this file might be for sidux?

Hi Brian, I’m not familiar with Sidux, have you tried:

/etc/network/interfaces

http://manual.sidux.com/en/internet-connecting-wpa-en.htm#wpa7
Section 5

well i think your right as far as i can find sidux looks very debian based. so /etc/network/interfaces will do.

but i have a problem i have one ip on a ubuntu server.

i have search a couple off websites and nothing will do. the network interface is perfectly programmed and the server shows in mii-diag that the server have link but the server is not comming online already flushed the iptables and there is no firewall on it.

and still when i put eth0 up : SIOCADDRT: File exists.

well i don’t know what it is but when i find out i will let you know.
