[CentOS] DSL battling rojter - help!

2010-07-18 Thread Mark
My internet connection is through a Siemens Speedstream 4100 DSL modem
connected to AT&T (sbcglobal.net), and a Dlink WBR-2310 router.

Late last night, I changed the administrative password on the router,
and for some reason it didn't take right, so I had to reset the router
to get the password cleared.  Unfortunately, this also lost all my
connection settings to the DSL, and I lost the internet for a while.

After some effort and a couple of phone calls to AT&T technical
support, I determined the following:

1. If I connect my CentOS (main) box to the DSL modem, I can log into
the modem and check all the settings, and I can ping sites on the web
from there, but I can't actually get any web pages to load.  This is
using Firefox 3.6.4 (the L&G).

2. If I connect a WinXP box to the modem, it gets to the web without
any trouble.

3. If I connect the router to the modem and run the machines through
the router, no one gets to the web.  I managed to get it to a point
where I could acquire an IP address, but nothing on the web was
visible.

I'll figure out the router problem one way or another, but it really
concerns me that I couldn't get to the web from my CentOS box at all.

Before the router password fiasco, everything was working absolutely
perfectly, and I did not change ANY settings on my machines.

Now, I do have a line in /etc/hosts that sets my machine id, and its
IP address to 192.168.0.100, which is what it normally should be for
access through the router as it is the primary machine on it.  (I need
that because my VMWare SMB is set up to use that for connections
between my virtual XP machine and my CentOS host.)  Could that be the
problem with internet access directly through the DSL modem?  If so,
how do I change this to ensure that the hostname is set properly but
the IP address matches whatever the DSL modem gives back?  How do I
then also ensure that the hostname and address are set right so my
host-VMWare samba connection still work?

Otherwise, what?

Thanks.

No proper default gateway or dns server aettings.  Of which some dsl
modems under linux you have to hard code those settings on the machine.
If your using dhcp and then go to make changes make sure to use
"dhclient" from the cmd line.

Yea winblows does a great job at this.

Right, because the DSL Router is not in Bridged Mode. Enable Bridged
mode on the Siemens Modem.

Your confusing here either you want to configure the machine for dhcp or
static addys. Get the first part working then decide what you need.
"hostname foobar" from the command line.
127.0.0.1   foobar localhost.localdomain localhost  #

Sorry about the "j" - dvorak artifact

Okay, let me try again.

First, here's my (new) /etc/hosts file:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1   mhrichter localhost localhost.localdomain
#192.168.0.100  mhrichter mhrichter.adsl.irvine.sbcglobal.net

If I run ifup eth0, here's what I get:

With this setup, I can login to the DSL modem, which shows the
following configuration:

In this shape, I can ping, say, google.com from the modem and get a response.

But, when I run dhclient, I get this:

And after that I can't reach the modem or the internet.  If I run
ifdown eth0 and then ifup eth0, I get the 192.168.0.100 IP address
back, and I can reach the modem, but not the internet.

(So I'm back on the Windows machine to send this.)

This probably seems pretty basic to many of you, but I'm still a
neophyte at the details of IP under Linux.  IOW, I'm lost.  None of
this was any kind of problem before I reset/mangled the router.

One other question: I notice that the router claims to be 192.168.0.1,
but so does the modem.  Could that be part of the problem, i.e.,
should I change the router's IP address to something else?  I remember
it was 192.168.0.2 before the fiasco

Thanks again.

What do you see with "ip ro ls"? Is there a default route?

Ok you getting a dhcp addy here?  Look at "system-config-network" your
not getting a proper gateway or dns entry.  You will have to probaly
define it manually as I've come to find out with many cheap routers or
either this is a bug in linux.  Use "route" to check for the DFG.

If you Bridge the DSL to function as a Modem Only it does not matter
that goes out the window.  It's no concern when your  in Routing Mode
with the other.  But you can not have two same ips defined as your
seeing so the bridge needs one for management and the router a different
one. So one has to be changed.

Re: [CentOS] DSL battling rojter - help!

2010-07-18 Thread R-Elists
realistically you are not getting any dns

when in dhcp mode, the /etc/resolv.conf file typically will point to the
router ip instead of real dns servers

once you deal with that, you should be ok...

thing is, if you stay in dhcp mode, the next time you dhcp or reboot, the
resolv.conf will go back to pointing at the router ip to get dns

so, as others mentioned, if you disable dhcp mode and hard code your ip,
netmask, gateway, and resolv.conf file among other things, you will be ok

Yes, but it's going to the router even when the router is not in the loop.

route shows 192.168.0.2 (the router) as the DFG.

In s-c-n, the gateways are 192.168.0.2 & 192.168.0.1, in that order.

According to AT&T, the modem has to be in PPP mode to work, and that
does work for XP

I changed the router to 192.168.0.2, but that has no effect when the
router is out of the loop.  I still can't get out thru the modem hrom
CentOS, with or without the router.

Without the router, is the modem the DFG?  If not, what is (or should be)?

I expect it has, many times - wasn't a problem until now.

I was using a static IP with the router, but without it,...

Part of the problem is that these things come up so rarely I forget
the details in between, so how do I set the GW & netmask by hand?

Generally when someone asks "What do you see" in a computer context, the
right answer is to run the command and paste the results. We need, not your
interpretation of the data - which you know is confused, right? - but the
data itself.

And on the above, the mask is: 255.255.255.255 I don't run dhclient or 
anything so I'm not sure where the config file is, but I'd suggest that 
in addition to what's already been suggested you probably want to change 
the above to have a subnet mask matching what comes up under the ifup, 
namely: 255.255.255.0

Aww take out the 192.168.0.1 and leave the 192.168.0.2 that is the
Siemens Modem. Your dhcp range starts @ 192.168.0.100

Well appanently I dont think they know to much. Try PPoE Mode for
Bridging, I have the Manual to it.  Would you like to have it?  Send a
email to my inbox.

"Bridged mode – this means a manual connection must take place each time
you
want to connect to the internet, similar to a dial-up connection.
This is a better way to connect as it poses less of a security risk than
routed mode,
and is easier to change settings such as your ISP username/password."

In other words this is an old Gateway Modem.

I suspect you'll need to define what your requirements are before 
discussing alternatives to some commercial package.   2X runs windows 
apps on a windows server, using the RDP protocol. apparently if 
you're considering VNC and other such things, none of those are 
requirements, leading me to wonder just what your requirements are.

otoh, this discussion really has nothing to do with CentOS per se.

As a quick hack, while you experiment, you could just get the guest to
send you an email on boot with its current IP.  Say, by putting the
following at the end of your /etc/rc.local

/sbin/ip ad | /bin/mailx -s "IP details for `hostname`"

Either userspace NFS daemon should be able to re-export an NFS mount:
