I have a Debian potato + Progeny box siting in my office, right next to a FreebSD box. Both are conected to the same network subnet. The FreeBSD box can get to the timeserver, Tthe Debian one cannot. I must be doing something really stupid here.
Here is the info of interest (I think) From the Debian machine: Script started on Thu Oct 25 10:36:28 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:C9:48:DD:1E inet addr:170.85.109.24 Bcast:170.95.109.127 Mask:255.255.255.128 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6440 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:203 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:1651128 (1.5 Mb) TX bytes:20119 (19.6 Kb) Interrupt:10 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:8B:E8:79:21 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:11 Base address:0x2000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:100 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:100 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:9118 (8.9 Kb) TX bytes:9118 (8.9 Kb) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# netstat -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 170.85.109.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.128 U 40 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 170.85.109.1 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# traceroute time.westvaco.com traceroute to time.westvaco.com (170.85.66.92), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 * 170.85.109.1 (170.85.109.1) 22 ms 21 ms 2 170.85.115.2 (170.85.115.2) 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 3 170.85.58.2 (170.85.58.2) 23 ms 25 ms 6 ms 4 170.85.68.254 (170.85.68.254) 9 ms 13 ms 8 ms 5 * * * 6 * * 7 Quit [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# Script done on Thu Oct 25 10:37:10 2001 Here is the equivelant daat from the FreeBSD machine: Script started on Thu Oct 25 10:43:37 2001 ]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED];/home/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/stan $ ifconfig -a lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ed1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 170.85.109.104 netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast 170.85.109.127 ether 00:80:c8:bc:2d:6f tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.1 --> 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 Opened by PID 1024 ]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED];/home/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/stan $ netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 170.85.109.1 UGSc 2 4 ed1 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 4 lo0 170.85 170.85.109.1 UGSc 3 19 ed1 170.85.109/25 link#3 UC 8 0 ed1 170.85.109.1 0:e0:16:75:6:84 UHLW 4 1 ed1 1189 170.85.109.24 0:a0:c9:48:dd:1e UHLW 2 72 ed1 828 170.85.109.32 0:d0:b7:91:8b:9d UHLW 0 14 ed1 1117 170.85.109.71 0:d0:b7:5d:64:df UHLW 0 144 ed1 916 170.85.109.73 0:50:ba:a0:7e:20 UHLW 0 0 ed1 1044 170.85.109.104 0:80:c8:bc:2d:6f UHLW 0 47 lo0 170.85.109.109 0:60:97:15:e8:da UHLW 3 283 ed1 1044 170.85.109.127 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff UHLWb 1 29 ed1 192.168.0.1 192.168.1.1 UH 2 0 tun0 205.159.77 192.168.0.1 UGSc 1 0 tun0 ]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED];/home/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/stan $ traceroute time.westvaco.com traceroute to time (170.85.115.30), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 170.85.109.1 (170.85.109.1) 7.407 ms 3.989 ms 3.717 ms 2 time (170.85.115.30) 4.628 ms 4.764 ms 4.902 ms ]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED];/home/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/stan $ Script done on Thu Oct 25 10:43:59 2001 -- Stan Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] 843-745-3154 Charleston SC. -- Windows 98: n. useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition. - (c) 2000 Stan Brown.
