perform changes in route tables.
•
Your server is on the other subnet. Please use the
Search for Remote
function of
ApplianceView in this case, and supply IP address or the name of the unit. Your Appliance
should appear on the list of remote appliances then.
•
Your client machine is running Linux kernel 2.4.19. In some cases it can lead to the
situation when discovery of Appliances does not work. Please use kernel 2.4.18 or 2.4.20
and better in this case.
NOTE
a) If you have no DHCP server on the net, your Appliance
must be physically plugged into
the same subnet as your client PC
at the time of initial discovery. Otherwise, you will not be able
to locate and set up your newly-installed Appliance.
b) If you have DHCP server on the net, please check its configuration. Misconfigured DHCP
server may not return network settings (gateway, in particular) correctly. It can lead to the situation
when Appliance can be “pinged” on the network, and its shares are visible on the network but it
cannot be located by ApplianceView. Please do not forget to reboot Appliance after changing
DHCP server settings.
1.3.5 Route addition does not work. What should I do?
First of all, please check if you're in the
sudoers
group. If not, or you don't know it, please
refer to the manual page of
sudo
, or ask an administrator to set it up for you. If that does not help,
please open the
linrouter.sh
script with any text editor, and examine the
route add
line. Please
check if the gateway device is set up correctly there. By default, it is
eth0
. Change it to any other if
required.
You should also check if there is already added network with similar name. You can obtain
the list with the
netstat -r
command, and then delete the corresponding network:
sudo route del -net 169.254.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 dev eth0
