I'm trying to setup Qubes OS on my desktop but struggling to get the network/internet working.

This is the configuration i want to setup - 

ip - 192.168.1.2
Subnet - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.1.1
DNS - 8.8.8.8
interface - eth0

i tried following with limited success - 

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0  
route add default gw 192.168.1.1

also edited /etc/resolv.conf to added dns entry.

Now when i check ifconfig - I get my ip & netmask configured and when i check routes i get 2 routes displayed with 192.168.1.1 as default.

But i still cannot surf or even ping domains (eg. www.google.com).

Qubes has various security domains called AppVm's. So i guess we could/might need to setup a network config for each VM. Its all a little new to me (+ its documented sparsely) so any help appreciated!

  • Since the network setup of Qubes OS is one of its defining characteristics (I guess), I suppose this can't be answered by someone not knowing it in detail. How about consulting [the mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/qubes-devel) if [the wiki](http://wiki.qubes-os.org/trac/wiki/UserDoc) doesn't help? – sr_ Apr 30 '12 at 09:15

The simplest way is to use NetworkManager system tray. Right-click on it, select edit connection, if the IPv4 tab, select manual and put your network settings in here.

  • How do you get to the NetworkManager? Is that the icon with two computers at the bottom right? If so while in dom0 I only have the option of clicking on 'VPN Connections' the two 'Ethernet Network' buttons are grayed out. – Kyle Bridenstine Dec 27 '15 at 17:53

you need to assign the ipaddress using following format

Here 192.168.1.1 is my Router (gateway) 

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.2
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.1.1
    network 192.168.1.0
    broadcast 192.168.1.255
    dns-nameserver 192.168.1.1 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

you have to edit the resolv.conf for accessing the internet using and for permanent resolve you need to edit the base file too

vim /etc/resolv.conf

Append the below resovle

nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Edit the base file

vim /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base

Append the below resovle

nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

What has worked for me with qubes, have used all the releases since the first, is to let qubes acquire an ip address from my workstation/router's dhcp server. This seems to have to be 10.137.1.x - per my experience.

In other words, set up my dhcp server/router to allocate an ip address in the range 10.137.1.1 to 10.137.1.255, or some subset of that range.

When I fit in with qubes this way, it works like a charm, (from qubes) pinging google.com to my heart's content, updating/upgrading, viewing web pages, etc. - hth
