Hi there,
I've managed to get my network working to a point.
When I say to a point, I mean I can ping and see the other machines on
my lan.
But, when it comes to resolving named addresses e.g. optusnet.com.au,
My /etc/network/interfaces looks kind of like this:
Auto lo eth0
Iface inet loopback
Iface eth0 inet static
Address 192.168.0.24
Broadcast 192.168.255.255
However, I think that line above is wrong.
Netmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.0.1
Thanks in advance.
I get an unknown host error. How do I resolve this?

Hi,
What are you using as you're gateway? if its a hardware router such as the
Linksys box, you can have it automatically assign IP addresses to clients
that request it via DHCP. What are the contents of your /etc/resolve.conf
file?

My gateway is a p3 866 used by my partner.
The ip address is 192.168.0.1 and I got that specified in the
/etc/network/interfaces file and the /etc/hosts file.
So I don't get it.
I need her to be a dns for me too but I can't seem to get that part to
work.
Can't even mail out on my linux box.
Gotta use lookout
Grrrr

Hi. Try changing your broadcast to 192.168.0.255.
If your gateway system is running a DNS server, then add its address to /etc/resolv.conf.
If your gateway system isn't running a DNS server, you will probably have to copy
the DNS addresses your gateway uses to the resolv.conf file. I use a linux box as my
gateway, so I can't tell you how to get ipmasq working. I have entries
in /etc/hosts for all the systems on my local network to access them by
name.
Hope this helps.

Shaun,
I'm no expert in this, but here's what I'd look at:
1) Make sure you have the nameserver(s) set for your ISP nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf
2) make sure that your routing table is set for the namesserver(s) to be found. You might add a routing command like this:
route add default gw <gateway-ip-address> ethX
This was a problem I ran into, and the solution that worked for me. If someone else cares to stomp om me/correct me, I'm ready to listen too.
HTH,
