Hello, I have a strange problem I cant seen to understand what to do about it.
I am running Apache as a web server and everything runs fine when I am attached to my home LAN, using my own machine as the gateway. However, when I connect to the office to use the internet I have to assign our ISDN modem as the gateway. All of the network stuff works fine when I do this, except I cannot connect to my Apachie web server. I get the following message: A network error occured: Unable to connect to server (TCP Error: No route to host) The server may be down or unreachable. I did a trace route, but that didnot enlighten me: starfury: # traceroute 172.16.1.9 traceroute to 172.16.1.9 (172.16.1.9), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 172.16.0.9 (172.16.0.9) 0.168 ms !H 0.138 ms !H 0.1 ms !H starfury: # traceroute 172.16.1.9:80 traceroute: unknown host 172.16.1.9:80 I also tried a few other things after re-reading Net-3-Howto: starfury: # /bin/netstat -r Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface localnet * 255.255.0.0 U 1500 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 3584 0 0 lo default gateway.oa.nl 0.0.0.0 UG 1500 0 0 eth0 starfury: # /sbin/route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 172.16.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 14 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 1 lo 0.0.0.0 172.16.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 60 eth0 As far as I can see the only thing that changes is the gateway address. I am not using DNS at home so that doesnt change. I am using Debian 'Hamm' kernel 2.0.34 and pcmcia modules to match for the network. Do I need to add a route to my web server, or change my configs to represent it? Do I need to have DNS services running?? Can anyone help me ?? -- John Stevenson, Objective Alliance: www.oa.nl "Its grip'd, its sorted.."
