[Dnsmasq-discuss] Fwd: no IP from Linux/DNSmasq for NT-workstation

[bill evergreen]

Hello Albert,

Thank you very much for the help!


-> Er... Same subnet on both interfaces?
Ok I understand, this is not very elegant... My idea was, that this way no
need to configure routing.

New static IP of the MINB-box eth0: 128.66.12.15
IP NT4: 128.66.12.6



-> Try to ping the NT4 machine from the Mint machine after having disabled
the USB interface on it
Yes it works:-)

mint at mint ~ $ ping 128.66.12.6
PING 128.66.12.6 (128.66.12.6) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 128.66.12.6: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=0.398 ms
64 bytes from 128.66.12.6: icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=0.239 ms
64 bytes from 128.66.12.6: icmp_seq=3 ttl=128 time=0.394 ms


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even i did not expect it to work, pinging it's own USB-interface from the
MINT-machine does work,
even usb0 is in an other subnet :-)

mint at mint ~ $ ifconfig

usb0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 02:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
          inet addr:192.168.42.20  Bcast:192.168.42.255  Mask:255.255.255.0


mint at mint ~ $ ping 192.168.42.20
PING 192.168.42.20 (192.168.42.20) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.42.20: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.031 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.42.20: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.026 ms




What do you suggest to do next, in order to get the NT4 machine a dynamic
IP from DNSmasq/MINT?


Thank you very much for every feedback!

Bill



PS:
Pinging the MINT USB-interface 192.168.42.20(DNSmask not started) from the
NT-machine 128.66.12.6
is not yet possible (host not reachable).
