Public bug reported:
All,
I am running:
* Ubuntu 7.1
* vsftpd
* static ip
* local Linksys Wrt54g router
* D-Link Atheros-based wireless card
Problem:
I want to be able to refer to other machines on my home network by their names.
(All are running Ubuntu 7.10). To do this, I set up static IPs on all of them
by editing the hosts file. I also used network-admin to set the static IP
numbers.
When I try to ftp from one to another, or even to the same machine,
using either the host names or the IP numbers, then the ftp connection
times out. If I try to use Firefox to browse to the router IP, it
cannot find it. Note that accessing the external web works. The
problem appears to be confined to the local network. I can ftp to the
loopback interface correctly, just not the interface configured with a
static IP.
If I set up DHCP through network-admin, then I can successfully ftp and
browse the local network and the global network.
I had to comment out the static IP in the host file as well. Using
network-admin and the change in location feature did not work.
The following illustrates the ftp problem:
-------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ hostname
toshiba
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ftp
ftp> open
(to) toshiba
ftp: toshiba: Unknown host
ftp> open 198.162.1.155
ftp: connect: Connection timed out
ftp> bye
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ftp 127.0.0.1
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
220 Welcome to My FTP service.
Name (127.0.0.1:mario): mario
331 Please specify the password.

ftp>
-------------------------------------
By the way of another note, when I wanted to switch from static IP to DHCP I
tried using the GUI of network-admin through the change in location feature.
The network failed to come up without first commenting out static IP in the
hostname file. It also failed when trying to use ZeroConf, but that is probably
a separate issue.
