Software :: Local Machines Showing Up With External Addresses?
Nov 9, 2009
I'm running a "relatively standard" home network environment. That is, I've got a DSL connection to my ISP, and am running a router/NAT environment that connects a number of machines -- Mac, Windows, and Linux -- to the external network. Internally, all the machines have addresses in the range of 192.168.0.x. However, because of the static/NAT address mapping, the machines whose internal addresses are mapped to external static addresses show up at external hosts as 216.xxx.yyy.zzz (the address range assigned to me by my ISP).
The other machines, which are on the network via NAT, show up as 66.xxx.yyy.zzz, the address assigned by my ISP. Finally, I'm running a local DNS server that handles addressing issues for my domains and sub-domains that are hosted on local machines. All the machines use this local server for their DNS, with my ISP's DNS server as secondary. All of this is to say that it's more or less a pretty typical configuration, and, in general, everything is working fine.
Here's where it gets tricky:
* Machine A is a Fedora 10 linux box, which hosts an externally visible domain and runs, among other things, a web server. It's assigned to one of the addresses that's mapped to a static IP address.
* Machine B is a MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard (10.6). It typically runs at 192.168.0.6, which is NOT one of the addresses mapped to a static address, but "just" a NAT address.
Now, suppose Machine B hits the web browser run by Machine A: the log files should show the traffic arriving from the local address, 192.168.0.6. However, it instead shows up as coming from 66.xxx.yyy.zzz, the external NAT-affiliated address. This seems wrong, especially since all the other machines on my network show 192.168-type addresses when hitting the web server.
I now change Machine B's address to 192.168.0.5 -- one of the statically-mapped addresses. Browsing traffic is now arriving from 192.168.0.5, which is (I think) as it should be. I now change Machine B's address back to 192.168.0.6. The web traffic on Machine B is now reported to be arriving from 192.168.0.6 -- NOT 66.xxx.yyy.zzz. It's complicated by the fact that I don't know where to look for the problem. All the log files on all the machines seem relatively normal; there are least no glaring problems screaming out from them.

I'd like a way to see all of the devices on my local network and what their local IP address is. I recall that I used wireshark to troubleshoot a similar problem a while back, but it doesn't seem to have a way to see all of the devices- only the traffic. (I'd like to do this without having to physically interface with my router if possible, and I am in an encrypted network if that matters)

I usually monitor machines in the network via ruptime. But one machine (lambda) acts very odd. It never shows up in the output of ruptime, unless ruptime is run from a particular client (delta). For example, say I am logged in lambda. This is what the output of ruptime and few other commands are:
[Code]...
Linux delta.grp.vpncc.org 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 #1 SMP Tue May 20 09:35:07 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Only difference between delta and other machines is the fact that delta is the file server that hosts the nfs directories shared in all the machines. All the machines are in the same subnet. All of them run either RHEL4, RHEL5 or CentOS5. lambda runs RHEL 5.4, delta runs CentOS 5.2. I tried restrting rwhod daemon on lambda, but no change. why lambda is playing this hide and seek with ruptime?

I'm trying to get the Windows machines on my network to access hostname.local addresses. I want to do this without setting up extra software or settings on the Windows computers.
I already have dnsmasq on my server handling all DHCP and DNS requests. How can I get dnsmasq to return an IP address for a .local address?

So in an effort to increase the speed of my netbook, I removed Ubuntu and installed Lubuntu on it. When I tried to mount my samba share as I normally do, I noticed it wasn't able to connect - mount error(113): No route to host. Sensing something fishy, I attempted to ping the machine (both by name and by IP) - Destination Host Unreachable.The machine I'm trying to connect to is using Ubuntu 10.04 x64. I attempted to ping the other way and it was able to connect to the netbook just fine. When the netbook was using Ubuntu, it was connecting fine. My iptables check out ok, but here is the output of iptables -nvL:
Code:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 213 packets, 21635 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
[code]....
Does lubuntu have some funky firewall built in to it that I can't find? (I've Googled for information on a Lubuntu default firewall and can't find any)

I was setting up a new Linux box and router today and when I was looking to see if my custom DNS servers were being handed off in DHCP to my Ubuntu box I realized that the isp was shoving down onto my machines their dns suffix. Since I have configured my dhcp scope in the router to hand out a local dns suffix I am not sure why my suffix is not being used. Is there a way to use the .local dns suffix for both my linux and windows machines with dhcp instead of having to manually set the suffix?

