Simple Networking
I have been thru How-to's and such and still havent found anything to fix this little hiccup. I have a XP PC and a Fedora FC2 Server Each has its own internet connection and both have dual NIC (one for WAN other for LAN)
They wont talk to each other! ping from the Linux server results in: Destination unreachable And of course the ever informative: Request timed out. From the Windows XP PC. Trying to use a 10.0.0.1 address in the Linux server and 10.0.0.2 on the PC What I have tried: Disabled firewall(s) Checked route table added script (found here in post) iptables -A FORWARD -s 10.0.0.0 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -s 10.0.0.0 -j ACCEPT no success.. Seems simple to set a static IP and be able to ping back and forth right?? What did I miss.. please tell me its simple! EDIT: The 2 machines are connected via 10mb hub verified LAN Cables hardware ect! |
can you post up your routing table, as returned by the 'route -n' and 'route print' commands on your linux and XP boxes? 'destination unreachable' tells me that packets for the 10.0.0.0 network are trying to head out the default gateway, not a LAN interface.
you've confirmed your netmasks are correct on both servers? [edit] btw, this might be handy [/edit] |
Here is XP Route print

Ok short and simple but missing info now that Im looking at it. Now where do I add the destination routes?

ok thought to post the ifconfig result before I head off to bed for the night. Any ideas would be great!

I can access the internet via eth0 but I dont know whats up from there. |
weird problem :(
routes all look okay ... On your linux box : You could try installing 'tcpdump', run it against your eth1 interface while sending some pings to 10.0.0.2. Code:
'tcpdump -n -i eth1 icmp'On your windows box (with tcpdump still running), try sending pings to 10.0.0.1 and see if you can see the packets coming in on the eth1 interface on your linux box. :shrug: |
0 packets captured
0 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel this is after 32 requests tried pinging 10.0.0.2 Hmm ok why isnt fedora working! thinking about trying a different NIC I have seen a few bug reports on 3Com cards (3c90x) that might be buggin me too!? Ill let ya know |
not sure it's anything to do with your card ...
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:08:A4:E0:3C inet addr:10.0.0.1 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: fe80::260:8ff:fea4:e03c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:1 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:8 dropped:0 overruns:14 carrier:14 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:45517 (44.4 Kb) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:5 Base address:0xd800 plenty of RX bytes but nothing transmitted - plus a destination host unreachable message. did you run tcpdump on your public interface while sending those pings also? something has to be returning that ICMP response - it may be your upstream router. If that's the case then there is something a little strange with your routing. You could also try a more specific route for your windows machine out the eth1 interface : Code:
/sbin/route add -host 10.0.0.2 dev eth1 |
