Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me help a colleague in the US, with the
setting up of a small network....using the following:
PC [win98], NT server, Redhat server, a hub, a router and DSL
None of the above are currently networked together.
We have purchased one fixed IP address from Flashnet, our DSL provider.
Our requirements:
My colleague requires that the Redhat machine be available to other Redhat
servers around the globe. [These servers hold master databases which we need
to gain access to, for the export and import of data].
A fixed IP address is required for access to all sites.
My colleague wants to be able to connect to the ISP directly from her PC in
order to pick up email.
The PC needs also to be able to FTP/Telnet to the Redhat machine
TCP/IP services are required between NT and the other machines.
What would be the best way to set up this network?
I'm thinking that we should have purchased 3 IP addresses, and then set up a
domain. But I'm unsure of how to configure DSL - we don't have this service
in the UK at the moment. We are running redhat version 6_0. Does the redhat
kernel support DSL?
I'm thinking that the best solution would be to network the 3 machines using
private IP conventions, then connecting the DSL modem to the PC, and simply
using a normal modem for connecting the redhat server to the internet
whenever required?
I know this is all a bit vague, and not strictly a redhat query, but any
assistance would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Nigel Trivass
