[PLUG] Final Answer to IBM Thin Client and Red Hat Linux Networking problem
|
I called IBM about this problem. After a few days of testing, we finally
found that it was the Ethernet Standard setting on NetVista box. I used
IEEE802.3, which, according to IBM, has problems. After I changed it to
Version 2, it worked very well.

Thanks Paul! I think I got it this time.
Tcpdump was the only thing I didn't try. Here are some results: 1. On
w2k(10.1.2.41), arp table is empty, ping RH (10.1.2.58),
windump -n host 10.1.2.58 captures:
================================================================

=================================================================
2. On w2k(10.1.2.41), arp table is empty, ping NetVista (10.1.4.222),
windump -n host 10.1.4.222 captures:
=================================================================
13:38:28.693243 arp who-has 10.1.4.222 tell 10.1.2.41 13:38:28.693523

=================================================================
3. On RH(10.1.2.58), arp table is empty. Ping 10.1.2.41,
tcpdump -n host 10.1.2.41 captures:
================================================================
13:56:37.526721 arp who-has 10.1.2.41 tell 10.1.2.58 13:56:37.526721 arp
reply 10.1.2.41 is-at 0:1:2:2e:fa:9b 13:56:37.526721 10.1.2.58 >
10.1.2.41: icmp: echo request (DF) 13:56:37.526721 10.1.2.41 >
10.1.2.58: icmp: echo reply (DF)
================================================================
4. On RH(10.1.2.58), arp table is empty. Ping 10.1.4.222,
tcpdump -n host 10.1.4.222 captures:
================================================================
13:57:36.436721 arp who-has 10.1.4.222 tell 10.1.2.58 13:57:37.436721
arp who-has 10.1.4.222 tell 10.1.2.58 13:57:38.436721 arp who-has
10.1.4.222 tell 10.1.2.58
After comparing the results, we can see NetVista doesn't reply to arp
request! This is why RH can't ping NetVista. But why can a W2k box ping
NetVista? I have not figured out.
Something interesting is that any ping to RH involving two arps, one is
"who is RH?" , the other is "who is pinging me? "from RH. After the
ping, RH will have an entry for the pinger in its arp table.

Jing,
What does "traceroute" show? Have you tried running "tcpdump" on the
linux box to see if the ping packets are hitting its interface? Does
"arp" resolve the IPs to their proper MAC addresses?
