Description Ayhan Zorlubas 2007-02-17 17:43:25 UTC
Hi
when i tried to install gentoo with GTK+ installer, setup fails. First i set my network connection (i use a static ip on my company's network). well i could connect internet. but later when i started the installation, my ethernet card lost IP and took an IP from DHCP server. if i took an ip from DHCP, i must assign proxy address.

The problem is why GTK+ installer releases static IP address?

Thanks...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.i tried to use net-setup taking static ip address
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Released static ip and took from DHCP again

Because you told it to use DHCP on the 2nd screen (first after the welcome screen).

     i didn't tell to take ip from DHCP. only i configured my networks with net-setup and took static ip, not from DHCP. after this settings, when i wrote "ifconfig" on the terminal, i can see what i configured. And i can connect internet.

    Then when i opened the GTK+ installer, it automatically checks "my network configured" at beginning of installer. but later, i try to install gentoo, it couldn't connect internet and couldn't emerge anything, then ,it fails.

If you left "my network is already configured" checked, then it wasn't the installer that did it.

yes, i checked it but the installer released static ip. 
second time i didn't checked it and configured manually to taking static ip at beginning of the installation. both of these ways released static ip.
