I am building a Linux Server for my windows network. I am using 8.2 Pro and the server is going to be an internet connection server / logon server. Does anybody have and advice for me.
so you mean it's going to be an internet gateway and domain server? (samba?) do you want a proxy server too? (squid?) please elaborate...... Oskar --------------------------------------------------------------- To put things breafly i am all but lost in the depths of linux. I am currently running samba on the server, it is lacated on an isolated network with test computers so that i don't mess up my good computers. I will be running with a 56k :( internet connection (after resolving my modem problems) and i am hoping to achive dial on demand over the network an well as having a logon server. i am still new to linux but am learning fast. I just took a look at the manual and i will probably be attempting to set up squid now that i know what it is. The network is running with work groups, not a domain (yet), all computers have a gatway of 192.168.1.255 netmask of 255.255.255.0 and all ip addresses begin with 192.168.1.___. I have good experience configuring windows clients but nothing on the server side. I hope this new info helps. FadMart - http://www.fadmart.com - An Associate of the World's Largest Store!
