Cant ping linux server from win 2k 1

[LittlePud]

I have 2 servers, one is running win 2k and the other is running mandrake 9. I cannot get them to ping each other,
win 2k IP = 192.168.0.1
ML9 IP = 192.168.0.2 (although eth0 shows 192.168.1.1)
same subnets
connection via hub
hardware known to be good.

can anyone help please

This part confuses me:

ML9 IP = 192.168.0.2 (although eth0 shows 192.168.1.1)

Which IP address is bound to the card? If the IP on eth0 is the second address, does the subnet mask on both machines include both addresses? ______________________________________________________________________
TANSTAAFL!

"The subnet mask on both machines is 255.255.255.0. The address that is bound to the card is 192.168.1.1.

How can we make 192.168.0.2 bind to the card or include both addresses in the subnet mask?"
Thanks

Eth0 is the nic. If it says that its IP is 192.168.1.1, then thats its IP address. Plain and simple.
On the linux machine run ifconfig and you'll see what eth0's IP is.

In order to change eth0's IP address run: setup from the command prompt. This works in RedHat Linux, so I'm hoping it runs on Mandrake as well. If it doens't work then you need to find how to change the IP of the Linux server.
Or if you're more familiar with it, just change the IP on the win2k machine to the 192.168.1.x subnet.

The machines should be able to talk then.

It sounds like you want to run IP aliasing on eth0, which allows you to bind multiple IP's to the same NIC? This is very similar to the method that Cisco uses to add subinterfaces to an interface. You want to specify a new alias, something like "eth0:1". Here's the steps...

[root]@penguin root]# ifconfig

[root]@penguin root]# ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0

[root]@penguin root]# ifconfig

Now, you have 2 IP's bound to eth0.

To make these changes survive a reboot, create the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:1 file and just copy the contents of ifcfg-eth0. Of course, change the network settings in the new file to match what you want.

[root]@penguin root]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0:1
IPADDR=192.168.1.103
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0

[root]@penguin root]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:1
DEVICE=eth0:1
IPADDR=192.168.0.100
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0

I have managed to get the eth0 to be 192.168.0.1 and can now ping the win2k machine. However the win2k machine still cannot see the linux box.
Thanks for all you help on this.

 

[marsd]

When you say "see", do you mean the win2k machine cannot
ping the linux machine? Or do you mean that you are expecting
to see the linux machine in NN or something?

You could try adding an arp entry, try arp/? for details..
arp -s inet_addr linux mac-address ..
and then try again if all else fails.

I cannot ping it

Fixed the problem, stupid me had set the security to very high so it would not allow ping (sorry)
Thanks for all the help
