I created router 192.168.2.1/24 in Switch2. Switch1 is connected with 1.x/24 PCs. PCs are configured with 1.1 gateway. Switch2 is connected with 2.x/24 PCs. PCs are configured with 2.1 gateway. Both Switch1 and switch2 are connected by a trunk to carry VLAN100 data.
1)I have few PCs of 1.x connected to say Switch1 Is it possible for PC with IP 192.168.1.100(x) to ping PC with IP 192.168.2.100(y)?What are the configuration required in both switches to make them communicate ? All the device in both the subnets should ping/communicate with each other.
2)Move PC (192.168.1.100) to switch2. Move PC (192.168.2.100)to switch1.What will happen when PC(1.100) ping (2.100) and vice versa?What will happen when PC(say 1.80 in switch1) pings PC (say 1.100 in switch2) and vice versa? What will happen when PC(say 1.80 in switch1) pings PC (say 2.100 in switch1) and vice versa?
I installed Redhat Enterprise linux server5. it has two LAN card and two subnet connected to these two LAN card. i can browse network from these two network easily. But i created VLAN on one network card.Now i cant browse network from these VLAN subnet.

The related services must be restarted automatically for the new IP Address and Subnet Mask to take effect. No user name and password should be asked for when using that Web Interface. How would you do it?

This included lots of hidden (starting with '.') folders, and in many cases they are config folders for packages which I have not installed on the new machine. They are taking up space, so I would like to delete them, but to go through manually and figure out which ones I need would be very laborious. Is there a way to find, and perhaps delete, config folders for packages that are not installed?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe are running samba on a Fedora release 8 (werewolf). The samba server is located on a dmz subnet off of my Cisco ASA 5510 firewall. From my inside network I have no problems connecting to the samba shares. However when someone uses a VPN connection they cannot connect to the samba share. VPN users are assigned an address from a pool which has no problems getting to the dmz based samba server. All ports required are open on both firewalls (Samba server and PC with VPN connection.) I consistently get an error saying Windows cannot find the ip address of the samba server. I have looked at the samba logs in varlogssamba and found a complete list of connection attempts listed by ip address. These addresses match the pool addresses that are being assigned by the firewall when someone tries to connect using the vpn.
Each entry has this:
lib/access.c:check_access(327)
connection denied from (ip address that is assigned by firewall)
smdb/process.crocess_smb(1062)
connection denied from (ip address that is assigned by firewall)
I checked the smb.conf to make sure the subnet the pool addreses is listed in the global section. It is.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have 2 x PCs and a NAS. Both PCs have 2x NICS. PC connectivity to Internet is via an ADSL router. Current config: Thus far (by choice) I've used static IPs in the 192.168.168.x range for my internal network, connecting all PCs and NAS via a jumbo frame enabled gigabit switch. This has facilitated moving data between the PCs and the NAS at high-speed. As both PCs also required Internet access from time to time, both are also connected to the ADSL router using the 2nd NIC and using subnet 192.168.1.x. I'm sure some of you are shaking your heads by now, but it works well and has been entirely hassle free.
However, I've an app running on the NAS that I'm keen to get Internet connected also. As my existing network devices are not using DHCP I figured the simplest method would be to change my ADSL router configuration such that it is in the same 192.168.168.x subnet, change its DHCP server settings to serve IPs in the same subnet (but in a restricted range I know won't cause any conflicts with the static IPs) and problem solved. On changing the ADSL router confiruration with all machines already booted up and configured as described above, everything worked. All devices could see one another, and access the Internet. On later rebooting the system this no longer works
- Internet access is fine but PCs don't see one another or the NAS. If I disconnect the ADSL Router from the PCs then all devices see one another again.
- Does having 2x NICS on a single device each assigned unique IPs in the same subnet create an issue and can it be overcome? I'd like to overcome it because making one of my PCs the gateway forces me to have it on anytime another device needs access.
- If I'm forced to use Internet connection sharing with one PC on the network connected to the router, how do I best configure this?
- One of the things I need to retain is gigabit connectivity between the PCs and PCs and the NAS (currently achieved by 192.168.168.x subnet being linked via gigabit switch).
I am trying to make Apache web server, it's work but cannot be browsed outside my subnet.I am on huge LAN network, not sure how it works, know it have TL-SL2428WEB Smart Switches and probably some kind of DHCP, every user have maximum 64KB, just plug UTP cable, and I have static address on that subnet like: "my.sub.net.ip" witch I know from Java NetworkInteface class or when I try to update IP on my www.dyndns.com Dynamic DNS account with ez-ipupdate, but my subnet is connected to Web with another IP like "my.isp.provider.ip" witch I get from whatismyipaddress.com and I check that is my Cable ISP provider web IP. It is possible that there is more subnet layers between these two IP.Problem occurs when I try to access to my web site from another computer. When I set dyndns host name to be my.sub.net.ip or use localhost everything works fine from my computer, I can access my web site, Apache work, I can use ssh. To illustrate you it work like this: Go to DNS server, find my host name, get my "my.sub.net.ip" and say "This is actually my localhost IP, no need to go on Web, lets loopback". But when I try from another computer even from my college's computer on same subnet it don't succeed. When host name is set on "my.isp.provider.ip" of course nothing works.
