New install: net unreachable
Please help, this is a newbie being stupid question....
I've done several slink installs that have worked fine.
I'm trying to install it on my laptop now and am having problems
with the system once its installed. Basically everything seems
fine but I can't use the network (3c589 pcmcia ethernet). I can ping
the machine's own address but pings anywhere else result with ping
declaring "not allowed"...
My ifconfig and route table look fine. I know the driver and network
is okay because the entire system was nfs installed initially! This
problem occurs when I reboot after completing the entire install
process.
I suspect that I've (unknowingly) installed some sort of ip security
program that is not allowing network access, I see things in the boot
log like "ip paranoia deamon"... and others that I don't understand. I
used the custom package selection of dinstall. I've carefully done
the process twice with the same results.
As a newbie, I have no idea how to search the OS to find the
offending software if that's the problem.
Besides any suggestions on what might be causing this problem, can
someone please let me know how I'd (efficiently) go about tracking
down offending software in general?
TIA,
Chris
