Hi all,

Managed to get my SuSE 9.1 up and running and also managed to purchase and connect my ADSL successfully!!!

So far my scenario is like this:

Internet : a.b.c.d <-----> (ADSL Modem)<----> 10.0.0.1 (SuSe9.1)

So my internal machine has 10.0.0.1 ip on it's eth0 which is connected to the ADSL modem (got that ip from the dhcp that is running in the ADSL).

All is working just great so far!!!

Now here comes the problem. I want to run apache on this baby. So my ISP upgraded me to a new package which gives me a total of 16 real ip's. Now comes the big problem. My static ip remains as it is. They DNSd my domainname on e.f.g.h ip and I have to figure out how to do this. The ISP refuses to DNS my current static ip (a.b.c.d) onto my-domain-name.com. That is why they upgraded my account and gave me a whole bunch of new ips.

I suspect that your new setup should be: I\ +--------> e.f.g.h N| +--------> e.f.g.h+1 T| +------------+ +--------> e.f.g.h+2 E+-----------+ ADSL Modem +------+--------> e.f.g.h+3 R| +------------+ +--------> e.f.g.h+4 N| +--------> e.f.g.h+5 E| +--------> e.f.g.h+6 T/ +--------> etc In other words your SuSE 9.1 should no longer be 10.0.0.1 but e.f.g.h and further I suspect you need to configure it "manually" and no longer via DHCP. Also note that you are now directly accesable from the internet, (no longer behind a Nat/FIREWALL) so you NEED to start a firewall on SuSE 9.1! Jerry

So I want the following result: When someone asks for http, pop3, smtp etc for my-domain-name.com the dns will translate it into e.f.g.h. and I have to make sure that my SuSE9.1 box will respond...

Sounds crazy doesn't it???? Well I am still trying to work it out!

Any good ideas anyone? Can someone please help me with this??

First time I am doing anything like it!

Thanks tons! Chris

Is the ISP in control of your domain name? If so, transfer the thing over to godaddy.com or some other cheap DNS host and point your IPs where you want... (Also, what ISP is it that's giving you 16 IPs, allowing servers, etc? Around here, everyone's TOS is so restrictive you wouldn't dare run your own mail server - yet they do little to kill off the spam-zombies all over) Steve -----Original Message----- From: Chris Roubekas [mailto:croubekas@panafonet.gr] Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 9:51 AM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] ADSL question Hi all, Managed to get my SuSE 9.1 up and running and also managed to purchase and connect my ADSL successfully!!!
