You can't avoid chainging settings on the laptops. But you should be able to avoid stuffing up the respective domain logins. The nt one should still work regardless of where the gateway is - it may even be over netbeui (you need to do soem more research). If the Novell is around Ver4 than its IPX won't be affected by net axs. However with Ver5ish it can be "PureIP" and you need to check the same as the NT login. It can still use IPX. But you can't just plug em into the hub and expect that they will be able to get net axs. At least they need a gateway set and DNS. Actually thats about all they need. As long as there is someway to still be connected to their servers, these settings will prob not be affected. Use DNS on the gateway and whack in static entrys for the internal domain for the various servers.. That may help as well. You prob need to get a bit more info on what protocols the laptops are using and also the physical connections involved. Course you could always contact me directly and I'll do it for you :-) Yours dave > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Alex S > Sent: Sunday, 11 June 2000 5:21 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [SLUG] Virtual servers?? novell nt /linux > > > hi all > > i am thinking of setting up a linux box as the server to take > ofver WINSE ICS.. > this is no prob with O@H dhcp on one end and a local lan dhcp > server on eth1 > this is fine and i can pass on the internet to other pc's; the > problem comes > when my dad and CO come in with their laptops. > one laptop is set up to log onto novell > the other is the default vanila NT logon (does this sound right i > havent seen > it) > > the question is how can both these laptops plug into my hub and > both gain net > acess without changing any settings on the laptops... > > is this possible or are there some problems with doing this... > > btw both laptops run lose98. > > thanks in advance... > alex > -- > SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au > To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > unsubscribe in the text > -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text
