Can the DNS make it appear to not even find the connection, as though the cable is not connected? The response I get (or lack of) looks like it would if the cable were not connected. Looks like I have a bunch of things to try.

Thanks all,

Bob

I also use ‘setup’ to set a static IP address. But setup hammers /etc/resolv.conf so I just go edit i.e. manually. Should look like so for google dns, use others if you prefer:

 

nameserver 8.8.8.8

nameserver 8.8.4.4

the public (static) IP just fine. When I do it on the Linux box with ACID,
eth0 can't find the connection.

Bob, what you are doing seems correct.  I tend to manually edit files, but there is nothing wrong doing it from 'setup'.  Bottom line, there is nothing in ACID that prevents this from working.  I think you probably just have some field wrong somewhere.

I would approach it bottom up - try pinging the from the AllStar computer to the gateway using IP addresses, then using a symbolic name to test NDS, and work your way up.  I bet you will find some subtle misconfiguraton somewhere is causing the problem.
