| TheProf | Hello - I hope everyone is doing well. I'm setting up a new edubuntu server now. I have two network cards and I'd like to know which of them is faster/better so I can assign it to be the LTSP NIC. | 18:52 |
|---|---|---|
| TheProf | Both are gigabit cards. One is an on-board, the other is a PCI card. | 18:52 |
| TheProf | Just getting the specifics now. | 18:52 |
| TheProf | The PCI card is: Intel 82541G gigabit controller | 18:55 |
| TheProf | The onboard is: RTL8111/8168B PCI express gigabit controller | 18:56 |
| stgraber | use the intel one for the thin clients | 19:09 |
| TheProf | stgraber, Thanks for your response -- is that the case even if it is a regular PCI card as opposed to the PCI express RTL? | 19:09 |
| stgraber | TheProf: the PCI bus speed is over a gigabit so it shouldn't matter | 19:11 |
| TheProf | stgraber, awesome. Thanks very much! | 19:11 |
| stgraber | np | 19:12 |
| TheProf | stgraber, One more question please. Right now eth0 is Internet and eth1 is LTSP. How do I switch the NICs so that they are the other way? | 20:13 |
| stgraber | you can change /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot | 20:14 |
| TheProf | OK I will try that now. | 20:16 |
| TheProf | stgraber, Great the NIC swap worked - thank you! | 21:08 |
| TheProf | So I'm back with one more question -- got the Edubuntu 11.04 installed and configured on the server and tweaked all nicely. Plugged it into a switch with a thin client, but the PXE boot on the thin client fails! | 22:37 |
| TheProf | It just searches for a DHCP and never connects. This is a stock installation of edubuntu and previously with version 10 it worked wonderfully so I'm wondering what I am missing? | 22:38 |
| TheProf | OK I think I've narrowed it down a bit. I had to switch the network cards and I did so as stgraber recommended earlier. I think that the dhcpd service is still listening on the wrong NIC | 22:45 |
| TheProf | I'm getting a syslog error when I try to run isc-dhcp-server that it is suppose to ignore requests on this interface | 22:46 |
| TheProf | But I do not know where to change this? | 22:49 |
