Hello All:
I have a home network with 6 mixed os machines connected to a router for internet access, this all works great. I would like to add another network card to my main machine just for a VNC connection on a seperate network, as this would be an endpoint I am not sure how to proceed and all of the books I have don't cover anything like this or are just too old.
What is an "endpoint"?
Do you mean that it will be connected directly to the internet (the same one your router is connected to) or do you have another network connection all together (another router?)
Also do you intend to run VNC as a server, (allowing others to connect to your machine) or are you only running VNC as a client (connecting to other machines located elsewhere)?
Either of the above, over the same internet connection should not require a separate nic. Perhaps just a entry in the router table of the firewall/router if you are going to be a VNC server.
OTOH, if it is a totally separate internet connection, all you need to do is slap in a nic, reboot and use Yast to configure it to your needs and set ROUTING = No.
Thanks for the info John. The plan was to have a seperate connection for only 2 machines so I could use VNC between them to not hog the main internet network. By endpoint I meant that the end of the second network would be my main machine, so there really needs to be no routing. It looks like I setup a second nic in my main machine and point my remote machine at it.
