[netperf-talk] Static IP adress stalls netperf ?

[andrew.west at mindspeed.com]

I'm a newbie to Netperf

installed 2.4.3 tarball on a 2.6.16 kernel with debian sarge

its working well with dhcp running .  ran tests between 2 machines on same 
subnet.

However, when I change IP address of machine to a static IP setup needed 
for one test:
i.e from interfaces file:

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
   address 10.1.1.2
   network 10.1.1.0
   broadcast 10.1.1.255
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   gateway 10.1.1.1

do a /etc/init.d/networking restart

also a /etc/init.d/inetd restart     (not sure if necessary)


I can't even invoke netperf anymore  (e.g just the standard tcp_stream 
loopback test cmd) , command just hangs.

Any ideas why?

if I go back to dhcp,  restart networking and inetd everything works 
again.
