Hi, I'm trying to connect my new Dell/Linux 7.2 server to my Linksys router/home network. My other two PC's are windows machines and they work fine on the router and on my DSL connection to the net. I'm trying to set up my server so I can access it from my two PC's and use a web based Dell provided interface to test/configure the server, prior to co location. Learning to crawl before I walk I guess.
I've got the Linux bible in front of me, ran neat (network configuration), clicked devices tab, double clicked eth0, clicked protocols tab, clicked TCP/IP tab to edit the address, subnet mask and default gateway. I deleted the present IP set for the server which is 10.10.2.20 and changed it to 192.168.1.3 (my other two pc's on the home network are 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2), changed the subnet mask from 255.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.0, and entered in as the default gateway address the dynamic IP address that my Linksys router says is the IP address of the router to the WAN. When I do this I get all kinds of error messages in the terminal and I can't connect to the server via my PC or connect to the net via my server. I also can't apply the changes in the network configurator window, Linux won't let me, I close out neat, start it up again, and the original IP settings are in the net confogurator again. I'm thinking that the problem may be that because my router is set up as a DHCP server? I'm wondering if it is necessary to have my router set this way if my DSL connection to the net uses static IP addresses? Or do I need to set my TCP/IP settings on my Linux server to automatically obtain IP address settings with DHCP? I tried that too and still can't connect to my home network. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Dan Sabo _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
