I used to have a working home network of 2+ computers.
Currently I am using a Redhat Masqueraded/ Dialup Gateway Box and
a Win-95 workstation connected by a LinkSys 10baseT Hub.
I upgraded it from RH-5.2 [on a 486dx120] to
RH-6.1
[on a newer pentium box but with the 'same nic'/settings etc ]
I have had serious problems getting the two boxes to communicate.
When I ping from Box-1 to the IP# of box-2
the PING 'hangs' and does nothing.
When I ping from Box-2 to the Box-1 IP#
it 'times out'.
I finally gave up on the RH-6.1 install
and reinstalled the hard drives from the
RH-5.2 installation just to see what would happen...
and I got the same results when pinging either way.
The following is my system
|
|==Box-1 RH-5.2 [ Masqueraded-IPFWADM/Gateway-via 56k modem]
|
>-----|---eth0 IP= 192.168.127.65 Mask= 255.255.255.0
|
|
>--|==LynkSys HUB, 10BT, 5 ports
|
|
|
|--Box-2,
| eth0 IP = 192.168.127.68 Mask= 255.255.255.0
| THE GATEWAY for box-2 is 192.168.127.65
My /etc/hosts contains....
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
192.168.127.65 gw.domain.name gw
192.168.127.68 luk.domain.name luk
'netstat -nr shows....
192.168.127.65 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1500 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 3584 0 0 lo
Can someone give me an idea what could be wrong here?
possibly... 1. bad 'configuration'
2. bad 'network interface card'
3. ???
I'd really appreciate some troubleshooting suggestions.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
