Connection problem

Hi,

I am having trouble connecting to my server running ISPConfig (installed and running). I will leave the DNS nightmare for later...right now I can not even ping either of the static IP's I have configured in /etc/hosts from another machine on a different network (request timed out). I can ping both IP's from the server itself with no errors. This is what is in my /etc/hosts file.

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost www
68.149.224.197 www.hostesp1.com www
68.149.224.198 mail.hostesp1.com mail

Any suggestion much appreciated.

Brian

 

Hi,

I do not have a router installed on the server. Just a connection (2) from the modem directly to the NIC (dual port).

Hi,

A related issue...what IP address(s) does bind listen on? Do I have to configure a dedicated IP for bind so I can setup my own nameserver?

Brian

 

I can ping 68.149.224.198, but not 68.149.224.197. Did you configure the correct gateway for the latter IP address? Also, as I've posted in another thread before, your network configuration (broadcast address) seems to be wrong.

Normally, Bind listens on all IP addresses, unless you configure something else. You can check with

Code:

netstat -tap

on which IP addresses Bind is listening.
And you don't need a dedicated IP address for Bind.

 

hi,

I can ping 68.149.224.198 sometimes...but not all the time. My ISP tells me that 68.149.224.197 is not visible on my modem. They are sending a tech tomorrow....until then...thanks
