Networking :: "The Network Is Unreachable" - Floppy Disk Distro
May 28, 2011
I am building a v2.6 kernel floppy disk distro to run on a 1992 computer. FWIW The specs on the computer are
* 66 MHZ processor
* 12 MB ram
* 400 MB HD
* EGA monochrome video card
It runs Linux quite nice actually. I want to get it online with a null modem cable and use the other Linux box as a gateway to the internet. I have networking, TCP and slip support in the kernel. I do now know if I have all the needed network configuration files. I am able to ping 127.0.0.1. If I try to ping the other computer, I get a "network is unreachable" error. Tell me any commands to run on either box and I will attempt to do so. Remember the old computer is running a stripped down toolset since its only two floppies worth.

I've got router with: eth2 - local network (192.168.1.1), ppp0 - uplink (x.y.z.a)
my firewall:
Code:
# Generated by iptables-save v1.4.5 on Mon Jan 11 12:22:25 2010
*raw
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [1038480:666298388]
[code]....
somehow iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth2 -d x.y.z.a -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.1 helps, but imho there should be some other solution. kernel is 2.6.31.6, architecture is x86_64.
P.S. i've also tried iptables -A POSTROUTING ! -d x.y.z.a -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE that didn't help either.

I've been having a lot of trouble with getting wireless networking devices to work. I guess I have a lot of company, since mfrs don't seem to be very interested in supporting Linux.It seems that one common symptom is that, when I try to "Ping" using the Terminal, I get "network is unreachable".Does this mean anything specific, or is it a general output whenever the network is not carrying on two way communications? Does it mean that the wireless interface is down? Does it mean that the wireless hardware is not transmitting? Not receiving?

My ubuntu installation was running fine with the Belkin F7D1101 v1 after using this install method:[URL]..But, after allowing ubuntu to autoupdate many programs (don't remember which ones), the device stopped working. I checked all of the commands in the link above. They are all still functioning. dmesg throws no errors, but it terminates with
<code>ADDRCONF (NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready</code> Are there any network files which may have been overridden from autoupdate? iwconfig wlan0 shows "Access Point: Not-Associated" What output can I show you to help me find the problem?

I have a network printer directly connected via ethernet cable to an Ubuntu netbook, but pinging the printer fails, giving "Host Unreachable". The network light on the ethernet socket is lit green, and there is nothing else cable-connected to the network - just a simple cable connection between the netbook ethernet socket and the Network printer (a HP Laserjet 4200n). Ping works fine if I plug the cable into a different machine (a Win XP box) and ping from there, so it's not a cable or IP address problem.
This sounds simple enough and should work, but I'm stumped. Clues, anyone?

I'm experiencing massive latency/unreachable problems on my Linux machine. It's true for all network connections, here's an example of me trying to ping my router:
PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=15115 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=14107 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_req=3 ttl=64 time=13107 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_req=4 ttl=64 time=12107 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_req=5 ttl=64 time=11108 ms
[Code]...
I've tried now with both the maverick default kernel and 2.6.37-rc5 kernel (both 64 bit), same result. If I take the card up and down (ifup, ifdown) performance is restored for a little while, then it's back. I've tried changing cable, network card and router port but no luck.

I am plagued by the following error when attempting port forwarded connections to my minecraft server. Port forwarding is good and test ok on router based firewall. No iptables entries. Natty N, all updates current.

Some discussion indicate jvm network connection issues related to ipv6, but they are old posts.

I have an old laptop I'd like to try Bodhi linux on from a usb stick. I've got it installed running on a newer laptop so I know the usb install works. I've searched considerably & haven't found the dummy version of how to boot any distro on usb from a floppy. I have used a DSL floppy to boot Damn small on usb. Is there an easy way to boot Bodhi or any other linux distro that is on usb using the same floppy? I type dsl fromusb to get damnsmall to run. Bodhi fromusb doesn't work.

Situation- Laptop (2003 made Toshiba 2410) with dead secondary controller, so no CDDVD drive, BIOS does not support any form of booting from USB. Laptop has working floppy (had to repair it) distros that are good for older units like that that also support booting from diskettes, and then can mount and install from a USB CDDVD rom drive.

I recently installed Fedora 10 and I'm trying to install a driver for my HP Deskjet F4200 Series All in One printer. I downloaded the proper hplip file and when i go to install it in the terminal it gets to the very end where it is trying to install the missing required dependencies. When it checks for the network connection it comes back saying "error: The network appears to be unreachable. Installation cannot complete without access to error: distribution repositories. Please check the network and try again."I am connected to the internet through hardwire cable (also tried it through wifi) and have no trouble accessing internet through mozilla or downloading packages elsewhere. Any ideas on why my terminal won't recognize my internet connection??

I installed Fedora 10 and are using KDE. I struggled to get my network up and running - error for ping was "network is unreachable". I eventually got it right by modifying my ifcfg-eth0 file manually.
Now I'm trying to install with yum, but yum fails to connect, probably because of the proxy. I've set the proxy in <System Settings><Network Settings><Proxy> but it doesn't allow me to also add the authorization - greyed out. I've chosen the manual configuration of proxy.
1. How can I enable or allow the adding of authorization in the proxy dialogs or
2. Where is the proxy file which I can modify from command line (and how)?

