Topic: Plz help!!

[geek3]

I installed, DHCP is working, and assigning ips. but I can't access the admin panel form another computer. and I setup a start webpage (just to test it) and it doesn't work either both just time out. and it also doesn't respond to pings. not sure what's going on. Please help

also I try accessing my router panel from the server and it can't get to it. I have DHCP disabled on my router. also if I plug it directly into to my macbook (no router or switch) it assigns ip but still no acess to admin console.

whats going on??

To be able to help you... please clearly state the setup you are working with.
like gateway IP, server IP, etc.

I also suggest reading this: http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Community:Forum as it contains vital tips in getting the information you desire, as it all starts by drawing the proper attention and asking sane questions.

the server ip is 10.xx.xx.100

the router ip is 10.xx.xxx.1

gateway is 10.xx.xx.100

range for dchp is 10.xx.xx.2 - 10.xx.xx.99

it is setup with dailup gateway and server mode although my modem isn't setup yet.

(I put xx because I don't rember what i used off the top of my head it think it was 10.0.10.xx for them but i am not sure)

The client isn't in a different subnet, is it?

Or for that matter on an entire different network?

check if set  your SME for  private server gateway mode during setup.

log in into admin acount with your password via local attached keyboard.

i've had simmilar problem once.........it was very long night

The ips are same sub net  (there assigned by DHCP, 255.255.255.0). I set it up Server and gateway, not private during setup.

[imcintyre]

did you do what bbially asked?, I mean try to log on locally.

[geek3]

Yeah, I have login in locally before. the admin panel works with the text browser there. Athouglh it want let me access my router panel from the browser it says something like route to host no found or something similar.

I always find it help to write out your network setup, and what you're trying to accomplish.

Ok, so you've set up SME to provide DHCP to the network. I take it you've checked the cables are connected to your NIC and switch and there are activity lights on? (and I mean really check, don't just take it for granted)
Now, on your other computer, also connected to the switch. Open a command line and type ipconfig (ifconfig for Mac) and check that the IP is in the DHCP range of your SME server, and that default gateway is the ip of your SME box.
If it is, then you should be able to ping the server.

also I try accessing my router panel from the server and it can't get to it.

Your router issue may be completely unrelated. Post back when you try that.
Anyway, that's not going to do you any good, SME has a text browser, so you really won't be able to do much in configuring your router.

i'm not sure if I understan you well.
on console (local) use:

Code: [Select]

links 127.0.0.1/server-manager
than look into remote access on left side panel.

pls also check if the external network and internal aren't the same. there is no chance to route from one network to the same one on second interface with NAT.

ex.  bad situation

PC ------------------ eth0-----SME-----eth1 -------MODEM
IP 10.0.0.123        IP 10.0.0.1          IP 10.0.0.25           IP 10.0.0.24
M 255.255.255.0    M 255.255.255.0  M 255.255.255.0     M 255.255.255.0
G 10.0.01                              G 10.0.0.24             G 88.99.111.222 (some public IP - i know that the gateway on picture should be from the same network (ex 10.0.0.255) by public ip i mean Internet or any public network. )

good situation
PC ------------------ eth0-----SME-----eth1 -------MODEM
IP 172.16.13.123    IP 172.16.13.1        IP 10.0.0.25           IP 10.0.0.24
M 255.255.255.0    M 255.255.255.0      M 255.255.255.0     M 255.255.255.0
G 172.16.13.1                       G  10.0.0.24                        G 88.99.111.222 (some public IP)

what you have written is not very precise

the server ip is 10.xx.xx.100

the router ip is 10.xx.xxx.1

gateway is 10.xx.xx.100

range for dchp is 10.xx.xx.2 - 10.xx.xx.99

why there are two x or  three x.
write exacly ip addresses you may change your public ip if you are affraid.
lets use public ip 88.99.111.222 (or full network)

First question....what router are you using???
Second...is SME on the Lan  or DMZ Zone of the router???
Third can you give us a simple network layout/map??
