Sounds like routing to me... dunno what though, if you use a 2.2 kernel it
should automagically make atleast one route, here is the most simple
routing table I could think of:
leen:~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
eth0
What you need is, one route to the 'local network' something like:
192.168.1.0 for example or 192.168.0.0, also (if you want to connect to
the outside world, a router/gateway to connect too:
'route add default gw 192.168.1.1' for example)
Here is an example /etc/network/interfaces:
# An example ethernet card setup: (broadcast and gateway are optional)
#
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.42
network 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
(taken from /usr/share/doc/netbase/examples/interfaces)
This should set it up correctly.
Also what could be the problem is that you have no/wrong nameservers
configured in /etc/resolf.conf:
nameserver 192.168.1.1
(just an example ofcourse)
Because if you have that problem, then that would also be a reason you
can't connect to the outside world (or inside even, if you use a namebased
system).
> and no special options in /etc/hosts.deny.
hosts.deny, doesn't do anything for you personally, only for people
connecting to your computer.
Just some ideas, before I go to sleep...... ZZZZZzzzzz.
