single Debian on HD for two boxes?
Hi,
I didn't succeed yet to share my portable 1GB SCSI-HD with Debian 1.1
(w/updates up to 1.1.8) to run Linux on two different boxes:
Box 1) Non-internet connected (although planning and intranet).
clone PC w/ i486/DX33 + 16MB RAM + 540MB SCSI HD (SCSI ID-1)
+ NE2000 NIC clone
Box 2) Internet connected box at work.
Compaq i586/90Mhz + 16MB RAM + PCI-IDE 633MB HD
PCI-Ethernet AM79C970KC on board.
I have problems in my connection to the local network when at work.
The same applies to mail (can send but not receive mail).
Cannot ftp either except to localhost.
I can ping localhost but I can't see any other host in the net.
I am sure is a config problem as I managed to see the network in a previous
install on the same machine. I read the documentation but I am still
stumped.
What output would you like to see to be able to help me?
or Where should i start looking to solve the problem?
Is there any post-installation "netconfig" script? by now
I modified the config files manually (/etc/init.d/network I guess
and /etc/resolv.config i my memory serves me).
Has anybody tried this "sharing the whole file-system in a HD" approach?
I am sure there can be additional details to take into account
if one goes for two different root systems (one on his own partition).
Some reflections:
- At home I have an ISA AHA 1542CF SCSI adapter while at work
I have a ISA AHA 1542CP SCSI adapter (plug & play aware) so
the fs can live on /dev/sda without any problem.
- I also managed to make Linux to recognize the PCI ethernet chip
onboard AM79C970KC. The NE2000 at home is also recognized without
problem. I don't think the different cards can make a problem
as far as the kernel recognizes both.
Thank you for your help,
Lazaro <salem@rf.no>
