I am having some problems I suspect are due to network
misconfiguration. Clues and pointers would be appreciated.
I have a LAN on an ethernet hub. The yellowdog box is a PPC
7200, which I assigned 192.168.0.10 . The gateway to my @Home
cable modem is a MAC IIci running IPNetrouter at 192.168.0.6 . I
also have a PPC 6100 running Mac OS and a Pee-Cee, and they run
fine on my setup for networking.
I think my problem is with domain names and dns. I do not know
what my fully qualified domain name would be. On the Linux 7200,
I can view the web easily- dns configuration to the gateway and
home.com routers is fine. With NcFTP, I can download to the
Linux 7200. From the Mac 6100, I can ping something at
192.168.0.10 (the Linux 7200?) and it only takes about 3
milliseconds. I can also connect from Fetch to proftpd which is
on the Linux 7200. (I edited inetd.conf). I did not try uploads
or downloads with proftp...
I had no idea what domain name to use. I took the static ip
number I am assigned at the cable modem, and it does not seem to
have a name. I have fiddled with Linuxconf and it complained
about the "search" line in resolv.conf, which always seems to
come back even if I delete it. So I changed it to
search newcas1.de.home.com
which was the name @home had me put into the Mac TCP/ip control
panel under "Additional Search domains...".
When I ftp from the Linux 7200 to Netpresenz on the Mac 6100, i
come in as root@linuxppc.newcas1.de.home.com, which I think is not
right- but i named the box linuxppc, so I see a trend. And I can
not "put" to the Mac from ncftp.
When I try from the Mac 6100 to open http://192.168.0.10, I get
"Connection refused", and when I try to telnet from the Mac to
port 80 on 192.168.0.10 I get nothing. But ps shows httpd is
running, and on the Linux 7200 I can see it works at
http://127.0.0.1/ . It is configured as "standalone".
Should I send any of my files to the list? What files should i
edit? Also on startup, AppleTalk throws some warnings, and
linuxconf is complaining about nis or was it nfs...
That said, so far I am pretty impressed with yellowdog. I have a
weird monitor arrangement which amazed me by working in X, and it
only took a couple tries to install!
Thanks. Regards, Mike West
