Today David Aikema was heard saying: <snip>
->> *** I am having difficulties understanding if you are "a server" or "a ->> client"...? -> ->eth0 is (well... will be) connected to the cable modem and needs to use dhcp ->to grab an address from there. this system will not be a dhcp server. *** Thus you will be the "client" and your ISP the "server". That means your ISP will setup your client (you) the way they decided to: IP, nameservers... and host/domainname. You can, however, control the host/domainname provided by your ISP as far as your internal network goes. Internally you can call your machines anyway you want, externally it is the host/domainname provided by your ISP which will be used. To change the settings of your internal host/domainname you add HOSTNAME=myhost DOMAINNAME=mydomain.myextension to /etc/sysconfig/network and this is how your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 looks like: DEVICE=eth0 IPADDR= NETMASK= NETWORK= BROADCAST= ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp USERCTL=no while this is your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1: DEVICE=eth1 IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx NETMASK=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx NETWORK=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx BROADCAST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none USERCTL=no Cheers, Zoran. -- If you find me, please return me to my $HOME: my address is 'cd'. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
