Bump....

when I try to ping my widnows desktop, the linux box says "connect: Nerwork is unreachable"

ok, um it only lets me edit eth1? how do I switch to eth0 config???

Also, I decided to just set it up as a dhcp and use the router.. as a router... I removed eth1.. how do I uninstall? it already removed the config for it on the hardware detection on startup, but it still brings up the eth1 interface...

(btw, it currently has the IP of 192.168.1.64 and I cant even ping it on the network)

At my old place of work, there was this guy who whould log into a linux box remotely from a windows machine... what program did he use and what is the command to login to a remote location? he had some sort of console/terminal/prompt thingy.

BTW, I have a ZyXEL Prestige 964 Cable Router as a modem... if anyone could please help me.. I dont know how to set this up :'(

ok, I have my dhcp/router with RH9 on it... ok, I had it set up as a router before, and know how to get all that working, but this modem I just got for business class roadrunner is also a router and is different. The guy set it up for my computer and since I have a static IP, this one had the same address as the router. here is the way it was set up for my windows box:
IP 67.78.26.38
GW 67.78.26.37
MSK 255.255.255.252

I put all this in for the router and nothing.. no internet.. what should I do from here?

would debian be good?

Im looking for a distro of linux around 1 gig... I am going to set it up as a router, but since it'll be my only linux box for a while, I was going to put mandrake on it so I could also play around with linux and learn some crap... but I noticed mandrake was 3 cds.. anything u recoment thats around a 1 gig install? its a 2.4 gig HD and I want ATLEAST 500 megs to mess around with. and a 500 meg swap... so I need something around 1 gig install :-D thanx.

Thanx guys, I aprriciate what u do here, its awesome how u guys help losers like me lol.

Ok, I read that thing and it helps me a bit... but it doesn't help me with the windows thing... I dont thing it has anything to do with the samba deal, cuz I've had this happen to me before on an all windows network. For some reason, when I click on "View workgroup computers" it says it cannot view the computers.. I dont know why, shouldn't I atleast be able to see my own computer? I dont get it.

anyone?

ok, I can see the nix box on my windows comp... it brings up a login box, and I dont know how to set up a user for this.. the tutorial isn't too clear.


Gah, now I cant even look at the workgroup on my windows machine... says it isn't accesible... somebody please help me

odds are, ya

Can someone just help me?

port forwarding anyone? I am using quicktables on a redhat 9 router... can anyone help?

Well that's not very nice lol, its not my fault I expect logical assumtions to be made... I expect too much

Ya, its simply connecting a few on a network.

Ok I am lost on this whole thing... I need help

:-/... well, I still need to port forward right? u missed that question above ^^^^

(I think I may get debian for my web server, cuz its also going to be my only linux computer to play with and I heard debian was cool.)

nvm, fixed it, thanx :-D

ok I installed the whole dhcp 3 deal and got the dhcpd.conf file, and I edited the /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd file to eth0... but it still says Not configured to listen to any interfaces... says I have no subnet declaration for eth0...

Awww, I like my redhat 9 though... why does everyone hate Redhat? I'm new to linux, so I dont know much about the different versions... all I know is that the database admin at my old job recomended RH9... I wanna know how to use RH9 to make a webserver...

Also, I have a RH9 Router and I'm using quicktables to route traffic.. how do I configure port forwarding?

Ok, I am getting sick of using my slow computer for my graphics editing, so im getting a new one. My current desktop will be put on the side as a web server. What are the recomended stats for a web server? I will probably be streaming audio on it cuz its going to be hosting my bands website.

The PC's Cureent Stats:

Asus A7N8X-X Motherboard
AMD 2500+ OC'd to 3200+
256 DDR 400 FSB
and a 20 Gig HD (but that's not really important)
RedHat 9.0

I'm wondering if the Ram and the CPU are enough... LIke I said, its going to be a graphics and audio rich site.... Like I said, what do u recomend?

Also, I read DHCP tutorial by hughesjr and it was great... is there a nice tutorial for creating a web server by him?

I dont have the dhcpd service.. does anyone know where I can DL it for redhat 9?

nvm, I found it.. for anyone who wants to know.. /usr/share/icons/ then find your theme folder in there

ya, I know.. where do I find the current K Menu Icon? what dir?

Ok, nvm... got the sharing working.. but I still need to know how to change the computer name.. can u give me a command to use in the terminal to change this?

Bump...

Ok, two things... first, how do I share folders from my nix box to windows? I added a directory in samba.. now what?

second... how do I change my computer name and such.
