I have the following LAN setup:-

athlon 192.168.0.10  Windows 2000
server 192.168.0.100 Rehat 9.0
backup 192.168.0.15  Windows 2000
laptop DHCP  W98SE

These interface with Internet via a Netgear RT314 router, with DHCP
activated with up to 9 addresses.

All PCs, inlcuding the RH9 have the fixed ip addresses and the host names
put in their hosts files.

I am not running a domain but have set the Windows PCs under Workgroup
rather than a domain name. The RH9 machine I just put the name, server in
the etc/hosts file along with its ip number.

Some programs on the RH9 seem to be "grizzling" about such a setup, i.e.
sendmail commenting on lack of fully qualified domain name.

I also have a situation where transferring data from the Windows 2K to the
RH9 goes well (100MB LAN) but coming back it is dead slow, about 3 minutes
for a 10MB file.

Should I set up a domain on my LAN, would it make things easier to set up
and what software would I use?
