Hi,

I pinched Kai's format for this message as it seemed so clear and well presented Smile

I am running

vzctl version 3.0.13

under Gentoo 2006.1 for amd64.

Installation went fine, can vzctl enter from the VZHost to the VPS.

      101          1 running                 -


I created a sh script to show what is happening and what is not happening:-
echo ------ VPS
vzctl exec 101 ifconfig -a
echo ------ VZHost
ifconfig -a
ping -c 5 x.y.z.80
echo ------ VPS
vzctl exec 101 ifconfig -a
echo ------ VZHost
ifconfig -a
echo ------ VPS
vzctl exec 101 ping -c 5 x.y.z.31
echo ------ VPS
vzctl exec 101 ifconfig -a
echo ------ VZHost
ifconfig -a

I ran the script as follows:-

2>&1 ~/netvpsstat | tee ~/netvps.txt

I have pruned the lo and eth interfaces from the following results in ~/netvps.txt for clarity (and hopefully I haven't removed the most important info Smile).

From this, I can see that

o the VZHost is not sending packets to the VPS
o the VPS is successfully sending packets to the VZHost - which is not responding.

Any help is appreciated,

Paul

simple, but its solved networking problems countless times on the forum. Is ip forwarding enabled?

cat /proc/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Hi RickB,

Sorry if this has been solved before.

VZHost~# cat /proc/net/ipv4/ip_forward
cat: /proc/net/ipv4/ip_forward: No such file or directory
Doesn't find ip forwarding, but...
VZHost~# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
1
does.

Looks like ip forwarding is enabled. I am running a firewall - which might be 'interfering'. I'll look into this (perhaps I am missing a rule) before I bother you again.

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply.

Best Regards, Paul.

Hi, yes I typed the path a bit too quick. First disable any firewalls on the HN for testing purposes. If still no joy, run tcpdump monitoring the venet and eth devices from the HN. Really the HN should always receive the packet from the VE unless the VE is running an outbound filtering firewall.

as RickB mentioned, most likely it is due to firewall settings.
traffic to VPS goes through iptables FORWARD chain, not INPUT one. So since most firewalls disable FORWARDING networkging in VPS doesn't work with them.

use `iptables -L` to see your firewall settings.

Hi Rick and Kirill,

Thanks for all the help.

It was all my fault Smile Firewall was not configured up enough.

Done now, all is well.

Best Regards, Paul.
