Re: Network Connection Question
Ok, 1. First of all you must configure your ethernet cards like: ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0 up ifconfig eth1 y.y.y.y nemask 255.255.255.0 up you must change x's and y's for your ip addresses then you can ping to your network and to your dsl you also must configure a default gateway in this case may be the address of your dsl connetion. 2. Yeah you can. 4. had you tried? XFree86 -configure, it would return a XF86Config sample config file. In any case you can visit www.tldp.org and consult IP-Masquerade-HOWTO (For firewalling) PPP-HOWTO NET-HOWTO XWindow-User-HOWTO Regards ;) On Mon, 6 Sep 2004 22:31:58 -0500, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" wrote: Hello All I am a beginner in Linux using Debian.

AARON ROY 1) Should just run dhcpd daemon and it will pick up the ip address. If you don't have it started run dpkg-reconfigure dhcp (may have a d on the end) and choose to start it at boot. 2) You can. You will need two nic cards and set up the firewall and routing. But why do you want to do that when you have a hardware router with a built-in firewall? But, then again, it's always good to learn.

A nice firewall to run is Shorewall (Debian package available). Using the computer as a router requires the computer to have two network interfaces. You would need to add a network card which would be connected to your home LAN. I don't how the DSL modem connects and whether that can connect directly or whether it would be easier to connect to the computer through the router. > 3. How to set the Time and Date? For example to 23:47 on September 6th 2004 As root: date 090623472004 Then install the ntpdate and ntp-simple packages to keep the time and date accurate by asking Internet servers. > 4I have a mouse which connects to the USB Port - but its also not > being identified by the X Window. > > What commands I need to execute? Need some help. Set it up in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. It needs to contain a section looking something like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device""/dev/input/mice Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection and that section needs to be tied into the ServerLayout section. > Thanks & Regards, > > AARON ROY > > ORIGINAL Configuration: > > Intel® Celeron™ 366MHz (w/128KB Cache) PPGA CPU > 32MB SyncDRAM (up to 256 MB) > 2 USB Ports (1 is on Front) > 1 Serial / 1 Parallel / 3 Expansion Slot > Audio In & Out / Game Port on Front > Internet Ready > Microsoft Works > ATI Rage Pro Turbo 2X AGP with 4MB SGRAM > Crystal CS4280 3D PCI Audio > 40x Max.

You'll probably want to use DHCP to have your Linksys router give it
an IP address. Run 'man interfaces' to find the correct format to
automatically enable your network connection to pick up a DHCP address
on boot.

> connecting directly to the server.?
Yes. You'll need two network cards in the Debian machine - one to
hook into the DSL modem and the other to connect to the rest of the
network.
If you already have a Linksys router (and by this I assume you mean
one of those Cable/DSL routers and not a switch/hub), you may not gain
a whole lot of benefit from this type of setup.
> 3. How to set the Time and Date?
See 'man tzconfig' to select your time zone. If you are connected to
the internet, install package 'ntp-simple' ('apt-get install
ntp-simple') to have your time and date automatically updated.
