There is an odd problem I am facing. I just realized that I can't ping anyone on the network...not even myself (localhost). :-s
I am using two IP addresses in the form of eth0 and eth0:1 . The eth0 is used for Sify's static IP and eth0:1 for the local network. Amazingly, everything including all internet applications and DC work perfectly. But neither can I ping anyone's IP on the local network (except for Sify's server) nor can others ping my IP. The point is that this is happening only on Ubuntu. These things seem to be on m$. Due to this problem, I can't use applications like vnc and gnump3d.
What could be the problem? I have inserted lines for eth0:1 manually in the /etc/network/interfaces
Ok. I kinda figured this problem out. It was something with the interfaces file. Sorry for the trouble.
Another problem, I cant host web pages from my mcahine to the web as Sify provides me static IP and the address updated by no-ip is 221.135.232.31which happens to be the IP of Sify's server. I guess because of the proxy service Sify uses. So, is there any way I can override this to host my pages perfectly? -- Regards, Sanket Medhi.
Hi Sanket,
I had contacted Sify support regarding this earlier this year. The technical support said that the proxy is the only way to access the internet through Sify and that if I wanted to host anything on my machine I would have to buy a static IP.
And a static IP should not cost you more than a $ per month thats $12 a year. What does sify say about the?
