I'm having a problem connecting two machines: one
running Mandrake 7.1 and one running 6.1. The machine
running 7.1 has Roadrunner on eth0 with the IP
assigned by DHCP and this works fine. I put a second
NIC car in this machine (DFE-530TX+) and it seem to be
working per IF config info:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr
00:50:BA:40:57:43
inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500
Metric:1
RX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
frame:0
TX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:18 Base address:0xd800
I gave the card in the machine running 6.1 the address
192.168.0.2. I set 192.168.0.1 machine as the
gateway. The problem is I can't Ping the other
machine. I can ping the the machines locally i.e.
192.168.0.1 can be pinged from 192.168.0.1. When I
try to Ping 192.168.0.1 from 192.168.0.2. Nothing
happens. When I ctrl C I get a message that all
packets were lost. The same thing happens in reverse.
I did happen to look in /var/log/messgaes in the
machine that was pinged and found the following:
Sep 12 18:37:09 cm-24-161-17-97 kernel: Packet log:
input DENY eth1 PROTO=1 192.168.0.2:8 192.168.0.1:0
L=84 S=0x00 I=34 F=0x0000 T=64 (#30)
This appears in both machines log files for every
packet sent. It appears there is some sort of
security setting that is dropping the packets? I just
can't figure out where.
Both machines have IP chains and PM firewall installed
since both at one time or another have had internet
access. The one currently with internet access has PM
firewall running on eth0. On the other machine I ran
"PM Firewall stop".
Any help much appreciated.
