Hi guys.
A while ago I setup some RH Linux machines to work on our LAN. They all
worked fine. I was recently asked to setup another machine from scratch
to work on the LAN. I have modified /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts,
/etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/conf.modules appropriately. I have
assigned it a name and IP at the name server. For some reason or
another it just isn't working, though.
The output of ifconfig looks fine and dandy. However, route has an
extremely long delay before displaying the last line of the "Kernel IP
routing table". Here is a copy of the output (retyped meticulously, as
I don't have network access on that machine):
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
129.78.8.203 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
eth0
129.78.8.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0
lo
default 129.78.11.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
eth0
That last line is the IP of the gateway.
# grep "^254" /var/named/11.78.129.IN-ADDR.ARPA
254 IN PTR br-f09-2.gw.usyd.edu.au.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm currently stumped after
rereading all the documentation and finding that I've (apparently) done
everything correctly.
I can find no difference in those config files I've mentioned between
the new machine and the old (working) machines. So, is there a file
that I've entirely forgotten about and missed in the documentation?
ps. The NIC uses the tulip driver. Both the NIC and driver are the
same as those used by the other machines that work.
pps. It would be great if you could reply both to the list and to my
e-mail address.
