Network trouble shooting - HP Netserver LH Pro 6/200
Hi
I've just acquired one (of two) LH Pro 6/200's - it had been running
NT4 and I'm trying to install woody via the net. I've managed to
configure the 3Com 905 TX NIC (one of two - I removed the other) but
whilst my DHCP server (on my router) sees the machine and assigns it an
IP address, the machine can't access the network.
pinging 127.0.01 is fine and broadcast ping shows that the assigned IP
address is correct but no packets are coming back from the network. I
assume that there is some sort of inbound packet filter stopping the
inbound packets and I've edited every file in
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0 to read "1" instead of "0". However there
is one file that I haven't the permissons to change "mc_forwarding" -
is this the problem? Or is there a hardware setting that needs
changing?
Any ideas would be appreciated
TIA
Clive