I have a script which runs a few other scripts (in subfolders of the first script) in order to mount some unix/linux shares) Anyway, when I run the file from rc.local and try to pipe the output into a file the file is empty and the shares are not mounted. however when I run the file it mounts everything.... Also, the script doesn't work on my wireless clients...

I am new to networking and trying to setup my own local area network using virtual box machines. I have installed BIND 9.7.3 using yum in Fedora (dns server) and created all necessary .conf and zone fil es. I am successfully able to resolve domain names on this host machine (dns server). for example dig @dns.domain.lan client1.domain.lan correctly resolves domain name.

I have a DNS server on my LAN at 192.168.140.25. Going by the example in the O'Reilly DNS and BIND book I bought, I set up the domain movie.edu and toystory.movie.edu. To my great surprise and delight, I can access toystory.movie.edu in a browser from another PC on the LAN (as long as I add 192.168.140.25 to the DNS servers). Encouraged by this victory, I decided to try to set up another subdomain at coupon.movie.edu. This kind of worked but not completely. Interestingly, I can get to both toystory.movie.edu and coupon.movie.edu on my server, but on my PC, I can only get to toystory.movie.edu, not coupon.movie.edu.
Here is my db.movie.edu:
Code:
$TTL 3h
movie.edu. IN SOA toystory.movie.edu. al.movie.edu. (
1 ; Serial
3h ; Refresh after 3 hours
1h ; Retry after 1 hour
1w ; Expire after 1 week
1h ) ; Negative caching TTL of 1 hour
movie.edu. IN NS toystory.movie.edu.
movie.edu. IN NS coupon.movie.edu.
;
; Host addresses
;
localhost.movie.edu. IN A 127.0.0.1
toystory.movie.edu. IN A 192.168.140.25
coupon.movie.edu. IN A 192.168.140.25
And here is my named.conf:
Code:
options {
directory "/etc/bind";
};
zone "movie.edu" in {
type master;
file "db.movie.edu";
};
zone "140.168.192.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "db.192.168.140";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "db.127.0.0";
};
zone "." in {
type hint;
file "db.cache";
};
#include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";
#include "/etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones";

I come from more of a programming background but have been giving the task of sending backup results from a linux box in an email to external email addresses, I have spent days looking trough google for info but cant seem to find anything simple, I have looked at postfix but because I don't understand networks, hosts, nameservers etc. What I need to do to allow mail get sent from the linux box to external mail address. I have outlook connected to an exchange server on windows and I can ping the linux box from my windows command so surely it cant be to much involved.

I have Fedora 9 on an external disk, I use it at home on a desktop and at work on a laptop. It works great except that the two machines have different display adaptors. I currently have the xorg.conf arranged so that I manually comment out the driver that I am not using. It works, but I would like not to have to edit the xorg.conf every time I switch machines:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder63) Thu Feb 5 00:18:17 PST 2009
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display
[code]....
I have tried googleing for something but cannot arrive at a satisfactory search phrase to yield the required results. I looked at [URL] and tried multiple Device and Screen sections but could not get it to work.

In addition to 2 "desktop" machines, I recently set up an Ubuntu Server with Apache2, but when I try to access my www.homepage from a machine locally connected to the same router (via both wired & wireless interfaces), I am directed to the Login page of the router, not to the www.homepage. Yet, when I access the www.homepage from elsewhere, my www.homepage is accessible.
I can browse to my www.homepage by entering the local IP address into browsers on both local machines, so I know the machines are talking to each other. Just not letting me get in via normal internet browsing channels.
Server: Ubuntu 11.04
Webserver: Apache2
Router: D-Link DIR-615
IP Address of: 192.168.0.110 (reserved on router, static on server)

I recently installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 with the intent of using it as a platform for running a couple of Windows XP virtual machines along with Linux/Ubuntu.
I had no problems getting the server installed. Had no problems getting the network up and running so that I had access to both my internal network as well as external connectivity to the internet. Had no problems getting a VM installed and putting Windows XP inside of it. Had no problems setting up a bridge between the WinXP virtual machine and the physical ethernet card (eth0).
What Im having trouble with is figuring out how to bridge from multiple VMs AND Ubuntu natively through one physical ethernet card.
When I set up the bridge, it knocks out the static IP address of the ethernet card that was set up initially with Ubuntu when first installed before the VM was created and installed. Therefore, connectivity within Ubuntu natively is lost.
Similarly, am having trouble figuring out how the second VM (also going to be running WinXP) is going to get its connectivity since it doesnt seem to like me setting up 2 bridges to the same physical ethernet interface card.
I need all 3 machines to have static IP addresses and be visible/accessible from the external network for either web/mail/dns/etc servers on the Ubuntu side and for remote PC control functionality on the VM side.
I have tried setting up alias ethernet interfaces (eth0:1, eth0:2, eth0:3) with static addresses which work fine from native Ubuntu in presenting multiple IP addressees, but it seems that Im not permitted to bridge to these alias interfaces.

