Strange networking issue on red hat 7.2 can anyone help?

Post by chadp.. » Fri, 14 Dec 2001 04:47:56



This is strange and I am lost for words on it. I have worked a great
deal putting Red Hat  Linux 7.0 and earlier on computers connected to
internal private networks and onto cable modems.  

I am now working on building and networking a Red Hat 7.2 computer for
the company's new mail  and web server. I have 6  Ip addresses
subnetted for the company. ANd on the inside network they run a class
A private  addressing.

The external Real world IPs that I have are:

12.21.124.56 to 12.21.124.63   this is a /29  subnet  which is
255.255.255.252

also have two more out side IPs 12.21.124.32 /30  to 12.21.124.35 /30

Inside uses a 10.10.10.1 to 10.10.10.254  

The Linux box would be on the outside, currently on the 12.21.124.60
IP address.   Its gateway is 12.21.124.57 - our ISDN router
the subnet is  255.255.255.252
dns on 12.21.120.2

I had two card in it, then took one out.  Using 3com 3c905b cards.
With just the one netcard, I tried it on the 12.21.124.60 /29 network.
I could ping local host and ping the IP 12.21.124.60 but could not
ping the router or anything else. I installed rh 7.2 with "no
firewall" and I can not get it to see the Internet.

I even tried to put it inside our network on 10.10.10.17 and all
proper configurations for the internal network as I do with all the
windows machines.  It did not like the 10.10.10.17 ip and also does
not like the  /29  subnet with my 6 usable Ip addresses.

Any clues or suggestions?

I bet if I took it home to my cable modem and set it up, it would
work.

Never seen anything like this.

ifconfig and route -n first

then try running tcpdump -n -i eth0
whilst that is running try pinging the ISDN router.

I cannot see initially why it would fail.  I would double check the
netmasks first, /29 is .248 not 252 (which is /30)

1. Samba - Red Hat sees Win2k but Win2k cannot see Red Hat 7.2

After installing Red Hat 7.2 I configured Samba. I can mount and browse
shares on a Win2k Pro system on the network. However, the Win2k system
cannot see the Red Hat system.

I can ping the Red Hat system from the Win2k system both by name and IP
address. However, if I search for the Red Hat system from Windows Explorer,
either by name or IP address, it is not found.

I am a Linux novice and have run out of things to check. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