I have recently installed 10.04 on an old box I have sitting around and wanted to include it in my home network. After struggling with Network Manager I went in and set up the files manually.
/etc/hosts reads:
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.0.0.01 one.network one
10.0.0.02 two.network two
[code]....
then the IPv6 stuff
/etc/network/interfaces reads:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
[code]...
Now I can access the internet from this machine, but when I attempt to ssh to another machine in the network I get the message "Port 22 network is unreachable" Checking with google I found that there should be some ssh config files. I have one ssh_config but no sshd_config. I don't know if this is relevant. Also "network" is not the name of my network. Changed for anonymity.

I installed openSUSE on one of my work system. The network port wasn't working when I was installing, but works fine now (checked in Windows). But for some reason, I am not able to configure the network. I used both Dynamic and Static IPs (both work fine in Windows) but still no go. I am using Yast Control Center for this purpose. I can't even ping the default gateway when I am using custom settings. When I use dynamic settings, it says Unreachable Network.

setup my static network connection Here are my details :
IP : 172.16.152.137
Subnet : 255.255.255.192
Gateway : 172.16.152.191
Primary DNS : 172.16.0.1
[code]....
but after this setup when i restart my network #service network restart while bringing up the eth0 the following message is displayed before [OK] - RTNETLINK answers : Invalid Argument now it seems either this setup is wrong or not sufficient to set up the connection, whenever i try to ping 172.16.0.1 it showing connect : Network is Unreachable

I want to mount a 'super floppy' which is listed in the disk utility as /dev/sdb.
I am unsure of the sequence here. Should I first mount: mount /mnt/floppy ...or something similar And next edit the /etc/fstab file....or is this step not necessary.
Finally, this is vfat formatted. Should I try to reformat it in ext or leave it as is?

I know this is the 21st century, but there are a couple of floppies I needed to access and Ubuntu 10.10 couldn't read 'em. The floppy mounted, but with a disk in the drive I get "Media not found"....well, they work OK on Windoze. I found the solution on another forum. The latest version of udisks doesn't read floppies, but an old version will. You can't downgrade udisks from Synaptic, but there's a guide to downgrade here:[URL]It worked great, even for a n00b like me

I have one server with 4 network interfaces:
eth0: 192.168.0.0/24 - local lan A
eth1: 200.1.2.3 - internet link - default route
eth2: 192.168.10.0/24 - local lan B eth3: 192.168.20.0/24 - local lan C
Lan A - Default routing to eth0
Lan B - Default routing to eth2
Lan c - Default routing to another server but the workstations has static routing to this server too.
Everything is working fine on Opensuse 11.1 until I upgrade this sever to Opensuse 11.2 ( Reinstall, not update at all ). After upgrade to 11.2 the routing across local lan interfaces simply not work, if you try to ping lan-to-lan you got the message: Network unreachable, even with the IP Forward enable, but the default route is working fine trough the SNAT.
I've come back to Opensuse 11.1 and everything become normal, does anyone have an problem like this? Maybe a bug? PS: I do not try to disable the AppArmor, next weekend I will try Opensuse 11.2 without the AppArmor and post here anyway.

Flashed bios lastnight on 13.0 desktop.

lspci shows ehthernet card
did 'netconfig' and
'route -n' shows default settings as if /etc/rc.d/rc.inetd1.conf were never set.
oh yes, i manually edited this too. mv'd and netconfig'd.

The system is 11.1 32 bit and used to work ok
All the drives function and mount normally under Parted Magic.
Sometimes a cd will mount after 15 mins or so but if it is ejected it will not remount. after that event the dmesg output is 3 times as long. As it is 35K chrs long it is too long to post!
I have changed hardware and cables with no effect.
I have run the repair option on the install disk. I get a cannot find floppy error
It also reports cups, hal, ntp & postfix as errors but if I select repair it still returns the same next time I run the repair routine.
It also says the bootloader is faulty if I select repair I go into an infinite loop so I exit with skip. Anyway the system boots ok and runs just fine apart from the cd/fdd/usb problem

I'm an experienced Linux developer who has run into a little problem. I'm using a National Instruments 8170 chassis, among the normal ports, it has a FDD and USB port but this model does not allow booting from a USB CDROM ( I tried a BIOS update, that didn't help either ). I made this cool customized 550MB FC8 LiveCD wtih X, GCC, various apps, etc. and a kernel 2.6.30 & 2.6.18 boot floppy disk with all the needed drivers. The floppy boots to a shell with all the busybox utils, etc. and detects the USB CDROM media and all its files.
My Question is: How do I get the kernel and initrd on the Live CD to start or boot after booting from the Floppy disk ?, I mean, I want to load linux again but this time from the CD after booting linux from floppy, if that makes sense. I'm just using the floppy to boot and recognize the USB CDROM. This can be done with MSDOS and loadlin but loadlin has an issue(it hangs) with the newer kernels (2.6.18 and greater). I searched for the loadlin source code to port it to linux but was unable to find it on the net.
