Since Felix seems to be glued to this thread, I should report here that all my problems getting a SBR to connect via a crossover cable seem to come down to an impared NIC on a particular Via EPIA CN board. I'm still a little mystified by this as all the SB2s and SB3s I've tested don't have a problem with this board, just the SBRs.
Anyway, when I built another SC7box based on an old ASUS P4P-800MX board, the SBRs were perfectly happy connecting via a crossover cable. Yesterday, when I resurrected a mothballed Via based box that was hardware-identical to the problematic system, the SBRs didn't have a problem with that one either. So...a semi-bad NIC on one system board has caused me hours and hours of head-scratching. The last test I need to perform is to swap the system drives between those two Via based systems just to make sure it really, really is just hardware, and not not configuration related. Related to this, I did run into one stumbling block with your UDAP tool, Robin. When I configured the ASUS SC7box with two NICs, one (eth0) connected to my LAN and the other (eth1) configured statically to a different subnet and connected via crossover cable to the SBR, your UDAP code could never discover the attached SBR. Does your code, as written now, broadcast over all extant interfaces? Is there a startup parameter that will tell the code to broadcast over eth1? Finally, what ports need to be opened in iptables for UDAP to work? I've found that I need to kill the firewall on the system running the UDAP code in order to communicate with the SBR. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43722 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
