FW: [Gllug] Networking SUSE and Windows

[Tom Trainer]

Thanks to everyone's suggestions I now know:

ping COMPAQ works (COMPAQ being the Windows machine, with the cable
modem internet connection);

ping DELL (from the Windows (Compaq) machine) doesn't work, but I do not
know if this matters.  I can ping the Dell using its IP address of
192.168.0.2;

ping smtp.blueyonder.co.uk works
ping www.blueyonder.co.uk doesn't


I cannot telnet one machine from the other as, in both cases, the
connection is refused by the other machine ("actively" refused,
according to Windows).

The following commands elicit these responses on the SUSE machine
(Dell):

telnet smtp.blueyonder.co.uk	- trying 195.188.53.60....Connection
timed out

telnet www.cnn.com		- Name or service not known

/etc/resolv.config		- No such file or directory

/etc/hosts				- Permission denied

dig blueyonder.co.uk		- <<>>; DiG 9.1.3 <<>> blueyonder.co uk
;; global options: printcmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be
reached

ping www.blueyonder.co.uk	- unknown host www.blueyonder.co.uk

traceroute COMPAQ			- traceroute to COMPAQ
(62.30.173.86), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 COMPAQ (62.30.173.86)
0.585 ms 0.681 ms 1.533 ms

traceroute -In COMPAQ		- traceroute to COMPAQ (62.30.173.86),
30 hops max, 40 byte packets Unable to bind to network interface n:
Invalid argument.

Trying to browse to http://216.239.33.100 results in "Timed out while
waiting to connect to http://216.239.33.100".

Trying to browse to www.blueyonder.co.uk results in "Unknown host
www.blueyonder.co.uk"

In summary, I can ping, but not telnet or dig or browse;
I do not appear to have permission to see etc/hosts and
etc/resolv.config does not exist;
Traceroute works, traceroute -In doesn't.

Anything else I might be doing wrong?

I have a Compaq running Windows with a cable modem internet connection,
and a Dell running SUSE Linux.  I can ping the Dell from the Compaq and
vice versa, and I have pinged external IP addresses from the Linux
machine via the Windows machine.  However, I cannot get any connection
to the internet with Konqueror or Kmail.

When I do a route, I get:

Destination	Gateway		Genmask		Flags	etc. etc.
192.168.00	*			255.255.255.0	U	etc.
etc.	eth0
default	COMPAQ.mshome.net	0.0.0.0		UG	etc. etc.
eth0

and when I do a traceroute, I get as far as 192.168.0.1, and then it
just shows me asterisks on all subsequent lines.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
