Fedora 17 - Can't access remote machine using hostname

view story
linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I am using Fedora 17 and am trying to access a remote machine (running Fedora 15) using its hostname which isn't working. The machine is right next to me on the same switch as my machine (so they are both on the same network with the same subnet and everything). When I was running Windows (7 32-bit) on my machine I could access the other machine no problem but now that I am running Fedora 17 that's not the case. Is there an additional daemon or something that I need to be using in order for this to work? (HowTos)

lxc and fedora 44 weeks 1 day ago

I've been thinking of using lxc on a machine running Fedora-??. I'm going to have a machine running Sol-10 and no longer have access to patches for it. As a result I can't patch it anymore and am thinking that moving the services running on the Solaris server to a machine running Linux.

My problem is that the Solaris machine has 9 zones running on it and would like to continue with that model.

I'm going to run rsync in daemon mode on machine 1 to backup data from machine 1 to machine 2. Machine 1 has a static ip address (Fedora 13 for now, until the back up of 2 is complete). Machine 2 uses dhcp (Fedora 17). The only ip address in /etc/hosts on machine 2 is the loopback address.

The Two machine windows xp and Fedora are in LAN. I create virtual Host on Fedora and it is working properly.

I want to access this virtual host on windows xp machine over LAN. my Hosts file on Windows looks like 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.3 [hostName]

192.168.1.3 is ip of fedora machine.

PLZ help me.

The problem is that I fail to SSH to remote machine via hostname(while IP does)

The hostname return by command hostname is : california_desert

While the name returned by command nslookup $IP_address is: pcpp3238782

They did not match each other.

I think that's why I cannot connect to remote machine via hostname.

Checked with /etc/hosts;/etc/hostname; /etc/sysconfig/network; all set hostname t

Lets say there is Machine A (Ubuntu) in Network A and Machine B in Network B. There is also Machine C (Windows 7) in Network B and I can access it through RDP from Machine A. What I need is to be able to reach Machine B from Machine A (i.e. can ping it, connect to arbitrary port, etc). How can I manage something like this?

PS: Network B is a dmz, i.e.

Internet access 3 years 28 weeks ago

Hi all,

I have a Fedora linux machine connected to a Windows XP machine using a cross-over cable and have tcp/ip connectivity between the two.

The windows machine has wireless internet access.

Now I would like to be able to access the internet from the Fedora linux machine.. anyone have any idea how this can be done ??

I am running a virtual machine in Windows 7, with the Fedora 18 beta running in it. I wanted to make a virtual machine web server so I can test my PHP and MySQL code on it. Anybody have an idea of what software I'd need to make it all run and accessile via my LAN?

I'd need Apache, MySQL, PHP, FTP Access, and something to manage the MySQL database with.

We have Machine A (my Linux laptop), Machine B (a jump station server for access to internal network machines) and Machine C (the machine I want to access on the internal network). Is it possible to run a PERL Net::Expect script on Machine A and have it login to Machine C going through Machine B without having to login to Machine B? Basically is this possible through ssh tunnelling?

Strange X server problem 3 years 24 weeks ago

I have recently installed Fedora 12, after many months of using Fedora 10 (and older releases as well ...).

I now find something very odd happening:

I use 2 other computers and switch between them with a KVM. I have never had any problems with this setup before.
