sarge install
Hello,
I have been helping a friend install a debian sarge system with the new beta 4
installer and have come across a strange problem. The system installed
perfectly. The first time it rebooted, it just kept rebooting. I instructed
him to manually partition the system with a small boot partition first and
reinstall the system. This worked fine.
The problem is that the system works and can contact the outside world and can
ping things etc. When another machine on its local network tries to ping it
or contact it in any way it just times out. I can see the icmp echo req's
coming into the debian box but it does not reply. It is a default install
with no manipulations at the moment. There are no firewall rules and the
machine can ping other machines.
Has anyone come across this problem? Is there more information I can provide
that will help? Have I completely missed something obvious.
Thanks
Alex
