I seem to remember you having this problem before, and that the problem then was a faulty firewall script. Has it been working since then, and what have you changed? Also, the output from ifconfig on both machines might help regards Anders On Friday 10 August 2001 21:26, Steven Hatfield wrote:
Hi all, I am having a networking problem, and for the life of me I cannot figure it out.
The setup is simple: "fortress" machine = firewall/router "lancelot" machine = workstation
fortress has 2 ethernet cards: eth0 = dhcp eth1 = 192.168.0.1 (out to Intel 8 port 10/100 hub on port #1)
Lancelot has 2 ethernet cards: eth0 = 192.168.0.2 (out to Intel 8 port 10/100 hub on port #2) eth1 = not used (this machine used to be the firewall, but I've switched the machines around.. so this ethernet card is no longer used)
The problem is that I cannot get fortress to ping lancelot, and vica versa. I have to ctrl-c the ping and it says 100% packet loss.
If I do rcnetwork stop, the respective light goes out on the hub for each machine... so the cables are good, and the hub "sees" them. When I ping each machine, I see the hub lights blinking, but I get 100% packet loss.
I'm not running a firewall on either machine, and iptables is installed but not running when I do this.. I'm just trying to get raw connectivity at this point!
I've attached all of the information that I can think to include... please let me know if I can provide any more info. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Steven
