Folks, After a painful, remote maintenance nightmare after a lighning strike and new hard disks were courier'ed to the school, I am nearly there but for one (major) problem.
The network (35 clients) will not boot. I get this in the logs :- Jul 21 20:47:12 eshigh dhcpd: 5 bad IP checksums seen in 5 packets Jul 21 20:47:48 eshigh last message repeated 2 times I am not there - I am working on it with the school teacher who has difficulty typing "pppd call wizzy" and we communicate via a "ntalk" window. System :- 2 Thin Client servers, NFS-mounting home dirs off a "wizzy" box that handles all central services, like DHCP and TFTP and named and dialup. Dhcp version: dhcp-3.0pl2-6.14 So - the Servers are not involved at this time (booting) - that all comes off the "wizzy" box. Operating system: Whitebox Respin 1 - a RHEL clone. Packages as far as possible completely stock. Two 24 + 2 (GigE) port CNET switches, daisy-chained through the GigE links. GigE card, r8169, plugged into GigE port, new, untested. /etc/sysconfig/hwconf says this :- class: NETWORK bus: PCI detached: 0 device: eth0 driver: r8169 desc: "Realtek|RTL-8169" vendorId: 10ec deviceId: 8169 subVendorId: 1371 subDeviceId: 434e pciType: 1 pcibus: 0 pcidev: a pcifn: 0 I can ssh in to other (local-boot) computers on the network - the two Thin Client servers, a print server, with no problems. Those servers successfully mount /home from this box. No firewall on the "wizzy" box. Google tells me nothing. Ideas, anybody ?
