linux and cable modem
I have a linux on Mac IIci, MacOS9.1 and Win95 attached to a AOpen
Internet Hub which is then attached to a NetGear Gateway Router (model
RT311) which is attached to the cable modem. I have tried to configure
all three machines to be hosts on the local network. The only one that
I can't seem to get to work is the linux machine. Is there something
special that needs to be done to get this machine to ping the local
network or to use the router. Using debian 2.2, vmlinux
2.2.19-20010521. All I have is the initial base configuration.
I have /etc/network/interfaces set up as
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
network 192.168.0.0
/etc/resolv.conf
name server 192.168.0.1
I have also had it as
nameserver 192.168.0.1, but neither seems to work or matter.
I have /etc/networks
loopnet 127.0.0.0
localnet 192.168.0.0
My ethernet card is a dayna_1c (I think). It is recognized when probed
on boot up.
It is my understanding that anything attached to the network should be
able to ping other hosts on that network. The mac and win machines will
ping but the linux one won't.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Michael
