| 16:28.15 | itt788 | I'm trying to install debian wheezy on a computer (ppc), I set another computer as a server and connected it to the one that is going to be installed debian so that the installer downloads the needed packages from internet directly. The server in fact is configured to IP masquerading the internet connection. My problem is that the debian despite having set the server as the default gateway doesn't access the internet |
| 16:28.27 | itt788 | <PROTECTED> |
| 16:28.27 | itt788 | <itt788> g the internet router from it. |
| 16:28.41 | itt788 | There's an already installed linux on that ppc which accesses internet via the IP masquerading computer, its default gateway is automatically set to the internet router but not the server, I don't know why it doesn't have the default gateway as the debian installer. I tried to set the default gateway in the debian installer to the internet router using "ip route add default via xx.Xx.xx.xx" but it says error. |
| 16:33.20 | pahartik | itt788: "ip route add default via <address> dev <interface>"? |
| 16:34.24 | itt788 | yeah I also tried with dev <interface> at the end |
| 16:38.42 | itt788 | the error message is "ip: RTNETLINK answers: No such process" |
| 16:40.00 | itt788 | is I do "# route add xx.xx.xx.xx", I get "route: SIOCADDRT: No such device" |
| 16:41.51 | pahartik | itt788: What does "ip address" and "ip link" say about that device? |
| 16:44.03 | itt788 | #ip address |
| 16:44.18 | itt788 | lo: <LOOPBACK... |
| 16:45.20 | itt788 | 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 |

| 16:47.47 | itt788 | valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever |
| 16:48.29 | markos_ | what's the router address? |
| 16:48.44 | itt788 | # ip link |
| 16:49.24 | itt788 | the same as the two first lines as for ip address for each interface |
| 16:49.47 | itt788 | internet router address is 192.168.2.1, |
| 16:49.54 | markos_ | there's your problem |
| 16:50.05 | markos_ | you have a /24 network trying to access a 192.168.2.1 |
| 16:50.14 | pahartik | itt788: It looks appropriate, but router is not on same IPv4 subnet |
| 16:50.37 | markos_ | change the netmask and it should work |
| 16:50.41 | markos_ | or the ip |
| 16:50.46 | itt788 | netmask of? |
| 16:51.02 | markos_ | ie, instead of 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.0.0 for example |
| 16:51.27 | markos_ | or better, change ip to 192.168.2.7 |
| 16:51.38 | markos_ | or some other 192.168.2.x |
| 16:51.50 | markos_ | but in any case, that's your problem |
| 16:51.59 | itt788 | but the already installed linux on the ppc is having internet connection with the same configuration |
| 16:52.19 | markos_ | I doubt it uses the same netmask and works |
| 16:52.29 | itt788 | let me see |
| 16:53.09 | markos_ | if it did, you would have found a terrible bug in the IP protocol :) |
| 17:11.54 | itt788 | so here is it: http://pastebin.com/F0JxWUqC |
| 17:17.27 | itt788 | the only difference seems to be that extra address being 192.168.3.8 for eth0 |
| 17:18.20 | itt788 | while route -n says the gateway is 192.168.3.5, /etc/resolv.conf says 192.168.2 |
| 17:18.25 | itt788 | .1 |
| 17:18.36 | itt788 | the address of the internet router |
| 17:18.57 | markos_ | resolv.conf only lists the default nameserver, not the router |
| 17:19.30 | markos_ | in your case, 192.168.3.5 is the router, so this is what you should use, not 192.168.2.1 |
| 17:19.38 | markos_ | for your 192.168.3.0/24 network |
| 17:20.17 | markos_ | however, unless you also enter 192.168.2.1 in resolv.conf you won't be able to do any DNS resolution |

| 22:57.17 | itt788 | there should be a problem with my ip masquerading. |
| 22:57.57 | itt788 | I'm trying ubuntu live, it didn't set the right address in /etc/resolv.conf |
