General :: VMWare SuSe - Cannot Ping Switch (Ethernet Card)
Aug 23, 2010
I have linux suse installed on VMware, my pc is running Windows XP. I have a switch connected to my ethernet card (also through console cable). When I am on windows I can ping the switch, but from linux I can't. My ethcard is "Bridged" on VMware, I can ping 127.0.0.1.
I configure a Linux Suse 10 box, added static IP, DNS (resolv), gateway (routes) but I am not able to ping other servers by name but nslookup works and the server can navigate on internet check below the problematic server is server-host20
Code:
Other server can ping that server by name just fine
All my network information by the way my server can ping DNS server by name just ok and as you see nslookup works.
I am basically wanting to use my Ubuntu 10.10 computer as a router. Note: Before you say just get a router please note that I am poor/cheap. I have two ethernet connections and one wireless connection on my netbook. I want to share the internet connection that is going into one of the ethernet cards through the other ethernet card and the wireless card.
DSL-->1sr Eth --> 2nd Eth (currently works) DSL-->1sr Eth --> Wireless Card (Adhoc) <--(connects with limited connectivity AKA no internet)
The 2nd Ethernet card already has working internet, but when I connect to the Wireless card (through an Adhoc network), it cannot get an IP (I believe).
I just completed clean install of Ubuntu Linux 10.04 to run Nagios. I have Nagios up and running properly and monitoring my windows servers. I have a couple of questions that I can't seem to find the answer to:
1. I cannot ping the Ubuntu VM from other machines on the same subnet. I can ping the Host system from other machines on the same subnet. I can also log on to the Ubuntu VM and ping all other machines on the local subnet. I can also ping the Ubuntu VM from the VMWare host system.
2. I have installed apache and the Nagios software is running correctly but I can't use a web browser to attach to the Nagios web page from other machines on my local subnet. I wonder is this is related to my inability to ping the Ubuntu Linux machine.
Some things I have tried: 1. Disable IPV6 2. Check to make sure firewall is turned off. I ran iptables -L and see no rules
I have installed fedora core 8 on my system. But i am unable to use LAN connection. here are the results of some of the commands which give error messages
In my red hat Linux machine there was a Lan card using eth0. IP is asign to that network card and it is functioning properly. I add another ethernet card in my linux machineit was detacted and when i use the commandQuote:[root@localhost root] # ifconfig -ait show me both eth0 and eth1 lan cards.I can see Ip address in my eth1 ethernet card but When I enter into
Code: [root@localhost root] # cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and i use ls command it only show me the file ifcfg-eth1 and with
I am testing with Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10 in a VMWare environment. I've installed two SLES10 servers, named sles1 and sles2. I can't get the two servers to communicate, even a simple ping won't work. The "Network Adapter" in VMWare is set to "bridged", a setting which has worked fine when installing WinXP in VMWare and connecting to the Internet. I have configured the Network Settings as follows:
Hostname/DNS tab: -Hostname: sles1 -Domain Name: local -Name server: blank
Routing tab: -Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 (= my router connected to the Internet) SLES2: same as sles1, with IP 192.168.0.22 and Hostname sles2
With these network settings, the two servers seem totally unable to communciate. -When I ping sles2 from sles1, I always get the error message: connect: Network is unreachable -Whatever way I ping, either ping sles2, ping sles2.local, ping 192.168.0.22, whatever, the error message is always the same. -Even if I ping sles1 from sles1 (= "pinging myself"), I get the same error message. -Only if I ping localhost, I get a proper ping result.
Host machine is a "2.6.32-24-generic-pae #38-Ubuntu" and VMware Workstation version is 7.1.2 build-301548.In addition to those three IP addresses(192.168.1.254/24, 192.168.1.68/24 and 192.168.1.221/24) seen on a drawing, there are four identical virtual machines inside the 192.168.1.68/24 machine. Virtual machines are named Olive0-3. Olive0 has IP address 192.168.1.100, Olive1 has 192.168.1.101, Olive2 has 192.168.1.102 and Olive3 has 192.168.1.103.
I install RHEL 5.1 on my system. But my Ethernet card is not detected. I found my Ethernet card is of "ATTANSIC Technology corp L1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter(rev b0). I already downloaded the driver. Someone tell me step by step process, how to install this driver over RHEL 5.1.
Not sure if this post belongs here, but here it is.
Host: Win server 2003 Guest: Ubuntu server
Host: IS able to ping guest. Firewall is OFF. NOT able to access guest (which is a web-server) at browser. Guest: NOT able to ping host. Running a web server, you can check the website: (pegajosa.com) is running under that virtual Linux server.
Problem: guest needs to access host's sql database and/or any resources.
