Configure DSL and Linux network
Dear Experts,
I have 2 XP/Linux dual boot machines. Previously, these machines were connected with a crossover cable, and they could talk to each other. But now, there is a DSL modem, and router that is not configured right. I have installed DSL on the XP side, and it is working well. Now, I'm trying to get it to work on Linux. First and foremost, I need the two Linux machines to talk to each other, through the router. Internet is secondary. Wireless is completely unnecessary, and unwanted. So far, I can't even ping the modem, or router, so some fundamental configuration is needed. Hardware: The IP addresses are what is configured on the XP side. 2 XP/Linux dual boot machines 192.168.2.2 - white 192.168.2.3 - red (Westell) DSL modem with Verizon 192.168.1.1 Belkin Wireless G router 192.168.2.1 also 192.168.1.47 Linux: Redhat 3.2 Kernel: 2.4.21-27.0.2.ELorafw1 I want the private network to be called: testrac.com The IP addresses need to be static. -------------------------- Here is some analysis. [root@red notes]# ping 192.168.1.1 connect: Network is unreachable [root@red notes]# ping 192.168.1.47 connect: Network is unreachable Fortunately, the machine can ping itself. cat /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 192.168.2.3 red.testrac.com red 192.168.2.2 white.testrac.com white 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.2.0 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 cat /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=red.testrac.com ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:07:E9:3C:E3:24 inet addr:192.168.2.3 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:917 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:743 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:189781 (185.3 Kb) TX bytes:53423 (52.1 Kb) Interrupt:10 Base address:0xdf40 Memory:fcffb000-fcffb038 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:16505 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:16505 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1750236 (1.6 Mb) TX bytes:1750236 (1.6 Mb) cat /etc/resolv.conf search testrac.com cat /etc/dhcpd.conf cat: /etc/dhcpd.conf: No such file or directory route add default gw 192.168.1.1 SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable -------------------------- I've been looking for a good how-to on the web, but can't find anything concise. If you know of some good concise web pages, please refer me to them. Or, if you know what I need to do, please let me know. Thanks! |
Subnet
The problem i see is that you are on two different subnets. You are probably using a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and 192.168.1.0 cannot access 192.168.2.0. An easy fix would be to put them all on one subnet or change the netmask to 255.255.0.0. Another way would be to implement some routing rules on the router so that the router can route the two different subnets accordingly.
