I have my Kub8.04/3.5.10 box and an XP box greeting the outside world through an old Dell P11 running Debian (router/firewall). I just tried
ssh: debianbox: Name or service not known
I've had this happen before: for some reason the hosts lists gets changed by a distupgrade and I have to edit it back into shape
problem is I now can't remember which file has that hosts info
Soooooo ... if someone tells me the file I _PROMISE_ this time I'll record it so I don't have to ask again ...
[MODIFY]
now after digging around Search, I've got these in my sights:
</etc/network/interfaces >
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.57
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.11
auto eth0
# I don't see anything blatantly wrong here- address and gateway are as expected
< /etc/hosts>
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 zed
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
this is odd
zed is my proper hostname, but it used to have the ip and name of both the debian box, and my wife's xp box. I know this, because I remember typing them in. The date on the file is back beginning of last August, so it doesn't think it got changed since then
puzzle.
should I just add them back in
# ipaddress hostname
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 zed
192.168.1.11 gateway box
192.168.1.14 wife's xp
and take notes, or is their something amiss here?
