Once that's done it's quite quick when compared to moving the data across to put the new disk into use. Once again I suggest the HOWTO as it explains it much better then me :-) I use LVM at home and when I run out of space on one partition I just more from the spare space on another partition.

Re: dhcp-dns problem
The reason that your static IP machines are being given a dynamic IP address
is that the pool of IP address that is being allocated also includes the
static IP address.
Example:
Static IP Address - 192.168.1.10
Dynamic Pool - 192.168.1.8 - 192.168.1.100
The PC realises that is has one static address previously and that it should
have a new dynamic address (make sure that it is not a DHCP client) and
makes a request to the server for the same IP address, which it is then
given. To give it a static IP address you have to move the IP address to
outside of the pool or change the pool.
Example:
Static IP Address - 192.168.1.10
Dynamic Pool - 192.168.1.20 - 192.168.1.100

Betreff: dhcp-dns problem
I've been working on setting up dhcp-dns on my system so that
I can get
automatic name entries from DHCP. I've run into a problem, however.
First, on the DHCP side.
Some of the computers on the network have static leases set up so that
they'll always get the same IP address. Since installing
dhcp-dns, they
now appear to be getting a dynamic IP along with their static
IP, though
it is the same IP. While this is not a problem per se, it is
clogging up
my syslog with lots of repetitive errors. Also, and I'm not
sure if this
is related to the fact that these machines have static IP's,
the dynamic
IP's are not getting any hostnames associated with them.
These machines
are, coincidentally, the only Linux machines on the network
and are all
running dhclient, so it could be a misconfiguration on my part. Any
ideas?
The other problem is with the actual DNS updating. As far as
I can tell
after reading /usr/share/doc/dhcp-dns/README and making sure that
everything is set up right (including editing /etc/dhcp-dns.conf), I
have everything configured properly. But I'm still not getting any
updates in the DNS tables. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any
record of dhcp-dns running or any errors from bind. Any suggestions as
to where I might be able to look for these?
And finally, I keep seeing references to BOOTP while looking
around for
information. Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with what BOOTP is.
All I know is that it allows a computer to get an IP address and some
basic network information. It sounds to me a lot like DHCP with some
options being passed. I don't HAVE to have all the machines in my
network listed in DNS, I just need to have them SOMEHOW accessible to
each other by name instead of just by IP. So if BOOTP (or any other
protocol) can handle this for me with a minimum amount of
hassle I'd be
very happy to give it a shot. TIA for any help.

Re: Newbie home network; Debian gateway, XP within.
To resolve the IE modem prompt you need to tell XP that the connection will be over a LAN, not modem. This can be done by going to the 'Tools Internet Options' menu in IE, then the Connections tab. In there click 'Never dial a connection'. Click OK then restart IE. The rest of the stuff some one else will have to help you with as I've always just said 'Do this' and it has done it for me so far.

In order to utilize a required mechanical CAD system, I must use a MS-OS (XP in my case). To continue using my Debian machine, I've decided to attempt making it the firewall, file server, and print server with ipmasq and samba. This is my very first network and I'm also unfortunately on a tight deadline to have the system running. I currently use dial-up (PPPd) but I will be switching most likely cable for necessary high speed (PPPoE). I'm running Debian Woody with kernel 2.2.20. I have the stock 'ipmasq' package installed and running. The gateway machine is called, 'debian' and the internal XP machine will be called 'red_hat'. I'm certain the two machines at least talk to one another because I can ping between the two (using the static IP addresses) and I can also open a telnet session from the XP machine to the debian gateway. When I attempt to ping from the XP machine to something other than the statically assigned IP addresses, their is no name resolution. Here's the relevant part of /etc/network/interfaces: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.1 network 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 Output from 'ifconfig eth0': eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:09:5B:05:81:31 inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:191 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:52 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:23327 (22.7 KiB) TX bytes:4286 (4.1 KiB) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x9000 Here's the relevant part of /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 debian localhost 192.168.1.1 debian.my.home debian 192.168.1.2 red_hat.my.home red_hat 0.0.0.0 (username).users.mindspring.com Here's the relevant part of /etc/resolv.conf: domain debian nameserver (w.x.y.z - provided by ISP) nameserver (a.b.c.d - provided by ISP) On the XP machine the, TCP/IP properties are: IP address 192.168.1.2 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Default gateway 192.168.1.1 I don't think the XP machine understands there is a connection to the gateway.

Re: Newbie home network; Debian gateway, XP within.
Giving XP the gateway and then setting up Debian to just forward these requests makes it a lot easier to maintain tho. I have setup my friends XP with only the gateway and it works, the server isn't Debian but SME Mitel (www.e-smith.org). My server has the option to be a DNS proxy but I turned it off as I'm using cable and the very small amount of time against another process (on old hardware) doesn't make it worth while. What XP will do is to check the request for a web page (or ftp etc) against the local subnet mask, then if it isn't on the local network goes and asks the gatway for it. The gateway then (depending on the setup) asks your ISP or gets the IP address its self.
