Hello. I'm having a problem setting up an AstLinux server and I would be
very grateful if anyone out there could help. To be honest, I think my
problem is a basic networking issue but I thought I'd start with this
mailing list.
I have some PolyCom SoundPoint IP 330 phones. When I plug them in, they
successfully get an IP address from my router and they certainly appear
to receive DHCP option 66 to point them to the AstLinux server, but they
fail to connect to the server. I can browse to the phone's webpage from
my desktop PC (Windows 7) and I can ping the phones from my desktop PC.
I've tried pinging and wget from the AstLinux server, but I get nothing.
The arp table shows:
? (192.168.1.12) at <incomplete> on eth0
I'm doing all this through shh (PuTTY) running on my desktop PC, so my
desktop can connect to the AstLinux server. My AstLinux server can
successfully ping both my desktop PC, my wireless access point and the
BBC website. I've used Wireshark on my desktop to watch the arp packets:
the AstLinux server certainly sends the request; I can't see the
response, but that's presumably because the switch sends it out only on
the port that the AstLinux server is connected to.
The AstLinux server is built from a low-power Core 2 Duo micro-ATX board
with networking integrated into the chipset. There's only 1 ethernet
port. I had to manually enable the sky module to get networking going
initially.
Anyone got any ideas? Many thanks.
Nick
