Routing

Another chance for me to display my ignorance :-) All that follows is based on SuSE 7.0. I am changing our ip address range from 172.19.50.x (255.255.255.0) to 172.16.y.x (255.255.252.0) - reason - more numbers. However, while moving over I need to let machines on both ranges communicate eg. clients printing to print servers etc. Is this possible? If I set up 2 interfaces on the server (derby) with ifconfig eth0:0 172.19.50.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig eth0:1 172.16.0.2 netmask 255.255.… [View More]

Well, 172.19.x.x is a 'class B' IP address, so if you use it with no subnet mask at all (ie the default which would be 255.255.0.0 for a class B) you have 65535 potential addresses available to you, in the range 172.16.0.1 -> 172.16.255.254 (172.16.0.0 being considered as the 'network' and 172.16.255.255 the broadcast address). So one option is just to remove … [View More]

Without knowing your samba config it's difficult to say... Samba operates as a domain controller either for an NT style network, or for a 95/98 workgroup style network. If you installed printer shares using the latter style, my guess is that your samba server has now decided to become a member of the workgroup. Maybe. In which case you will need to heck the conf file to force it back to NT mode? Likewise your 98 machine needs to use NT style sharing, and it needs to authenticate username/… [View More]

Found that I had a dodgy SIM, That's why I got the error as the OS was loading into the RAM disk! I have now changed the ram and doing a full install (everything) of V7 (from the LINUX mag). I've used expert mode so that I could control the mount point & partitions of the four HDDs. A couple of questions, 1) Is there a sensible upper limit to the size of the swap partition? 2) Will LINUX use what's offered or use the space only if required - i.e. does it try to be efficient? 3) When … [View More]

the case of the missing network

Fiddled around with printing on the network today.... AM: Had a normal working SAMBA network. PM attached a printer to a WIN98 machine, installed File and Print Sharing from Networking, followed instructions in various books and had the network printing within 10 mins.....but the network now consists of just the printer, any mention of the shared files from Linux are gone.......Removed printer and print sharing...still no network at Windows level (ie Pinging still fine) ??????

Email server
by acraig 30 Jan '01

Dear Suse list Any suggestions for how I might run a "Hotmail" online email type of service from our Linux box. Are there any programs out there already set up to do this sort of thing ? Our school is soon to have a permanent in and out connection so this becomes an attractive option to offer our own pupils and FPs. Best regards Alan Craig PT CDT Aberdeen Grammar School

I presume > you'd be reasonably familiar with your printer configuration tool of choice. If you are only printing from windows, you could also configure a 'raw' printing device, and install the printer drivers on windows as usual. This way you get all the usual bells and wistles at the Windows end, and Linux does nothing but pass anything it … [View More]
