Intranet Webserver Networking Issues (RH Enterprise Version 3 - No route to host)
 

This is my first post so go easy on me. Also, thanks in advance for all the help!!!


I'm currently running Red Hat Enterprise (ES) Linux Version 3.

I'm trying to setup a web server for a company's intranet. My problem I'm running into is that when I'm try to use programs like wget and redhat up2date to get systems updates and apps for apache, php, and qmail and I get an error message about no route to host. I'm think that means I've not configure my server correctly.


I get the following error when I use wget

No route to host.

I get this error when I use the redhat up2date:

Temporary failure in name resolution.


I'm fairly new using Linux so I'm not sure what I need to do or where to
look for some answers.

Any help would be welcomed!

Thanks again!

Very helpful site and I love these forums!!!!!

Have you configured default gateway?

What is the output of command route

Here's is the output of command route:


Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.1.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 10.1.220.47 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0



Thanks for posting!

Are your DNS settings working?

Can you e.g. ping www.google.com?

nope. any suggestions?


I'm getting

Destination Host Unreachable

--- www.google.akadns.net ping statistics ---
7 packets transmitted, 0 received, +6 errors, 100% packet loss, time 6027ms, pipe 5



I can ping a computer on the intranet network.


Thanks again for all of your help!

I forgot to mention that I am behind a proxy server.

To get wget working, try this:

Ok I think we've almost got it. Now, I'm getting the following error:

Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 302 Moved

....
....

Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 401 Unauthorized
Authorization failed.


Is there a way or a command to enter a password for this proxy?



Thanks again!!!

I'm still just getting a "302 moved" error and then a "401 Unauthorized" error.

I've got the right username, password and proxy ip and port.


Any suggestions?

Sorry, I'm out of ideas. I think you should ask help from your network admin.

My network admin is strickly windows.

Thanks for the help! I'll keep you posted if I ever figure this one out.
