Re: ethernet error? [SOLVED]
Ahhh, that's it, the firewall! I am my own worst enemy. I installed Guarddog, and I was blocking IPP (Internet Printing Protocol). Unblocking it made the nasty messages go away. Thanks to everyone who replied. Without your help, I probably would have replaced my motherboard instead! I still highly recommend Guarddog. regards & happy holidays, Robert On Mon, 22 Dec 2003 13:22:14 +0100 Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello > > Robert Storey (<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) wrote: > > > Just recently, I'm getting a most peculiar message popping up on my > > screen about once every 30 seconds or so: > > > > DROPPED IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=192.168.0.2 DST=192.168.0.255 LEN=129 > > TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=631 LEN=109 > > > > I have three machines on my network, and only this machine > > (192.168.0.2) is displaying this message.

Re: Ethernet Error
Hi folks, It's possible that the original poster has been allocated a block of 32 IP addresses from someone in which case the mask of 255.255.255.224 is correct, changing from a 27-bit to 24-bit mask would cause more problems than it cures. > Your netmask doesn't look good to me, try editing your /etc/init.d/network > (or /etc/network/interfaces, I don't know which one you are using) and > change the netmask of your localnet to 255.255.255.0 > > DestinationGatewayGenmaskFlagsMetricRef > > UseIface > > locatnet* 255.255.255.224U 0 > > 01 eth0 > > 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0U 0 > > 01 lo Cheers, Tom
Re: Ethernet Error
Your netmask doesn't look good to me, try editing your /etc/init.d/network (or /etc/network/interfaces, I don't know which one you are using) and change the netmask of your localnet to 255.255.255.0 Ron Rademaker On Tue, 30 May 2000, Steve wrote: > Ok.

Try as root /sbin/route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 window 16384 eth0 assuming your eth0 has an IP in the range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 If that works fine then add it to something in /etc/init.d -- From: Steve[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 31 May 2000 1:32 PM To: Ron Rademaker Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject:Re: Ethernet Error Ok.

Ok. That sounds like a plan. When I run route, I see an entry for the localnet associated with eth0 and an entry for the lo (no gateway assigned to either).

Re: Ethernet Error
Why do you think the problem is with the card? What about your route table, is all correct there? And ipchains, you don't have them so you can't get anything out or in can you? What exactly does it say when you try to ping? Sound like a route problem to me! Ron Rademaker On Tue, 30 May 2000, Steve wrote: > Hello, I'm using Slink on an AMD-233 powered computer.

Re: ethernet error
Hi Kam, you have to specify io port and interrupt for your ethernet card. Via 'modconf': Under net/your_card/Install in the box below "Please enter bla bla bla" write the parameters io=0 irq=n (replace xxx and n with the proper values, maybe you can even omit irq) Via '/etc/conf.modules: Open the file and give the following parameters alias eth0 options wd io=0 irq=n with xxx and n as above Regards, Andree -- | Institute of Geophysics phone: +49 40 4123 4389 ANDREE LEIDENFROST | University of Hamburg fax: +49 40 4123 5441 Geophysicist | Bundesstrasse 55 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | D-20146 Hamburgwww: www.app-geoph.dkrz.de -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
