LAN configuration problem?
I've been playing around for a few days trying to get a network up
between my Debian 1.3/2.0.30 box and a Win95 machine. I've read the Net-3
and IP-Masquerade HOWTOs and have set things up to what I think should be
right.
However, I can't even seem to get even a ping across the LAN. Of course, if
I boot into Win95 on both machines it works okay so I know the cabling is
good. I have the Win95 machine (horeb, aka 192.168.1.2) set up exactly as the IP-Masquerade
HOWTO describes, so I don't think things are a problem there.
The Linux machine is now set up with diald and ppp to link into my ISP
(together.net) which does a typical dynamic IP assignment. This works just
fine; it's the ethernet setup that I'm trying to tackle now. The ethernet
card is a Realtek (sp?) model PnP NE-2000 clone.
Could someone look over my configuration and help this newbie spot
something that I've probably overlooked? :-) If so, I'd appreciate it.
For my Linux machine, here's what I have in my relevant files:
/etc/hostname:
golgotha
/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.1 golgotha golgotha.spartacus golgotha.together.net
192.168.1.2 horeb horeb.spartacus
/etc/host.conf:
order hosts,bind
multi on
/etc/hosts.deny:
ALL: PARANOID
ALL: ALL
/etc/hosts.allow:
ALL: LOCAL
ALL: horeb, .spartacus
in.smtpd: ALL
fingerd: ALL: (finger @%h | mail -s "SECURITY!: Finger from %h" redwards)
/etc/resolv.conf:
domain together.net
search golgotha golgotha.spartacus together.net
nameserver 204.97.120.30
nameserver 204.97.120.31
nameserver 198.6.1.1
/etc/init.d/network:
#! /bin/sh
# Configure the loopback interface:
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0
# Define some of my defaults:
IPADDR=192.168.1.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
# Set up my ethernet card:
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
route add -net ${NETWORK}
route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1
A report from "ifconfig eth0" after rebooting Linux and doing 2
commands of "ping 192.168.1.1" from the Win95 machine:
eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:C0:26:80:1F:71
inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:60 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:80 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
Interrupt:10 Base address:0x6100
When ping'ed from the Win95 machine as per above, the Win95 machine
reports 4 "Request timed out." rather than a normal type of ping response.
If anyone has any ideas of what my problem might be (the LAN problem,
not my personal ones!:-) and/or any suggestions for optimizing this setup
(all I want to do is to enable networking between the Linux and Win95 boxes
and allow the Win95 machine to eventually masquerade out to the internet)
I'd greatly appreciate it.
