I'm trying to setup a FreeBSD box as a local server for a network using
Windows95 over a ethernet network.
I have setup FreeBSD on one machine with an Ethernet Card (NE2000) on
ed0. The PC's have NE2000 ethernet cards on coax and I'm trying to
run a web server on the FreeBSD box (Apache) and have access from the
PC's on the network.
When the machine boot's it start's the ed0 interface (ifconfig -
something). I selected the apache server on the installation, i'm not
able to connect to it neither from a prompt in the unix machine or the
PC's.
I have FreeBSD 2.1 on CDROM
The network numbers I've used are selected at random because it will be
a local network not an internet one (it's for learning about the web
server).
The configuration I currently have is:
/etc/networks
honnet 193.5.5 # Class C network?
honmsk 255.255.255.224 # Subneting the network
subnet1 193.5.5.32 #
subnet2 193.5.5.64 #
.
.
subnet6 193.5.5.192 #
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
193.5.5.33 ed0lnk.hon.hn
193.5.5.34 main.hon.hn
193.5.5.35 www.hon.hn
193.5.5.66 pc1.hon.hn
193.5.5.67 pc2.hon.hn
/etc/sysconfig
.
.
.
network-interface="lo0 ed0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
ifconfig_ed0="inet ed0link netmask honmsk"
.
.
.
static_routes="multicast loopback"
route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface ${hostname}"
route_loopback="${hostname} localhost}"
.
.
.
the routes thing is the ones that the install program placed
when I do a ping pc1:
No route to host
when I do a ping www:
the machine hangs (no response ^C must be pressed to get prompt back or
the No route to host message appears.)
How can I setup this?
p.s. I'm located in Honduras (Central America) and may be you can send
me answers to sromero@ns.hondunet.net (if I or you are lucky and the
connection is working) or you can send me a response to
codehuhon@igc.apc.org.
Thanks.
