Can ping to the internet but not to the computer 3 foot away. Why not?
I think I have a working nic card.

What is the problem? And how do I cure it. And what is really my address I should be using ? In one place it is 12.76.47.192 but I have th static address set to 196.168.0.3. So I am confused. All information was gather under the "root" user. |
Do you have a software firewall (blackice, zonealarm, etc.) on the win98 computer?

Linux machine has the default firewall set to high. According to the "Kickstart" configuror". I do not have a IP address setup in the "Kickstart" it set to DHCP yet I have set a "Static IP address" in my nic configator. Could this be a problem? Should I go into "kickstart" and add the address there? Should I change it to "Static IP address"? Or Should I leave it along? Any ideas as what to do? |
it looks like the subnets you have set up are wrong.
Quote:
Basically, your IP address needs correcting. as a default class C subnet it should normamly be on 192.168.0.0 anyway, not 196.... |

There seems to be a number a of place that there are IP Address to be entered. [list=1][*]The Menu under Kickstart "Netwrok Configuration"[*]The menu for configuring "Network Device Control"[*]The DNS tab under the "Network Configuration"[*]The "ethernet device"[/list=1] So you see why I am confused, I have a number of choice but I do not know which controls which. So where exactly am I change this address??????? |
the be all and end all of what to change is /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 you can easily set a static IP there, or also from that file declare it should use DHCP. it si that file that every other interface will eventually control.

Ok acid_kewpie
Where exactly are the address coming from am I just making them up? Does my 5 way hub assign them? I would like to know where these magical numbers come from. There four places that have addresses with 4 different address. You had mentioned that the numbers starting with "196" should really be "192"'s so do I just change 196 to 192 where ever it is? Also you mentioned changing the "DHCP" . It sounds like I change to a static address or use the DHCP" but not both. I am understanding this correctly? Here is the file DEVICE=eth0 ONBOOT=no BOOTPROTO=none IPADDR=196.168.0.3==Is this the address to change right? NETMASK=255.255.255.0==Leave this one alone?? TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=no PEERDNS=no==This is the DNS to change "YES" ? NETWORK=196.168.0.0===What is this address for ? Do I change it? BROADCAST=196.168.0.255===What is this address for?? Do I change it? Sorry if I seem overly cautious but I messed with my network and modem once before and it took me a week to figure out how to get back into my system. So I do not want to have to go thru that again. |
root@localhost root]# ping iwill PING IWILL (169.254.133.224) from 12.76.47.192 : 56(84) bytes of data. --- IWILL ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% loss, time 9012ms
Further problems. 169.254.x.x numbers are for when an interface can't reach a DHCP server, it self assigns in this range. When you try to ping, it goes through the PPP interface. That's where the 12.76.47.192 address is. If you have: modem------computer-----nic---------hub----other computers----- Then there either needs to be a DHCP server that is handling the computers off of the hub, or you need to assign an IP address to them. Don't just pick IPs at random. google on 'private ip range'. 192.168.0.0/24 is the one every one seems to use. I have a 'dsl router' in place where I have hub listed above. It's capable of doing DHCP, then I just put the computer w/modem on the wan port on the DSL/router, then I have the modem-computer set to forward traffice for the network. I go online, then all the computers in the house can browse the internet. If you self assign, the computer w/modem would be considered the gateway. In the above scenario, I'd call the gateway: 192.168.0.1, with 255.255.255.0 for a subnet mask. I would then assign the other computers IPs in the 192.168.0.2-10 range (I don't have that many). Same subnet, but use 192.168.0.1 as the gateway. On the modem-computer, I'd leave the default route alone, when it dials, it will assign the default route the PPP connection. roger |
Ok, what I did was as adviced change my IP address. From 196.xx to a 192.xx , this seem to solve my problem now I can at least ping to the Win98 and Linux
With this problem solved we seek out the next solution. Getting Samba-Swat to work. Thanks for all the help. Hope I can help you out in the future. |
first have u installed samba and swat?
if its so, then start swat daemon. 1 - type "ntsysv" in terminal and mark swat with * . 2 - u must restart or reload xinetd service. because swat works as a xinetd sub service. restart xinetd: "/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart" . 3 - then open your browser type "localhost:901" in address bar. login with root and enjoy. |

I have started a new post on this subject. A few questions about Samba-Swat. I am able to bring Swat up but I do not understand what it is asking for actually. Again thanks for the help in trying to teach an old dog new tricks. See you at the other post. |
