I have a box that has linus debian 2.2 installed (or maybe partially
installed) that I would like to use on a network. I am able to boot to a
text based screen and have assigned a root password as well as an additional
user account. Having read about dbootstrap and X windows, I would like to
be able to modify the network settings, but cannot find a command that lets
me. I have tried linuxconf and netcfg, and have looked at the /etc and
/sbin directories. According to "Running Linux" the configuration files
should be in /etc/init.d/network, but I initially had no such directory,
then created one and added settings.
HOSTNAME='hostname'
/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
/sbin/route add 127.0.0.1
IPADDR="207.234.111.66"
NETMASK=255.255.255.224
NETWORK="207.234.111.0"
BROADCAST="207.234.111.255"
GATEWAY="207.234.111.65"
I can ping to 127.0.0.1 and to 207.234.111.66, but not to 207.234.111.65. I
can ping to the gateway (207.234.111.65) from a windows machine using DOS,
and have been assured by my ISP that the addresses are valid. I have
received several very helpful tips so far, but have not been able to get
past the gateway. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
