Not able to access anything beyond the PPP server.
Hi All, I'm Sai Krishna. I have a very fundamental problem. I'm trying to establish a connection from a client to LAN using PPP, where my machine is the client. Actually, I was able to ping the PPP server but not able to ping other machines in that network beyond the PPP server. I have done route add -net -.-.-.- dev ppp0, once the connection is established. Also, I was just able to ping to the PPP server and when I tried ssh, the PPP connection is getting lost. Even the traceroute was unsuccessful. I will be grateful to you if you help me come over this problem. Eagerly waiting for your reply. Thank you, Regards, Sai Krishna.
Re: Urgent: Query on dhclient in handling IP conflict
Hi All,
I COULD FIX this problem with the following solution,
I could distinguish the IP conflict in the network by using following
command in dhclient-script. We need to install “arping” debian package for
this.
*arping -d -I eth0 -c 3 {IP address got from DHCP server} /dev/null; echo
$?*
*The above command will return “1” if IP conflict doesn’t exist and returns
“0” if IP conflict exists.
*
*And when IP conflict is detected, exit from dhclient-script with positive
exit status. dhclient already has a code to send DHCPDECLINE packet (with
which dhcpserver will assign a new IP to the dhclient client) when
dhclient-script returns positive value.*
Hope this helps !!
Thanks and regards,
Sathya

with the real time deployment scenario.
Wait, what? You don't control the server AND you don't control the clients
AND you want to change how the server and client interact? I'm sorry, I
think
you are asking for the logically impossible.

Re: Urgent: Query on dhclient in handling IP conflict
Hi Stan, I have already thought about this. But the problem here is, we dont have a control over neither over our DHCP server nor the system which statically configures the IP address in our subnet. I hope that, this true even with the real time deployment scenario. So, to overcome I will that it would be better if our dhcp client does an ARP broadcast to detect an IP conflict (as per RFC 2131) and send DHCPDECLINE if it has found IP conflict. Could you please let me know your thoughts on this.

Urgent: Query on dhclient in handling IP conflict
Hi All, This is Sathya, a debian etch user who uses dhclient package to configure the IP address. Firstly, I would like to give my heartily thanks to you all for your great dedicated contribution towards this package. As I am newbie to this mailing list, I am not aware on where to post this query. So, thought of this mail directly sending it to you all. My system has following dhclient packages, ii dhcp3-client 3.0.4-13+etch2DHCP Client ii dhcp3-common 3.0.4-13+etch2 Common files used by all the dhcp3* packages ii dhcp3-server 3.0.4-13+etch2 DHCP server for automatic IP address assignm Following is the problem which I am facing now, I have a subnet whose IP addressing is managed by DHCP server. But, one system in that is intentionally assigned a static IP address. In multiple occasions, I am now getting IP conflicts in my subnet. On further analysing this problem, I could undertand that this probelm is happening because, 1. As DHCP server is un-aware of this statically configured system; upon receiving the DHCPREQUEST from a system (which is running dhclient) from this subnet, the DHCP server gets an unused IP from its IP pools offers it to that client. *In somecases, dhcp server is giving the same IP address as that of statically configured system. * 2. As on receiving the IP address, *our dhclient is not performing a final check on the existence of IP conflict for prior received IP address using ARP broadcast,* it goes ahead in configuring the system with this IP address. This results in an IP conflict to exist between these two systems (with this system and a system with statically configured IP). *I could also see that, our debian dhclient presently DOES NOT HAVE AN OPTION TO IMPLICITLY SUPPORT THIS.* But as per RFC 2131, the client should perform a final check to detect the IP conflict and send DHCPDECLINE message. Please find the RFC snippet as in below, 5. The client receives the DHCPACK message with configuration parameters. *The client SHOULD perform a final check on the parameters *(e.g., ARP for allocated network address), and notes the duration of the lease specified in the DHCPACK message. At this point, the client is configured. *If the client detects that the address is already in use (e.g., through the use of ARP), the client MUST send a DHCPDECLINE message* to the server and restarts the configuration process. And also I could find the following information on dhclient manpage regarding this, Before actually configuring the address, dhclient-script should somehow ARP for it and exit with a nonzero status if it receives a reply. In this case, the client will send a DHCPDECLINE message to the server and acquire a different address. This may also be done in the RENEW, REBIND, or REBOOT states, but is not required, and indeed may not be desirable. As changes to DHCP server is out of our control we are not sure on what IP would be statically configured to the system, could you please let me know your thoughts on how do this we can fix this in dhclient code to automatically detect duplicate address using ARP broadcast ? If this support this not there in present dhclient, could you please let me know by when this the community planning to give a patch for this. As I am in need of urgent need for fix on this issue, it would be really helpful if I can get your thoughts on this by earliest. Thanks a lot in advance for understanding. Regards, Sathya

Dear Friends! I use Ubuntu Dapper Drake (on x86 pc) and wanted to install isomaster software package about which I read in a linux magazine. As this package was unavailable in my synaptic package manager with Ubuntu repositories, I downloaded the package from Debian website. While attempting the installation, I encountered dependency errors. I believe these errors can be overcome by adding appropriate Debian repositories to the etc/apt/sources.list file of my Ubuntu OS. Please (1) clarify if I can have both Ubuntu repositories and debian repositories enabled at the same time ? (2) Do I need any key to access the Debian repositories ? (3) give me the exact debian package source location lines, that I need to add to my etc/sources.list file, so I can henceforth install packages from Debian repositories without any dependency errors.
