It is John. Its evidence you are using dhcp as the hook means. Things may have improved over the years since 10-04, but I've only used dhcp in the router to get me an ipv4 address for the router, everything else is host file based. My /etc/hosts file: ======================================= 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.xx.1 router.coyote.den router 192.168.xx.3 coyote.coyote.den coyote 192.168.xx.4 shop.coyote.den shop 192.168.xx.5 lathe.coyote.den lathe 192.168.xx.6 lappy.coyote.den lappy 192.168.xx.10 GO704.coyote.den GO704 ======================================== Identical on all machines And my /etc/resolv.conf from any machine ========================= search this-machines-name nameserver 192.168.xx.1 order host,dns ========================= This one made immutable with a sudo chattr +i specifically to keep network-mangler from mangling it if its still installed. Then you can configure /etc/network/interfaces to look something like this: ====================== # list of interfaces to bring up at boot auto lo eth0 # interface lo iface lo inet loopback address 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 # interface eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.xx.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.xx.1 ======================== Where the last number of the eth0 address is that machine. And if network-mangler is still installed, sudo chattr +i that file too to keep it from being re-written by mangler. In wheezy, N-M can be removed. On all the linux machines. I don't do windows, any flavor, so I can't advise on that. But the last time I setup a neighbors windows machine, that is exactly what I did as he had a router that could NAT, so I made it so. > > On 11/4/2015 8:01 AM, Rick Lair wrote: > > Maybe not the right place to ask, but, regarding the networking, why > > would randomly you not be able to see other network computers?

Can you ping them by name? Can you get their address from an ifconfig report on each machine, then go ping them by address from another machine? The latter, as long as they are all in the same class D address space but you can't ping them by address, I'd say you have hardware problems. > > Rick > > > > On 11/4/2015 8:27 AM, John Thornton wrote: > >> If he is doing that from a Windoze computer you can configure the > >> right click Send To for each machine so it's a one click op to send > >> the file. > >> > >> JT > >> > >> On 11/4/2015 7:16 AM, Rick Lair wrote: > >>> It was an absolute requirement that I got that to work, probably > >>> like yours, we now have multiple machines in the shop running > >>> Linuxcnc, and thumb drives are easy to lose, so I have all the > >>> machines networked together, so the guy in the office that makes > >>> the programs, can drop the finished g code program right into the > >>> nc_files folder in the respective machine, right from his desk. > >>> > >>> > >>> Rick > >>> > >>> On 11/4/2015 8:09 AM, John Thornton wrote: > >>>> Sweet, and it works!
