problem after changing IP class

nazir · 01-21-2006, 05:03 AM

Hi
I've changed internal ip adresses from someip/24 to someip/23 and since then i can't ssh to my router from the internal network, i can't access web server, but i can ping my router. Anybody knows what may be the cause of that problem? I'm using Slackware 10.2 with 2.6.14 kernel. Internal network is working on brigde made of two interfaces. Before changing my IP class everything was working fine.

P.S As usual - sorry for my english

well you clearly arsed up your netmask... not sure why you're even asking what the cause is

I'm guessing here but I would try using a netmask of 255.255.254.0

that IS /23, which is what caused this situation.

I know perfectly well that "that IS /23". Gotta love those caps.

How do you know that he did this? Maybe he just started changing the third octet for nine bit host numbers but forgot to change the netmask. The original post isn't clear what was and what was not done. Or maybe the broadcast mask is wrong.
