I'm trying to set up a couple of samba shares on my server. It's not working, so I started through the Samba checklist, and never made it past the ping test.
So, my clients (all running Windows XP) can ping my server, by IP address or by name.
My server cannot ping any client by name. It can ping some, but not all, by IP address. Trying FQDNs makes no difference.
/etc/resolve.conf
Code:
domain corp.foo.com
search corp.foo.com
nameserver 192.168.41.100
nameserver 192.168.1.100
/etc/network/interfaces
Code:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.21.109
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.21.1
It's probably something simple/stupid, so don't assume anything.
What do I need to check/learn to get my TCP/IP right? TIA.
