Ubuntu 8.04 x64 - SIOCADDRT: No such process

[TheAlteredState]

Hey guys, I'm trying to add a route in Ubuntu.... but I keep getting the following error:

SIOCADDRT: No such process

Example of the type of route I'm trying to add:

Code: Select all

route add -net 172.16.0.0 netmask 255.240.0.0 gw 172.20.3.177 dev eth0

I tried putting sudo in the front of that, no luck. Any ideas?

Are you using a Dlink card?
If thats the case, the only thing you can do is search the net for a set of drivers for the card - that can sort the problem out

Its an issue with the generic drivers for your NIC

Aaaah, okay... I'm actually using nVidia NICs, but I haven't installed the nForce drivers cos everything was working shot! I'll give that a try then!

*EDIT

...okay, dead end....

NVIDIA nForce Drivers

Open source drivers for NVIDIA nForce hardware are included in the standard Linux kernel and leading Linux distributions. This page includes information on open source drivers, and driver disks for older Linux distributions including 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Linux.

first off, which version of ubuntu? pc or laptop?

is DHCP enabled? (WICD is an excellent improvement to the default NW manager applet...)

Code: Select all

$ dmesg | grep -i eth0

should spit out any driver issues encountered for that device...

[TheAlteredState]

Mkay, so I've upgraded to 8.10 and.... same thing.....

@rustypup: Well I put in static IP's via the NetworkManager Applet, but when you reboot, all settings are reset to DHCP

Below is the info for the two card from that command you provided...

Code: Select all

[    3.008533] forcedeth 0000:00:10.0: ifname eth0, PHY OUI 0x5043 @ 1, addr 00:17:31:e8:bf:b4
[   40.416008] eth0: no IPv6 routers present
[  233.114485] eth0: link down.
[  239.473653] eth0: link up.

Code: Select all

[    3.528517] forcedeth 0000:00:11.0: ifname eth1, PHY OUI 0x5043 @ 1, addr 00:17:31:e8:c6:bc
[   40.152008] eth1: no IPv6 routers present
[  237.064804] eth1: link down.
[  240.485189] eth1: link up.

sheesh... seems ubuntu has something against your mobo...

I put in static IP's via the NetworkManager Applet

well, nwm doesn't do to well with static IPs... grab wicd and try that instead... in most cases, i prefer wicd over nwm... far less finicky...

Below is the info for the two card

that doesn't look hopeful at all..... i'm leaning towards g0ldback's diagnoses... just to confirm, what's the ouput from

Code: Select all

lspci | grep -i ethernet

[TheAlteredState]

Code: Select all

00:10.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 Ethernet (rev a2)
00:11.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 Ethernet (rev a2)

By the way, I uninstalled the dhcp3-client package and the static info seems to be sticking now
I just can;t use DHCP....
