Thread: LAN configuration on linux

  1. #1

    Unhappy LAN configuration on linux

    I have a problem with LAN configuration on linux (Red Hat 7.2).
    I had applied istruction of my linux guide, but I have note a right result
    I have 1 server and 2 clients for my home LAN.
    I had configured manually follows files (on server):

    /etc/hosts
    #Do not remove the following line, or various program
    #that require network functionality will fail.
    127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
    192.168.1.0 server.riv66.com server
    192.168.1.11 pos1.riv66.com pos1
    192.168.1.12 pos2.riv66.com pos2
    /etc/host.conf
    order hosts,bind
    multi on
    /etc/resolv.conf
    domain riv66.com
    search riv66.com
    name server 192.168.1.0
    When I try to ping from server:
    [root@server root]# ping -c 3 pos1
    PING pos1.riv66.com (192.168.1.11) from 192.168.1.0 : 56(84) bytes of data.

    --- pos1.riv66.com ping statistics ---
    3 packets trasmitted, 0 packets received, +3 errors, 100% packets loss
    I had configured pos1's firewall to receive all ICMP packets.

    When i ping from client:
    [root@pos1 root]# ping -bc 3 server
    WARNING: pinging a broadcast address

    [root@pos1 root]# telnet server
    Trying 192.168.1.0 ...
    telnet: connect to address 192.168.1.0: Network is unreachable
    How is possible?

    Please help I cannot configure my LAN.
    I have spent many time for that, with bad results.
    Thanks

    Don't use 192.168.1.0 Its an invalid address. The last number cannot be 0 or 255. They are used for other purposes. Reset your server as 192.168.1.1

    Unhappy

    I have changed in /etc/hosts follow line:
    ...
    192.168.1.1 server.riv66.com server
    ...

    and /etc/resolve.conf:
    ...
    name server 192.168.1.1
    ...

    I have rebooted server and client.

    Ping from server:
    [root@server root]# ping -c 3 pos1
    PING pos1.riv66.com (192.168.1.11) from 192.168.1.0 : 56(84) bytes of data.

    From server.riv66.com (192.168.1.0) : Destination Host Unreachable
    From server.riv66.com (192.168.1.0) : Destination Host Unreachable

    --- pos1.riv66.com ping statistics ---
    3 packets trasmitted, 0 packets received, +3 errors, 100% packets loss
    Server has not changed configuration (report always 192.168.1.0).

    Ping form client:
    [root@pos1 root] # ping -c 3 server
    PING server.riv66.com (192.168.1.1) from 192.168.1.10 : 56(84) bytes of data.

    --- server.riv66.com ping statistics ---
    3 packets trasmitted, 0 packets received, +3 errors, 100% packets loss
    192.168.1.10?!? But i have assigned 192.168.1.11 to client.

    I had checked files, but configuration is reported correctly on this post.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks.

    check your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX (where X is 0,1,2,3....which ever one is connected to your internal network.....it is what controls your actual ip

    IPADDR=192.168.1.1 instead of IPADDR=192.168.1.0

    You might want to try giving us the output of 'ifconfig -a' This way, we can see for sure which IP's are assigned where. i am assuming your server has 2 NIC's right??? It looks to me like you have an interface configuration issue still.

    But like i said, post the configs and we will help

    Well I had changed configuration in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 ...
    it works !!! I can ping from server and from client

    But i have another question...
    I'd like use NFS, so i had edit /etc/exports:
    /database *.riv66.com(rw,insecure,no_root_squash)
    from shell...
    [root@server root]# /usr/sbin/exportfs -av
    exporting *.riv66.com:/database
    in client I have created database dir on /mnt and I had edit /etc/fstab for automount of NFS on boot:
    ...
    server:/database /mnt/database nsf rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0
    from shell:
    [root@pos1 etc]# mount /mnt/database
    mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
    Is a server's firewall configuration problem? How can I resolve it?
    Thanks

    On my server I have 1 NIC.
    Anyway:
    [root@server root]# ifconfig -a

    After you have been changed the IP with 192.168.1.1 you still have the problem?

    Well, you should look from where you "ping" the 192.168.1.11:

    [root@server root]# ping -c 3 pos1
    PING pos1.riv66.com (192.168.1.11) from 192.168.1.0 : 56(84) bytes of data.
    From server.riv66.com (192.168.1.0) : Destination Host Unreachable
    From server.riv66.com (192.168.1.0) : Destination Host Unreachable
    From server.riv66.com (192.168.1.0) : Destination Host Unreachable

    It seems that you still have the 192.168.1.0 address on your interface.

    It helps if you copy/paste the containt of the /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, a *full*
    output of "ifconfig -a" and "route -n" *after* you made the changes.


    All the best,
