Fedora:
Before I switched to F9, all my FC5 machines were happily chatting with
each other through a Linksys WRT54GL but none of them could see the net.
I upgraded one of them to F9 and it sees the net and can ssh to the
others. But the other two machines can no longer ssh into it F9 system.
I tried to play with things to fix it, but the best I could do was kill
the network connection so that the F9 system can't see the other machine
or the net. In other words, I screwed up. Since I can't figure out how
to get the network back alive by restoring prior conditions, I am
resigned to yet another re-install (the price of learning is lots of
starting over...)
That being said, I was hoping to get a bit of advice.
The following is the F9 /etc/hosts file after 1) a fresh install of f9
and 2) my additions (noted with comments):
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 chowder.localdomain chowder localhost.localdomain
localhost chowder
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
#-# 14sep08 (paul): self
192.168.2.11 chowder
#-# 14sep08 (paul): other machines available
192.168.2.10 chalupa
192.168.2.12 parsnip
The next section is from one of the FC5 machines:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
#-# self
192.168.2.12 parsnip
#-# other machines available
192.168.2.10 chalupa
192.168.2.11 chowder
I am suspect of the "localdomain" in the F9 version, but trying to play
with that is what killed network (LAN and internet) ability.
I went through the system->admin->network stuff and couldn't see
anything that looked wrong (then again, do I know what is right?)
As always, suggestions appreciated (including general pointers as to
where to go online to learn more about all this)
Thanks,
Paul
