hi, it's me again, i know some of you here work for moscom, might have worked for moscom.... you guys might have the solution.
ok here's goes, moscom has set up a network for my boss' company which is weird... the set up includes a modem which is directly connected to a hub there is no router. the ip's assigned are all valid ip's, all the windows clients are all directly connected to the internet via ip's xxx.xxx.xxx.65 up to 126 the subnet is 255.255.255.192. so this makes xxx.xxx.xxx.64 /26 the network address and xxx.xxx.xxx.127 /26 the broadcast address. the weird thing for me here is the windows clients have the ip xxx.xxx.xxx.64 netmask 255.255.255.192 as the gateway address. isnt it the network address?
and here is my problem, my boss asked me to set up a linux file and print server. samba was set up with no problems. the linux box can detect the lan, it's ip address is xxx.xxx.xxx.101 netmask 255.255.255.192. but i couldnt connect it to the internet!!!!!! i tried using xxx.xxx.xxx.64 as the gateway but linux wont accept it because probably it's the network address!!! i tried everything in the routing tables... but still i cant connect it to the internet. is somebody familiar with this set up?? does somebody know how i can connect my linux box to the internet?
please help!!!