I have a rather large USB drive that I'd like to be able to use across the different machines I own. I'm having a hard time figuring out what would be the best file system to use on it to be able to read/write things from the 3 OSs I'm in contact with: Windows, Linux and Mac.

I am running Valgrind on my program. It shows me two errors but mentions only addresses against them and not actual code even on a debug build.
The output is

I am working on a Debian 2.6.26-19 Distribution with exim4 as MTA. After a system restart a problem occurred with delivering emails to local addresses. These local addresses use a 1and1 mailserver for email. The MX records for the local domain are set correctly but exim does not use a DNS lookup for these addresses because it identifies them as local addresses. I figured this out by executing the exim4 -d -bt command. The dns lookup part of the result looks like this (I replaced the actual address with placeholders):
[Code]....
The eventual result of the exim4 -d -bt command is: [user]@[domain.ext] is undeliverable: Unrouteable address How can I make sure, that exim4 makes a DNS lookup for the local addresses instead of skipping it? I know that I have to edit a exim4 configuration file, but I could not figure out which and how.

I was trying to add a virtual PDF printer and show I installed cups-pdf. Supposedly it is supposed to list the virtual pdf printer in the System->Administration->Printing dialog when I choose Add printer.But it does not do that. All it shows is the remote printers on my file server.So, opened up a web browser and when to localhost:631 and used the cups interface to add a virtual pdf printer, but still it does not show up in the printing dialog.

I found that I needed to connect them to the same workgroup, which I now have and for the most part it works. However, for one of the computers I do not want to use a .local domain, rather I need to use a .org. But no matter what I do, other computers on the network think it is a .local hostname. Currently the /etc/hostname on the computer file is as follows:

Here is a screenshot of an ipscan done from another computer on the local area network so you can see what I'm talking about.

I wanted to be able to have separate NICs with separate IPs connecting to separate gateways on a machine so I could put an ftpd on each one. I tried binding an ftpd to each, and running separate instances of the ftpd. I tried virtual hosts.
NOTHING worked. I could either use one ftpd or the other. I could either connect via ssh on one IP or the other. the second I turned one NIC off stuff would work again. I messed with basic iproute commands, andnothng worked until I got this script to run, which allowed me to use each NIC independant of the other.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#ip route flush all
ip route del default dev eth1
ip route del default dev eth0
ip route del table 1
ip route add table 1 to default via 10.10.10.1 dev eth1
code....
But now, samba client doesn't work. cifs mounting doesn't work either. It can't connect.
BEFORE I ran that script, I could connect via ssh, or to the ftpd running on the machine using a LOCAL IP - 10.10.10.2. AFTER, I have to use the external IP, or I cannot connect. I know that has something to do with it, but I do not have the advanced linux routing knowledge to redo the script or come up with a solution.

I've installed Debian inside Virtualbox on Mac OS 10.5.
I want to set up networking so I can (a) reach the outside internet from inside Debian (Virtualbox), and (b) reach the virtual Debian from my Mac. (I don't need to be able to reach the virtual Debian from anywhere but the Mac.)
I can't seem to figure it out. If I set the Virtualbox networking to "NAT", I can reach the outside world from Debian, but I can't reach Debian from Mac OS. If I set the Virtualbox to "Host Link Adapter", I can reach Debian from Mac OS, but I can't reach the internet from Debian.
I'm sure I've set up the way I want before, and I don't remember doing anything special for that, so I must be missing something simple today.

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'm running Telnet Server, VFTP, and VNC on a Fedora 14 box. The box's internal IP is 192.168.1.222 This machine is configured to live in the DMZ, The firewall is up on both the router and this box. I can remote in from home using our external IP. I can FTP. I can Telnet. All using our external IP. When i'm in the office, i can remote in using our external IP. I can FTP. I can Telnet. Again, all with the external IP. If i attempt to telnet 192.168.1.222 i get a connection refused. i can ping the 192.168 address
nmap tells me that all 1000 ports on 192.168.1.222 are closed
nmap tells me that my expected ports are open on the external IP.
.... This is a relatively new conundrum as it "used to work", and only appears not to since our last reboot (power outage). I know i have to be missing something simple here, but i differ to the experts.
