Subject: Two nic's & two hubs
Hi all,
I've got a problem with my network.
Here's the situation:
One Penium 60 (no PCI slots), and a couple of other PC's being a mixture of
different pentiums 100+ mhz
I used to have them on a 10mbps hub, but now I bought a 100mbps (not a
switch) one. All of the sytems have a 10/100mbps nic, except for the
Pentium60.
I use the P60 as a firewall/gateway to the outside world.
I wanted to save some money and not buy an extra 10/100mbps hub, so I put
second nic in my main fileserver, which is always switched on anyway. I
hooked it up to the 10mbps hub to let it connect to the P60-firewall.
Still with me?
So now the situation is as follows:
P60: 1 isdn card connected to outside plus 1 nic 10mbps connected to 10mbps
hub
p500: 1 pci nic 100 mbps connected to 100mbsp hub and one nic 10 mbps
connected to 10 mbps hub
All others are connected to 100 mbps hub.
P60 hub10 P500 hub100
----------- ------- ----------- -------
ISP <----->| ISDN | |10mbps |<----->|192.168.2.1|
|100mbps|<--> others
|192.168.2.5|<----->| hub | |192.168.1.1|<---->| hub |
(192.168.1.*)
----------- ------- ----------- -------
P60 does nothing but firewalling and gatewaying. (Very small HD)
P500 does DNS, YPserver, Samba, mail etc.
All others are just clients (win and SuSE)
Now there are two problems:
1. I can see (ping, telnet etc) P500 from P60 and from all other PC's. I can
also get to P60 from P500. But to everybody else P60 is invisible.
2. I cannot get ypclient to work on P60 (domain not bound), but it does work
on other machines connected to the 100mbps hub.
And a question:
Is it true that with two hubs you have to use a different 3rd part of the
ip-address? (eg .2.5 vs .1.5)
I've tried the roaming the howto's, but to no avail. Can anybody point me in
the right direction? I feel it would be a waste of money to go out and get a
switch hub altough timewise... :-)
<p>thanks for any help!
keep up the good work
