can't get on the net with Suse
Hi I have a problem. I have been trying to set up forwarding so I can use p2p etc so I configured my bt voyager 205 router to forward to my ip address as I needed to setup a static ip I first changed this in XP as i'm duel booting to 192.168.1.113 when I do ipconfig in XP it shows up as 192.168.1.113 however when I do a check on the net it shows my ip address as 81.152.163.116?? I have obviously disabled DHCP so I can't understand why it is showing a DHCP ip address??
Anyway I then ran Suse 9.1 entered yast and set up my LAN card with a static ip address of 192.168.1.113 as I did for XP I also allowed port forwarding but everytim I try to connect to the net for Linux, Google, Yahoo etc it just comes back telling me error conecting to (whatever address) and says unknown host?? Can anyone help??? |
205 router is doing NAT ? Or is the ISP doing NAT. Whats the subnet mask ??
Can you ping the near interace of the router ? |

I can ping in XP did ping www.google.com which was ok. Can't do anything in Linux. the router is doing NAT I had to do that process whilst configuring the router. I have just tried the other ip 81.152.163.116 as a static because it looks like BT have already given me that iIP as static via DHCP but it wouldn't work and the only way thats going to happen is if I set DHCP in router which defeats the object if I want to Port forward? |
This is whats in IP route in the bt config utill

BT have not given you a static give it a few days and it will change.

( I'm assuming I do the ping in command line ) not to cleaver with Linux yet. |
Update |
Is there anyone who can help me with this problem? I tried much of what I know which isn't a lot I even reinstalled Suse with no luck so I can only assume it's a problem with configurations in my router. At the moment i'm having to us XP and realy want to get back to using the big L!

ON Linux use ifconfig -a
On windows use ipconfig /all And post the results along with the other tests I said. First we have to know if the linux box can even get to the router. |

How do I copy the info of ifconfig -a from root to a text doc so I can trasfare it to my windows directory so I can cut and paste it here????
|
ifconifg -a > /tmp/ifconfig.txt
ftp ifconfig to some server start windows again and pull it down also do ping -b 192.168.1.0 also do ping -b 192.168.2.0 also do ping -b 192.168.0.0 And paste the results also do netstat -rn will return summit like 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 The last entry that starts with 0.0.0.0 in my case "0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0" ping the second entry e.g. ping 192.168.0.1 and also do nslookup bbc.co.uk |

I meant you to do it in linux.
From the windows box your IP should be 192.168.1.113 and gateway 192.168.1.1 So do this on the linux box as root ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.113 netmask 255.255.255.0 up ping 192.168.1.1 and ping 192.168.1.2 If that works the linux box can get to router! Then route add default gw 192.168.1.1 Now the next part I dont think you have domainserver set up. echo "nameserver 192.168.1.1" >> /etc/resolv.conf echo "nameserver 192.168.1.2" >> /etc/resolv.conf Now do nslookup bbc.co.uk And tell me what you got back for all the commands. Just do the above as I set it out! |
