[newbie] diald
I have read the man pages for diald, and i think i have it set up right, but it doesn't work. I start it with the command diald /etc/diald.conf Then i try to go on the net with my MASQed computers and it doesn't dial. If i dial manually the MASQed computers can surf the net fine. Has anyone done much with diald? __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
[newbie] IP MASQ (internet works on clients, not on linux server)
I recently set up IP MASQ on my linux machine. When i connect to the net on the linux box, i can ping the DNS server of my ISP. Also if i type in something like ping www.nintendo.com it says pinging www.nintendo.com (208.135.64.101) (not those numbers, though). That means, its looking up the name, and can resolve the ip of the site, but the ping doesn't work. I can't go anywhere in netscape, and it says "No route to host". On my windows computer, i can open IE, and it will go to any site, just fine, through the linux MASQ server, so it must be working. There must be something wrong with the linux setup, but i can't figure out what to do. Thanks for any help. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
[newbie] Mandrake 7 network problems
I recently upgraded from Mandrake 6.1 to 7. I have all settings the same for my network, but i couldn't get it to work for a long time. Finally i tried turning on DHCP. Now when i turn on my linux box, it searches the network and finds my windows machine that has a DHCP server running. Then it assigns it the address of 192.168.0.2 (since the windows one is 192.168.0.1). If i turn the DHCP off, then the machines can't ping each other. The same thing happens if i shut down and restart the network from within linux. (with ifconfig eth0 down and ifconfig eth0 up). It worked in 6.1! What is going on here? __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
