schussat Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 I've gone and broken my tiny office network by installing mdk 10.0. I hope someone can offer some suggestions: My linux PC shares its connection with an XP desktop, and this has worked fine for over a year. With 10.0, however, I can't get the share connection wizard to do a thing -- every time I run it, it tells me that only one network interface is configured, so it won't let me set up eth1. My second NIC is al old ne-compatible card, and has worked fine up until now... I'm not sure if my problems are with re-configuring it, or with the connection sharing, or what. ifconfig gives me this: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:B8:11:99:24 inet addr:128.196.44.154 Bcast:128.196.44.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:b8ff:fe11:9924/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:20387 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1819 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:78 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2743878 (2.6 Mb) TX bytes:286741 (280.0 Kb) Interrupt:9 Base address:0x1000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:95:AA:25:B0 inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::240:95ff:feaa:25b0/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:4 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:4 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:618 (618.0 b) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x300 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:140 (140.0 b) TX bytes:140 (140.0 b) So I think that eth1 is working, but I'm really not sure at this point. I tried skipping the wizard and setting up shorewall directly, using the two-interface startup configuration files, but had no luck there, either. Anybody have any suggestions?

SoulSe Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Have your tried pinging eth1 from the XP box? Where did it get it's adress from? DHCP or manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schussat Posted June 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Thanks for the response, SoulSe -- I got it working late last night. It was a serious case of Error-Between-Keyboard-and-Chair... Argh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
