Hi,
I have a 16 windows 95 clients. Currently running Wingate. Wingate server
192.168.0.1. Clients have 192.168.0.x static IP address. Peer to peer
network. Wasn't set-up by. The management is currently skeptical about my
Linux project so I don't want to change anything on the client side and
Wingate side so that it continues to boot and operate in Wingate environment
until I finish up configuring Linux and showing it off.
My plan : enable SAMBA, web server, internal email, internet email, proxy
server, internet connection sharing, demand dialling by tommorow.
Started today. Installed RHL 6.0 from Chip CD. NIC is Realtek 8139. Gave the
Linux server 192.168.0.1 so I don't have to fiddle with the client settings.
Configured SAMBA, working fine. Apache web server working fine. Now I wanted
internal email. Enabled POP3 and SMTP in inetd. In clients they were already
set to use 192.168.0.1 as POP3 and SMTP server at port 110 and 25 so no
change required. Opened user accounts in Linux. But send/receive from client
takes a lot of time. Sometimes it times out at 'connecting to 192.168.01'
and sometimes at 'Authrizing' and sometimes mails are sent/received after
taking a lot of time.
Haven't done any DNS setup till now. Is the trouble due to DNS server not
set ?
Any help is very much appreciated. I am hoping to finish off internal /
internet email and internet connection sharing / proxy by tommorow.
TIA
Bharat
