Hi Guys,
Well have not many students for a while so took the opportunity
yesterday to `upgrade' my RedHat 6'ish to Debian. I'll bother you with a
few things today :-)
Can't yet use apt-get as it can't stat the sources. Why? Well I can't
even ping the URLs in the sources.
ping www.uts.edu.au
"unknown host"
If I ping our nameserver here by ip address I get:
"Network is unreachable"
Ok so this tells me why I can't get very far.
My resolve.conf seems OK
search chem.uts.edu.au
nameserver correct_ip_address1
nameserver correct_ip_address1
My host.conf
order hosts,bind
multi on
Note that resolve.conf and host.conf are the same as I had before with
RH and that worked. I had tar balled etc away so can refer to it.
I can also telnet fine into other machines which I have listed in my
hosts file. These machines are on the same network internally.
ifconfig says eth0 is up ok. Route shows:
Destination Gateway etc Iface
localnet * etc eth0
There is no default route. I though maybe I needed that but I dont think
so as the RH didn't have one set and my IRIX box next to me doesnt have
one either for here.
What do I check now?
Mike
