I've just installed deb 3.0-r2 on our office network. I'm going to use it as a "headless" server for printing, email, secure shell and web access. The remainder of the office PCs run Windows. There's no GUI stuff installed. I did the installation at home and moved it to work. The IP address range at home was 192.168.2.0-192.168.2.40 and at work its 192.168.0.0-192.168.0.33. I edited a number of files by hand when I moved it. I've got a switch/router acting as a DHCP server and name server. It's currently not connected to the internet.
Since I moved the PC to work (a K6-2) it has been excruciatingly slow on the network. The following actions are slow: ssh access using PuTTY on Windows client (long delay between username and password prompt, OK once logged in) Browsing of shares on my deb server using samba. Printing using CUPs Accessing the IMAP server (I've installed wu-imapd). I wonder if I've misconfigured my network. What is the "official" way of setting up the network? Any clues? Could it be something to do with PAM? All of the slowness seems to involve logons.
