I installed Apache and lynx can see the server just fine accessing it via localhost. I tried to get to it from home using the IP shown in the member's area, 64.5.53.49, and it wouldn't allow me to connect.

I also tried li-49.members.linode.com and it didn't work.

http://64.5.53.49/seems to work for me.

If you don't set the server name in httpd.conf, and leave off the trailing slash on the address, apache will redirect you to localhost.

It still isn't working...

This is what I put in the httpd.conf file:

ServerName 64.5.53.49

From my computer at home I type this into the browser:

http://64.5.53.49/

Mozilla gives tells me the connection was refused.

I pinged 64.5.53.49 from my computer and timed out. I pinged 64.5.53.1 and it worked.

It's working now.... do you know what changed?

I think I need to proxy the ARP requests for all the IPs...

I did it manually, and it didn't fix it right away, but as soon as my switch realized where the IP was, it seemed to work.

I'm also experiencing problems where I can still access my switch, but all the hosts go dead. Something is fishy.

All the bridge devices needed to be in promisc mode. So, they are now. Without that, the arp cache would have timed out and made the IPs unreachable.

This might also have been the cause for the network-outages to the hosts themselves.
