Re: IP Address Question

[Adam Getchell <acgetchell ucdavis edu>]

Hi all,

I was unfortunately looking around in inetd.conf, hosts.allow, and
hosts.deny and now when I try to ping myself or another host I get "Network
is unreachable".

I believe that I uncommented everything that I commented in inetd.conf.
Well, except for finger. Does this matter?

Question: is this a misconfiguration of inetd.conf? Or did my NIC just go bad?

I checked to make sure my NIC was working via a WinNT network boot disk.
Since I can connect to other machines on the network this way I don't think
I have NIC problems...

I note on startup that

Unable to find swap-space signature
swapon: /dev/hdb5 Invalid argument

I suspect this is a separate issue due to some misconfiguration of my
swapfile partition, but one never knows ...

So, does someone have a working inetd.conf they could mail me so I could
look and make sure I don't have problems ther?. Is there a way to load
defaults? Again, I think I replaced everything but finger, but ...

I note that using the GUI tool Network Configurator it says that interface
eth0 is inactive. I make it active, save changes, but relaunching NC shows
the interface still inactive. Okay, where would I make this permanent? Do I
need to add an entry for eth0 on NC Routing?

Is there someplace else I should look?

Thanks,
