Managing the network was complicated in case of a large number of hosts over a network. Prior to the invention of the DHCP protocol, adding any new computer to a network required manual action to add its Mac address to an IP address. where Ubuntu try to wait for network connection about 2 minutes.By Bineli Manga, Alibaba Cloud Community Blog author.ĭynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communication protocol that computers use to automatically assign IP addresses to devices connected to a local network or over the internet. Now I restart Ubuntu and got the message Waiting for network Configuration.

In this example I've taken the IP address provided by Ubuntu's ^server (Basic Ubuntu Server) package what was 192.168.217.130 and increased it by one. #No need for gateway here because this is already provided by the dhcp entry. So the entire `/etc/network/interfaces'-file looks like this: #This file describe the network interfaces available on your system So this is the entry for the first network adapter that provides gateway information and so the second configuration has no need for a line calledįor me that means the second entry has to look like this:ĭepending on what the router tells you as network address for the interface configured trough dcp and the second line here is the netmask. I figured out that the interfaces file needs only one gateway entry and this is given trough Additionally I've activated a host only adapter to be able to use a separate IP for connections between the VM and the host system.My /etc/network/interfaces file is untouched and I've activated a Nat adapter to use the host systems real network card. I've got an untouched Ubuntu here in Virtual Box and In VM-Ware Workstation. How can ubuntu be configured so that you don't got the "waiting for network configuration." message at boot if you got more than one adapter?
