I'm having some trouble setting up my machine with the UMCP campus dorm
network.
On bootup, the machine stops right after the FS checks.
The system administrators mailed me this information:
IP Address: 129.2.156.64
Gateway/Router Address: 129.2.156.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.254.0
Broadcast Address: 129.2.157.255
Hostname: kzin.dorm.umd.edu
Domain Name Servers: 128.8.76.2 128.8.74.2 128.8.5.2
Time Server: 129.2.156.1
News Server: news.umd.edu
I made these modifications to the sysconfig file (the previous version
was the default):
[snip]
# Set to the name of your host - this is pretty important!
hostname=kzin.dorm.umd.edu
# Set to the NIS domainname of your host, or NO if none
defaultdomainname=dorm.umd.edu
#
# Some broken implementations can't handle the RFC 1323 and RFC 1644
# TCP options. If TCP connections randomly hang, try disabling this,
# and bug the vendor of the losing equipment.
#
tcp_extensions=YES
#
# Set to the list of network devices on this host. You must have an
# ifconfig_${network_interface} line for each interface listed here.
# for example:
#
# network_interfaces="ed0 sl0 lo0"
# ifconfig_ed0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00"
# ifconfig_sl0="inet 10.0.1.0 netmask 0xffffff00"
#
network_interfaces="de0 lo0"
ifconfig_de0="inet 129.2.156.64 netmask 0xfffffe00"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
# Set to the host you'd like set as your default router, or NO for none.
defaultrouter=129.2.156.1
[snip]
# Set to appropriate flags for named, if you have a full-time
# connection to the Internet.
# For most hosts, flags should be "-b /etc/namedb/named.boot"
namedflags="-b /etc/namedb/named.boot"
[snip]
Please excuse me for doing stupid stuff. I am a novice.
