Adding Linux server into NT Domain

[Rogue]

I have installed Caldera Open Linux 2.3 and am having trouble getting it onto my NT domain at work. I can ping the loopback adapter and get a response, but I cannot ping the IP address of the machine that I set up in the hosts and network files. I have no GUI installed (who needs those anyway, I'm trying to learn Linux the hard way!). Can anyone assist?

It sounds likie your network adapter is not configured correctly. Type ifconfig and see what you get. There should be an entry for the device lo and one for eth0. If eth0 is listed, double check the IP settings. When you try to ping the machine, are you using the other machine's IP address or its hostname? It could also be your routing tables. Type route and see if there is a default gateway installed as well as a route to the network the computer will be on.

I can't seem to run ipconfig. It tells me, "bash: ipconfig: command not found". Do I have to run it from a specific directory? Also, when I view the verbose version of the routing table, it lists the IP address as 10.210.8.0 rather than the machine assigned IP of 10.210.9.38 that I entered into the hosts file.

ps-I am using the bash shell and am logged in as root.

Its ifconfig, not ipconfig. 10.8.210.0 might be correct. What is the subnet mask and IP address of this computer supposed to be?

should be 10.210.9.38 and subnet 255.255.252.0

OK, then the routing tables are correct. Is the ifconfig bringing up adapter info?

DUH, stupid mistake. Too much Windows networking . Anyway, I figured it out. I got the proper IP address assigned to my eth0 interface now. Now I can hit this machine from my Windows network.

Cool!
