Thanks to all those that helped get my internet connection working.
AFAICT  the Guru router seems to be replying with malformed packets on the
DNS, just what that means I don't know at this stage, but my other machines
seem to connect OK.

All i have done basically is list the router 3rd and put the ISP's routers
earlier.

 Can the other machines in your LAN ping 10.0.0.6 ?
yes, no problem

 A few days ago, upon routine (daily) upgrading with Synaptic, I
 discovered that network-manager (which previously was not working
 correctly on this machine) was obtaining a DHCP address from my
 firewall/router (SmoothWall), and was not using my specified static
 address (192.168.1.13).  
all i could get working was the local-link connection, so I've removed
network-manager and all related bits.

 After removing network-manager, I discovered that the ethernet
 interface on the motherboard was being used, whereas heretofore I had
 been using a PCI ethernet card.  (When I first got the machine, Debian
 did not have a driver for the interface on the motherboard; the
 easiest solution was to plug in an ethernet card.)  So I removed the
 ethernet card, and expected that the interface on the motherboard
 would be eth0.  However, it did not respond to eth0 or to eth1 -- but
 by experimenting, I found that it works if I call it eth2.  

I have another card installed because i wanted 1G networking rather thatn
the 10/100 on the motherboard.
Both ifaces have had the same quercky problem bit the onboard one is now
disabled in the bios.
The 1G PCI (Dynamode Giga Networking) card seems to respond correctly, it
just appears that dns isn't working properly (to me anyway)

 The only thing I can find related to mdns (and which seems relevant

 /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon stop
Ok stopped  removed.

Still no difference :-(  
I'm getting a bit peed off with it all really, I thought Linux was easy to
get connected with !
I've never had this much trouble before. Even with a windows98 laptop I
managed to get networking copied across to it  working!

Is there any way I can tell what the DNS is actually doing.
If I ping an address, _sometimes_ I can get the browser to connect to it,
but not always.

 This to me suggests that you have a dns related issue. I'd check to make

 the  10.0.0.254 with each dns server you have listed in
 /etc/resolv.conf  That will at least tell you if your dns servers are
 working properly.

Aha  something shows up...
My router replies with the address ok follwed by
;; Warning Message parser reports malformed message packet
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached.
I've no idea what that is but my other machines never seemed to have had
any problems with it!

The 2nd one returns the ip OK
The 3rd just timed out.

I've swapped the order round  WAHOO it appears to be working.
I have had them in different orders before now but think the ldresd may
still have been interfering.

I've put the router at the bottom of the list for now until i find out
what's up with it.

Done that

 I thought you said that the router was the DHCP server and that the

I think it is Paul that is having simialr problems

No this is a fresh install of debian 4.0r2. I have tried last night with a
copy of fedora 8 live cd with the same results, so have reinstalled debian.

I want to use fixed IP nos and i am having serious difficulty getting this
box running properly. 
Being a new Linux user i have no idea where the problem lies. Could it be
my router settings? I have checked them several times and my other
computers all seem to connect ok. DHCP is turned off and there is nothing
else i can see that would cause problems.

So far I have spent 4 days and nights attempting to get this working with
no further progress. Would an earlier version on linux be more likely to
work for me . I'd prefer NOT to have to go back to windows.

deep breath
Sorry for the rant.

What's the best place to start ?

 You can only use fixed IP if the router to which you are connecting is
 under your control as well.  If it will only use DHCP then you have to
 use it for the network connection between this box and the router.
I think the router uses DHCP to connect to my ISP but uses NAT to pass on
connections to all my local machines which use fixed 10.0.0.x IP's

 We need a proper network layout with IP addresses, router settings, etc.

  several other machines also connect ok by swapping cables, Acorn A7000,
WAP for laptop, and several other PC's i've built.

DHCP server is OFF in the router.

OK, I can ping local  external sites.

I still can't browse by name, but entering the IP no in the browser allows
me to connect to some sites.

I've added more ISP dns numbers to /etc/resolv.conf 

I've still no idea what's wrong :-(

New User- Network Problem

2008-02-14 Thread Mitch Crawford
I'm having problems with a new installation 4.0r2
I can't get the machine to connect out using the browser.

I can ping local machines ( i've set up hosts file  use fixed ip nos only
in the 10.0.0.x 255.255.255.0 range)

I can ping debian.org ok, it gives 192.25.206.10 as an ip no so the dns
appears to be working.

somebody has suggested iptables, but i don't know where to look.

I have installed a PCI gigabit card  disabled the on board one but the
results are still the same

Any help or ideas appreciated.

Just to follow up my own thread, I've tracked it down to a clash between
network settings  network tools devices.

I'm just connecting through eth1 my PCI 1G network card.
In Network tools  device eth0 and eth1 are both disabled !

In Network settings eth0 is not configured and eth1 is active, enabled and
set with the IP data.

If network tools eth1 is configured the network icon at the top of the main
window loses its connection.

Can anybody make any sense of this... very confusing for a newbie to Linux.

 right now there are these 3 scripts:
  S38resolvconf   
  S39ifupdown
  S40networking

I havn't got S38 ?  

What I have found is that if I disable the network  re enable it I do get
a connection from the wired network.
I'm guessing it gets it through DHCP but my router isn't figured for that,
I only use static IP's.

Could it be getting the IP no from the ISP, although it's the same every
time and I'm not getting a default route or DNS servers listed.
The IP being set is 169.254.176.243 not the 10.0.0.6 set in etc/network/
interfaces

ifconfig is showing inet6 addr with the 169.254.176.243 net address,  where
is this coming from, the router or the ISP ?

I can't connect using any other method or settings.

 You probably have zeroconf installed.  Remove it.
Where does it live ? 
Search can't find it