So I just changed my network card settings recently, and I'm now getting no response when I ping the broadcast address for them... the cards are all connected through a switch with IP addresses 192.168.0.x, broadcast 192.168.0.255... ifconfig on all of them shows UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST, but nobody responds to a broadcast packet. Any thoughts?
EDIT: Pinging each machine individually works fine.
I am unable to connect to the internet at work through the ethernet, previously working. I am not sure of the origin of this problem -- the result of an update or something that I did to the network settings.
In the NetworkManager applet is says Auto Ethernet is connected but I can't ping anything by name or ip address.
The wireless still works without any problem.
I have tried following some of the other threads on similar issues but the fixes proposed on them have not helped to date. And I may have mangled some of the settings files somewhat.
Just installed Fedora 14 from the Live CD i686 on my Dell Inspiron 1521. I can't connect to the SpeedTouch 585 on either wireless broadcom card or the wired Ethernet card.
I can connect to it from the same Laptop on the Vista which is on dual boot on the same laptop.
Further confusing is that I ran Fedora 14 and connected to another SpeedTouch today.
Already checked the Channel on the wireless nic and it's on the same one as the SpeedTouch.
I am porting the kernel on my hardware board...dmesg shows that...
mmc0: mvsdio driver initialized, lacking card detect (fall back to polling) mmc0: host does not support reading read-only switch. assuming write-enable. mmc0: new high speed SDHC card at address aaaa
I have a Linux box being used as a firewall with Fedora 10 and shorewall 4.2.10. Secondary IPs are loaded on the WAN (eth1)card through Shorewall NAT and Rules file. The problem is that if there is a network hickup or if the circuit bounces, the primary IP comes back but I have to reload Shorewall to get the secondary ips back. Is there a way so that they can automatically reload or just not go away if the connection bounces?
So I keep reading that bonding ethernet devices is supposed to be easy. I have followed several tutorials and tried a few things on my own, and I can't seem to get it right. I currently have a setup that allows me to ping internally on my network, but when I try to ping externally I get the error: connect: Network is unreachable
Before I bonded the interface my connection worked fine. Here are my config files. I am running centos 5.3 on a virtual machine. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
I just upgraded to VMWare workstation 7. I was previously running v.6, and an older linux version, and everything was working fine. I moved over the same VM files to the new computer, and it doesn't find the ethernet connection. When I start up the virtual machine, I get an error message:
Could not connect Ethernet0 to virtual network "/dev/vmnet8". More information can be found in the vmware.log file.
There log file doesn't say much more:
Jan 07 17:31:36.928: vcpu-0| VNET: MACVNetPortOpenDevice: Ethernet0: can't open vmnet device (No such device or address) Jan 07 17:31:36.928: vcpu-0| VNET: MACVNetPort_Connect: Ethernet0: can't open data fd
[code]....
Once xp has booted, I get the "new hardware" wizard, saying that it found an ethernet adapter. However, it can't find any driver for it. I think this dialog started appearing after I added a new virtual network entry using the "Virtual Network Editor". Originally I didn't even have a /dev/vmnet8 file. Now I do.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid and VMware 2.0 server. I have a an XP virtual machine that is needed for work. When I am at home and I place my cat 5 cable to my cisco catalyst switch, my XP VM recognizes the ethernet card on my laptop and bridges fine with ubuntu and works fine and I can get to my network. When I take my laptop to work and I go to a site and I plug it into a World Wide Packet 311 management port on the switch, my XP Virtual Machine does not see the network no matter what setting I set it too(100 full, 10 full, 10 half and etc). It simply says that the network card is disconnect. Ubuntu see the network fine and I can ping and talk to the network without any issues but the VM does not.
I am using an virtual machine. where I need to ping from one machine to another. earlier I was able to ping. But after going to google.com once, I cannot ping back to this machine.
But if I gave ping -I eth1 <IP> then I can ping.
I cannot install any package, so tell me solution which includes not installing any package.
Just recently got a new rig, and was wondering, is there a way to share internet via a switch. I understand the problems with switches is that they dont assign IPs like routers do, but if my ubuntu machine worked like a router by assigning IPs, could it work? Current setup is as such. I have one ubuntu machine with 1 ethernet port (this shall be the main preferably) 1 mac with a single ethernet port 1 modem with a single ethernet port that cannot assign more than one IP address. And a 5 port switch. Would it be possible to place the modem into the switch, get the ubuntu machine to receive the IP address, and broadcast all other address' to everyone else via the same switch and ethernet cable?
I wanted to split adsl line, but a friend of mine explained that this isn't possible.. So now my question is that can you somehow switch ethernet back to dsl or have a computer convert it so that nothing has to be done to the other modem.
