Mandrake cannot ping win98

[codo]

I've just installed Mandrake 10, the IP is 192.168.0.150/255.255.255.0, while i have Win2K networking with 192.168.0.xxx/255.255.255.0 IP addresses. I have installed Samba on Linux machine and set the workgroup name same as Win2K workgroup/domain name. I tried to ping from Mandrake to one of win2K client (using win98/winXP) but i got 'destination host unreachable' message.'

the Network configuration for Win2K netwrok is :
domain = example.com
name server = NS
win2k server IP = 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0

Mandrake :
Host name : xlinux.example.com
DNS server : 192.168.0.150 (mandrake IP address)
DNS server 2 : 192.168.0.1
search domain : example.com

Did you ping them by name?
Can you ping the adress directly?

ping 192.168.0.1

Do you have a nameserver running for your machines?

That would be unusual for few machines.
Putting the address-name-nicknames into /etc/hosts is sufficient on the linux machine.

192.168.0.1 win98a.example.com win98a
192.168.0.2 win98b.example.com win98b
192.168.0.1 xlinux.example.com xlinux

Can you ping the win98 machines from each other by name?
by adress?
From themself?
Ping the linux-machine from win98?

I tried to ping address directly but still not working, i can ping between win98 machine, also from/to Win2K server, but not from/to linux.
Yes i had nameserver on my machine.
Do you think my Ip configuration on Linux machine already Ok? or there's something to change/add ?

this is my ifcfg-eth0 config
DEVICE = eht0
BOOTPROTO = static
IPADDR = 192.168.0.150
NETMASK = 255.255.255.0
NETWORK = 192.168.0.0
BROADCAST = 192.168.0.255
ONBOOT = YES
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED = YES

in my /etc/sysconfig/network:
nameserver 192.168.0.1 ===> win2K server IP
nameserver 192.168.0.150


/etc/sysconfig/network :
HOSTNAME=xlinux.example.com
NETWORKING=yes
GATEWAY=192.168.0.100 ==> my winXP machine that connect to internet
GATEWAYDEV = eth0

I put 'iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -i eth0 -j loc_dnat' on the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.

already do 'ifup eth0' command

i try to ping linux machine itself, but i got 100% packet loss.

 

[stefanwagner]

what does

ifconfig eth0

show?

I'm using Dlink DFE-538TX Lan card. I already modified the hosts files as you tell and I also tried to ping using 127.0.0.1 from Terminal Program but there is no result/nothing happened.

 

[Chacalinc]

are you running "iptables" or "ipchains", may be you are running the firewall that is preventing the ping and you don't know it..

iptables -L

or ipchains -L

Cheers.

I hope I don't overlook a fact you already told us:

what's your /etc/resolv.conf content?
what's your /etc/host.conf content?

I see that I made a mistake in the second code-block in my first post.
It has to be

192.168.0.150 xlinux.example.com xlinux

of course.

first of all i would like to say thx for your attention on my problem :

my /etc/resolv/conf :
domain example.com
search example.com
nameserver 192.168.0.150
nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 192.168.0.100

my /etc/host.conf
192.168.0.1 ns.example.com ns ===> win2k Server
192.168.0.150 xlinux.example.com xlinux
192.168.0.100 xp1.example.com xp1 ====> this pc as interternet gateway

 

[codo]

so how to disable the firewall??

 

[codo]

thanx to chacalinc, i just turn off the firewall via webmin and now i can ping the win2k network, i also can browse all the win2k client but can't access the folder.

Why my win2k cannot ping MDK machine? also in MDK i ping the localhost 127.0.0.1 but not succeed?
I can browse internet from my MDK because i set the proxy address to my winXP address as a gateway (using Winroute pro). But i no longger cannot access WEBMIN (

https://localhost:10000)

it says conection 127.0.0.1 failed...error detected by Winroute proxy

Thx guys....

 

[stefanwagner]

my /etc/host.conf says

order hosts,bind
multi on

what you displayed is more /etc/hosts.

A posting-error, or is this your real setting?

And you really use example.com as domain?
Should work of course, if made consistently.
And you may change it when working...
