| irctc666 | anyone about who could give me some advice about the NIC hardware requirements prior to installing 11.1 | 00:55 |
|---|---|---|
| alkisg | What do you mean nic hardware requirements? Most NICs work fine with linux... | 00:55 |
| irctc666 | I intend to have two nics in situ prior to carrying out an install - can 11.10 cope with this arrangement ? | 00:57 |
| alkisg | Sure | 00:57 |
| irctc666 | O.K. and one of these NIC,s could be connected to a router and the Internet with the other going to a switch and the clients? | 00:59 |
| alkisg | That's the recommented setup, yup | 01:00 |
| irctc666 | should I set he IP of the router to a particular address ? | 01:01 |
| alkisg | No, the internet-facing NIC uses dhcp by default. Just *don't* use the 192.168.0.x subnet. | 01:02 |
| alkisg | (as that's used by the ltsp clients, and it would complicate things) | 01:04 |
| irctc666 | sorry i don't understand . Is the Internet facing NIc getting its address via DHCP from the router? | 01:07 |
| alkisg | Yes | 01:07 |
| alkisg | So your router ip address doesn't matter, leave it as it is | 01:08 |
| irctc666 | Ah, I see, and can I set this to any range of ip addresses ? | 01:09 |
| irctc666 | presumably the DHCP on the router could give out 192.168.1.2 for example and as you said eearlier which I now appreciate is not on the 192.168.0. x subnet which prsumably it is using for the clients | 01:16 |
| irctc666 | Thanks alkisg, I shall try this tomorrow. Much obliged to you. Dave | 01:22 |
| highvoltage | stgraber: know who to poke about http://www.edubuntu.org/ ? | 12:01 |
| * highvoltage files a bug on RT so long | 12:01 | |
| === alkisg1 is now known as alkisg | ||
| stgraber | highvoltage: oh, fun... | 14:23 |
| ogra_ | well, at least it works :) | 14:24 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: poked IS | 14:24 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: found a potential problem, Ng from IS is looking now | 14:25 |
| highvoltage | stgraber: yeah it's been fine for a few hours now, at least | 14:37 |
| highvoltage | ah www. is still broken (I guess I should've checked that too) | 14:37 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: all fixed here | 14:42 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: we've been moved back to "our" IP on humboldt instead of the generic one we had before | 14:43 |
| stgraber | (edubuntu has a separate address as we have a SSL certificate) | 14:43 |
| highvoltage | ah | 15:00 |
