Amahi Forums

Dear fellows,

I am troubleshooting my network and now stuck at step 1.3 (ping 68.180.206.184) and 1.4 (ping yahoo.com).
Any idea why this happens?
Thanks a bunch.

Can you elaborate? Did you turn off your router DHCP/DNS server and use HDA for those features? Also, did you release/renew the DHCP lease for your client?

We need more information to help you. What type of install, Fedora 14 Full DVD or Express CD?

I left the DHCP/DNS server on as I read from http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Network_troubleshooting that "Do NOT turn off the DHCP server in your router until your HDA has full network connectivity".
Haven't released/renewed the DHCP lease either. Shall I do this before trying those ping's?

OS is Fedora 14.

Thanks for the help.

I would suggest that you reboot your HDA and check it again. Then if it is working, proceed with turning off the DHCP/DNS server in the router.

If you still do not have connectivity, then there is something else wrong. You still did not state if this was full DVD or Express CD. That makes a difference as the Express CD often does not work the same.

It might require you shutdown your network and bring it back up. Starting with modem, router, then HDA. Once it is all working, then the clients. Could it be that your ISP provider does not allow servers? I have heard that some do not. Also, what type of router are you using?

Last step would be to run the network troubleshooter again and post the results here as an attachment.

This is a full DVD. I tried rebooting but still no success.

Is wired connection needed? (Anyhow, I am trying with wired connection.)
Here's a link that I hope might help troubleshooting: http://pastebin.com/uparVP0K.
What I feel somewhat weird is "nslookup hda" returns 10.0.2.10, not my hda address 192.168.1.10. Hope this might provide some clue.

Also, I created my profile in my Windows XP while installed Amahi in the virtual machine. Does this mess things up?

I am in a rented apartment with mediacom being the service provider. Not sure whether they allow servers. Will try to find this out later...

If you are running Amahi in a virtual machine, is its network interface configured as Bridged or NAT?

For Virtualbox, you definitely need it to be bridged (I'm not sure about other VM's).
