Hi Folks, I am after advice because my first DachStein (floppy) installation is stuck. I am not getting any response from my ISP except for the initial DHCP....
I had some problems getting the D-Link 528's to be recognised but that was because I thought they were tulip based (like other later D-Links). They required pci_scan, ne2k_pci, and 8390 to all be enabled/uncommented. My Internet provider is NTL:Home which is a UK based cable company. I know that that is working to some extent because I can get it working with a single windows98 box. I can configure it with DHCP and bobs your uncle. I then got DachStein DENYing absolutely everything that tried to leave the box. Happily a document on the sourceforge site gave me a clue. It said there was a single line in the Eiger network.conf file which denied any access when the external IP address was a "local" one such as 192.168.X.X or 10.X.X.X etc. "Hooray" says I. I have been getting addresses in the 10. range from my ISP. So I edit the file (1, 2 in lrfg) and find not one, but three lines which mention DENY and 10. ip address ranges. I comment them all out. So now I have a firewall which doesn't DENY packets going to the outside world but it doesn't seem to do anything with them. If I log in to the box and try pinging the outside world (eg ping www.yahoo.com or ping 22.22.22.22 ) I get no response, 100% packet loss. Any idea on what I should do now? I can't see any kind of traceroute function on the standard DachStein installation. Is that what I should look for? PS I don't know what my ISP's DNS server is. Does that matter or will DHCP pick that up for me?
