Hi everyone,
Thanks again for helping me get the Sis900-based ethernet card working
on my machine. I'm sorry to bother again, but I've got a new problem
trying to get the machine configured to work on our network. I've
read through the Network Configuration wiki, and while I learned a few
things, some things still remain cloudy (my networking knowledge is
minimal too, apologies).
I have a Belkin router, which is located at 10.50.50.1 on the LAN, and
whose computers start at 10.50.50.100. There are a couple of other
computers, using Windows and Linux, and they are automatically assigned
IP addresses when they connect to the router. I think this is another
way
of saying the router has its own DHCP server. On a query of one of the
Windows machines, I found that the Gateway, DHCP Server, and DNS
server were all 10.50.50.1, the address of the router.
Trying to make sense of the Network configuration wiki, I added the
following to my /lib/ndb/local file:
ip=10.50.50.104 ipsubmask=255.255.255.0
ipgw=10.50.50.1
dns=10.50.50.1
I manually put in 10.50.50.104, and have a feeling I shouldn't be
doing this. In any case, the result was a failure. The plan9 machine
can ping itself at 10.50.50.104, but can't ping 10.50.50.1. DNS
queries fail with the error: dns: temporary failure.
I tried looking through previous 9fans posts for ways to configure a
simple connection to a router, unsuccessfully.
Would someone be so kind as to help me find a way to get the ethernet
card connected to the router, and hence, the internet? Apologies
again, I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing. Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Ray Amberg
Hello..
I'm a newbie... :p
Take a look at your /rc/bin/termrc ? seems necessary to address a DHCP..
