Setting Up A Home Network ...
Is it possible to set up internet connection, between a XP Pro box, and a FreeBSD-current box, without the use of a router, I have got two ethernet cards on the box running XP Pro, and one ethernet card on the box running FreeBSD-current, and a cross over cable. Is it theoretically possible ? -- Thanks & Regards Kumar ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

To connect the laptop and 1U via ethernet? Crossover cables (as opposed to
patch cables).

Sure. That said, I usually set up test hosts like that using private IPs
(10.X.X.X, 172.16.X.X, 192.168.X.X) out of habit. The laptop needs to be in
the same subnet, though, as the server. So, if the 1U is 10.0.0.1, the laptop
should be something like 10.0.0.2 (depends on the netmask you choose).

Yes. Just as you would use ssh to administer the 1U when it's at the
datacenter, you can use ssh to play with it at home. Webmin is accessed via
HTTP; once it's installed and configured on the 1U, connect to the 1U's IP
address in your browser.

The usual: ensure you're running as few services as possible (`sockstat -4` to
see what's listening on the network), prepare an update and backup scheme for
the system and its applications (apply updates now and plan for updates in the
future), lock down user accounts, etc. Subscribe to the FreeBSD security
mailing list[0] and read updates.

Setting up a home network with FreeBSD (not connected to the Internet yet)
Hello All - I have a 1U rackmount server (running FreeBSD 5.4) and a laptop (dual-boot running WinXP-Pro and FreeBSD 5.3) and I'd like to connect the two in a home network (not connected to the Internet) so I can learn web development using Apache, PHP, Python, Plone, Ruby, MySQL, PostgreSQL etc. Later I'll co-locate the server in a datacenter. I'd like the home network setup to be similar to the eventual co-lo setup so that it would provide a realistic environment for learning and testing, with minimal changes once I migrate the server from my home to co-lo. The server has two 1000Base-T, 100Base-TX and 10Base-T Ethernet LAN RJ45 ports (Intel 82541GI and 82547GI controllers), supporting TCP, UPD, IPv4. For the time being, the only client connecting to this server will be the laptop. I don't have broadband at home, so neither the server nor the laptop will be connected to the Internet. There's a cybercafe in the neighborhood with broadband where I can download files, lookup documentation and burn CDs. I was able to borrow someone's keyboard and monitor to install FreeBSD onto the server - but after HTTP and FTP and NFS are set up I was hoping I could return the keyboard and monitor and be able to install and configure any additional packages using the laptop as the console. The laptop has an internal CD-RW. The server has a USB CD-RW - but no monitor or keyboard. Is this just a simple "intranet" I'm setting up here? Can anyone point me to documentation that would answer the following types of questions: - What sort of cables should I get? - Since the server won't be connected to the Internet for now, can I pick any old IP address, host name and domain name? - Once the network is set up, can I use something like SSH or Webmin from the laptop to install and configure packages on the server, without attaching a keyboard and monitor? - What security should I be setting up NOW, so that the server will be secure once it goes co-lo?

Not that I really wanted it but thought that I did. So if I hard code the addresses I may have better luck.

Ok, why don´t you first try using static IP addresses for your workstations, and see if you can ping from them? - Original Message - From: "Rod Person" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Alfonso Romero" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 29, 2003 9:41 PM Subject: Re: Help setting up a home network with FreeBSD On Sat, 29 Mar 2003 14:13:47 -0600 Alfonso Romero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, Rod, I read your posting and have the same problem.

So can the server talk to the Internet perfectly fine? Can the other machines talk to the server? Do you need to use NAT to connect the other machines or do Verizon give you multiple IPs.

Is forwarding turned on on the gateway machine? Does dhcpd work correctly? Does DNS work? If something don't work, please give us the config-files and log file entries. This shouldn't be a big problem, so with the right information this list will help you out. :-) -volker ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Help setting up a home network with FreeBSD
Hello, for the last week I have been trying to set up a home network with FreeBSD. Here is what I have: FreeBSD 5.0 server 2 nics FreeBSD 4.8 workstation Windows XP machine Windows 98 machine. I have been successful in setting up the 5.0 server to connect to my verizon dsl account. I've configure the kernel for use as a firewall and set this up as a gateway machine. I like the 2nd nic to connect to my hub and server dhcp addresses to the other machines on the network. I been searching for a tutorial or how-to but nothing I have read has been successful it letting the the other machines to access the internet via the server. Can someone point me in the right direction to a good how to or supply me with some tips.
