by Hello,
I currently only have 1 machine, but I plan to purchase another one. I
have setup my linux machine with 2 ethernet cards. My problem is in
setting up the print server device. The ethernet address on the server
is printed as 00:80:72:03:6:5C I took the 6 to mean 06. So I used arp
to set up the ethernet to IP mapping, but I can't seem to ping the print
server. I am not usre If I have set up my LAN wrong, or the ethernet
address of the print server is wrong.
My machine's interfaces are:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1

My routing table is:
198.80.71.64 * 255.255.255.224 U 0 0 11
eth0
192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 1
eth1
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 5
lo
default 198.80.71.65 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 27
eth0
eth0 is my connection to the internet, whil eth1 is internal.
When the print server is on, I get these errors on my eth1 interface:
May 4 15:35:48 orion kernel: eth1: bogus packet size: 0, status=0x0
nxpg=0x40.
May 4 15:35:48 orion kernel: eth1: next frame inconsistency, 0x40
These occur about once a minute. I think the print server is
broadcasting something out, which is causing this.
Am I doing something wrong in my network setup? And is there someway to
find out the ethernet address of something through the network?
Thanks.
