Subject: SuSE 6.1 Network problem: what is 'arp'?
Date: Tue, 08 Jun 1999 04:15:42 GMT
Hi all,
I'm trying to set up a small tcp/ip ethernet network between two linux
boxes. Here is how I've set them up:
Box1
eth0 ip address: 192.168.1.1
netmask: 255.255.255.0
Box2
eth0 ip address: 192.168.1.2
netmask: 255.255.255.0
My goal for now is just to get the two machines to talk, but every time I
try to ping the other machine it times out. I am able to ping the NICs on
each of the machines (including the Local Loopback).
The command 'ifconfig' gives the following output for Box1:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C0:2D:23:47
inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
<Bla, Bla....>
lo Link encap: Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1
<Bla, Bla....>
A similar output is given for Box2 (different ip address, etc.). The routing
table for Box1 is (from /sbin/route -n):
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0
0 eth0
127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0
0 lo
A similar output is given by Box2. I ran across this command called 'arp'
in a book (I think it stands for Address Resolution Protocol). When I type
the command 'arp -vn -a' , the output is:
Entries:0 Skipped:0 Found:0
Somehow this does not look right! I have absolutely no idea what this means
(I'm very new at this networking thing : -). Could this be my problem? What
am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Later, I'm hoping
to use one of the Linux boxes as a gateway server, but one thing at a time.
PS - If someone could point me to some introductory information regarding
'arp', that would also be great.

Subject: Cable modems and Linux?
Date: Tue, 08 Jun 1999 04:47:41 GMT
I recently had a cable modem installed on one of my PCs, a dual boot
98/Linux box. The cable company effectively refuses to acknowledge the
existence of Linux and won't tell me anything about how to make it work
via Linux, which I'd really like.
The `modem' is actually attached to my regular Ethernet card. There is a
login agent, but I have my suspicions about what it does, since my
connection automatically works upon boot. Someone suggested to me that the
login agent is just something to monitor what you're doing, and all you
need is to be configured for networking and DHCP.
So, does anyone out there know how to make this work? (Bear in mind that
I've been using Linux for 4 years now and am not completely clueless,
though I've never messed around much with the networking except to set up
PPP and file-sharing.) I don't need to have it act as a router for my
other boxes or anything, and I have all the networking stuff installed.
TIA
Alexis

I'd like the mail from my site to be of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED], not with
the hostname (right now it's sending mail as [EMAIL PROTECTED]). This
is a problem since the hostnames don't necessarily exist to the outside
world (masquerading et al).... any hints?
I've read the HOWTOs, but couldn't find anything...
Thanks. Also, if you could cc: me via email that would be great!

Hi Morten,
Looks like you're not resolving ip to name correctly. You should have a "reverse
lookup domain" as well as a forward lookup domain.
In /etc/named.conf:
zone "137.216.193.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file db.rev;
};
(you can substitute any filename you like for db.rev. Also doublecheck syntax, as I
don't have my DNS and Bind book from O'Reilly and am just spouting from
memory).
Then in your db.rev file, after the appropriate SOA and NS records:
67 IN PTR hostname.domainname.
(don't forget trailing ".")
That should clear things up.
Good luck!

Subject: Telnet and missing "file descriptors"
Date: 07 Jun 1999 20:32:20 -0700
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hash: SHA1
This is a followup post to one I posted in comp.os.linux.misc on the
same subject (with no results so far). The issue is that when I
telnet to my home box, I get an error message after I log in:
"couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console"
When telnetting in from my Win98 box at work, I get all kinds of
strange screen behavior -- it doesn't refresh properly, lines of text
seem to "disappear." However, I had a braincramp and checked my TERM
variable -- it was `linux.' I changed this to vt100 and that seemed
to solve the problem. This has the disadvantage that my keybindings
are less than great, but at least I'm able to read and edit like a
normal penguin.
Assuming that I've correctly diagnosed the problem, my Q now is, -- is
there any way I can test the TERM variable in my .login file & set it
to vt100 just for telnet logins?

Well, it's time to fight with Samba again. I just did a clean install
of RedHat 6.0 and Samba doesn't work, of course. I applied the NT
patches to to plain text passwords. I have user level security. I
see my linux box in but I get the message "network path not found". I
am trying to do a smbmount to mount my nt server on my linux box and I
get an access denied error. I have a password on my linux box, but I
don't have one on my NT box. This might be part of the problem.
This command gives me an access denied message.
smbmount //nt_server/melling /home/nt_server -I nt_server -U melling
I had this working under RH5.2 with encrypted passwords, but I
couldn't browse the linux box from within NT.

And, for your information, the latest tulip driver supports this

the Lite-On PNIC chip, and it works fine for me using the tulip driver

Subject: Linux networking HELP, INTERNET HELP!!!! HELP!!!
Hello,
I have a small network (2 PC's) one PC is a Linux box running RH6 and
the other box is Window98. Now the Linux box has IP Masquerading setup
and I use it to connect to the internet. I can now use the Win98 box
(via the Linux box's internet connection) to browse the internet.
Here's the problem:
I cannot use the Linux box to browse the internet (even though the Win98
box can via the internet connection on the Linux box). What could be
causing this problem?
I can't ping anywhere. I thought it could be my resolv.conf but I think
I've set it up correctly. What could prevent me from ping'ing at the
very least.
Could someone please help me with this matter.
Thanks,
Ozette

Very simply - the rumours were lies. At the very least they are great
distortions of the truth.
I take it you're probably talking about that Mindcraft "comparo" between an
out-of the box (and unconfigured) Linux machine verus a Microsoft-tweaked
NT machine?
Linux is much more stable (my server's been running continuously since the
last restart on Thursday May 13 1999, which was only to add a new hard
drive). It's also much more configurable, and while it's harder to learn at
first once you do learn it you realise just how much stuff Windows hides
from the user...
Oh, yes, and it's also faster :) My test P166 boots to X-window in about
15 seconds, and, aside from certain applications which have nothing to do
with the operating system (like Star Office and Netscape), it is generally
faster across the board than Win95 on the same machine.
