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