Hi
I have a nasty little problem.
I copied my Gentoo Installation to another Computer because they are nearly identical. I edited
/etc/hostname, /etc/dnsdomainname and /etc/hosts to contain the correct hostname and Domainname and the /etc/conf.d/net to a free IP-adress. Then I reinstalled the dnsdomainnamed. But still at boot it says
The donator computer has the /etc/conf.d/net
| Code: |
iface_eth0="192.168.0.3 broadcast 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0"
gateway="eth0/192.168.0.1"
|
192.168.0.1 is a DSL router. For the network to run on the new computer I edited the file to
| Code: |
iface_eth0="192.168.0.5 broadcast 192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0"
gateway="eth0/192.168.0.1"
|
My /etc/hosts looks like this
| Code: |
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.3 a.domainname a
192.168.0.5 b.domainname b
|
My /etc/hostname
The hostnames are different, the domainname is identical. The Donator runs smoothly, the new one doesn't recognize the domainname. This has no effect on browsing the Internet or mounting Samba shares or whatever. But if I want to start KDE or Gnome, they state an internal communications error and KDE asks if "dcopserver" is started.
Can someone help me with this? Do I have to change the Broadcast adresses? the two machines should be able to run independently. (could someone here explain me what the Broadcast adress is)
Thanks,
