I'm having some trouble setting up coda on a Linux box connected
to the net via dialup with dynamic IP. The setup went fine (I followed
the HOWTO) until I tried to create a volume. Then it hangs there for
a while and finally gives an RPC error something like this (this is
from memory):
RPCnewbinding to server mainland.pilsomem.com failed RPC_NOBINDING
I assume this means that coda can't look up something. I setup fake
DNS such that nslookup mainland.pilsomem.com would return 192.168.1.1
which is the correct IP address on the local network. However I couldn't
figure out how to get all of DNS working properly (yet), i.e.:
nslookup mainland.pilsomem.com -> 192.168.1.1
nslookup pilsomem.com -> 192.168.1.1
nslookup mainland -> fails
So my questions are:
1) Does this look like a DNS problem? I.e. do I have to get DNS working
before I can use CODA?
2) If it isn't DNS any suggestions as to what else I should look at?
3) Has anyone else setup CODA on a dynamic IP machine or a machine
that is disconnected from the net and if so how did you do it?
If it is DNS then I will keep working on my setup to get split DNS working
properly. BTW pilsomem.com is a bogus domain.
Thanks,
Matt