We, users of LAN, don't have access to our LAN nor we have admin. For example sometimes we stuck without net and we cannot even press reset button on switches or something like that, we have to wait for day to they, owner of LAN, order some professional to do that. It seems they are just user of Cable TV and IP, and they bay and install LAN without any kind of admin. Also, I use Fedora 13, with httpd, ssh and others packages that comes with Fedora 13 DVD. I know to write bash scripts, use yum, very good in C++ and Java, great programmer, but newbie in networking, , a very little Perl, html, web servers, I heard for DHCP, DNS, NAT, IP forwarding. How you see it is problem in my lack of knowledge about networking. I hope that I succeed to describe by problem with enough details. Please, try to help me. I be very graceful for any kind of help. Don't afraid to bomb my head with any kind of information hard to understand.
I've rent a server from a Germany data center,They use a single IP as their gateway that is not in range of my servers IP,Strangly server is working well and when I use 'route -n' command the gateway which is in other subnet appears properly./etc/sysconfig/network contains no gateway IP and I don't know how they set the default gateway while after reboot the gateway is the same, also the IP is static and there's now DHCP.I need to know how they did it so I can do the same on my VPSes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 2 NIC's in a box. One of them is external and doesn't matter for this question I don't think.
The other NIC is 192.168.100.3. It hosts an iSCSI Target and SMB Share on my LAN. It's works great.
I have another PC that has NIC at 192.168.100.101 and it hosts my DHCP (Scope: 192.168.100.5-25) server for my LAN.
I have a hardware firewall at 192.168.100.1 and it serves inet to the LAN on a different external connection.
So...
I currently have a WAP (cheap p.o.s. netgear router in WAP mode that keeps overheating). I want to eliminate the WAP device and add a WiFi NIC to the Top PC above.
So, on the first system I would have:
NIC 1: External IP and External Gateway
NIC 2: Static IP 192.168.100.3
Proposed WiFi NIC 3: Static 192.168.100.4
Question:
If I bridge NIC 2 and NIC 3 like this:
# brctl addbr br0
# brctl addif br0 eth0
# brctl addif br0 eth1
Then I simply put the WiFi in Ad Hoc, will another WiFi in Ad Hoc (for example my laptop) be able to "see" 192.168.100.101 (DHCP) & 192.168.100.1 (Gateway) (via WiFI 192.168.100.4 through the bridge to 192.168.100.3 and on to the LAN)?
Also, can the two NIC's be bridge together even though they are the SAME subnet?
I have read NUMEROUS tutorials and explanations on the net about this, but they all seem to assume an informed understanding of IP networking. I have limited knowledge (basically I know how to set up my own home network and use the normal commands for troubleshooting.).I am doing a project at work which requires networking our new store with our original store (throughA VPN).I am just trying to understand in the most basic way how sub netting and subnet masks work. I don't believe this is necessary knowledge for setting up the network via VPN, but I would just like to understand it and I feel like I will be prepared to study further. basically:
1. How does a network mask isolate a particular host on a network?
2. How does changing the mask allow for more addresses to be used?
For example, if my address is, say, 192.168.1.36, how does 255.255.255.0 isolate my machine to receive traffic? I suppose what I am really not understanding is how it does this with more than one host on the network with the same mask.
I installed apache2 on my Ubuntu machine and I am trying to access the server from another subnet. The server is connected using ethernet and has a static ip address. I can ping from the server to any machine in the other subnet but non of the machine on that subnet can ping the server. iptables does not seem to be running
Code:
# service iptables status
iptables: unrecognized service
and its rules are
Code:
# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
[code]....
What is preventing my machine from being accessed from the other subnet?
This is slackware 12. I'm trying to share my internet connection (on eth0) with a computer connected to eth1.
eth0 is 192.168.0.101, eth1 is 192.168.1.100 (different subnets).
But when I try to make eth1's default gateway the same as eth0's, see the error I get code...
I have some trouble setting up a printer on my network. My network is divided so that all wired connections are in one subnet, while all wireless devices are in another. My printer is Canon MP640 and is connected via wireless. When I use the network printer scanner utility from Canon, it will only scan my wired subnet, and is thus unable to see the printer. I can ping the printer, so there is no problem with subnet segregation.
On my router, I have Debian and iptables. My initial thought was that I could somehow set iptables to just forward all packets to an address to my printer. This address, of course, wouldn't exist "physically". But I have no idea whether or not this is the right approach. A suggestion I received from a colleague was to set up forwarding of broadcast packets. However, I am unsure whether this will have an impact on the wired subnet. If any of you could conjure a magical iptables rule for this or have suggestions other than plugging the printer into the wired net
