[00:55] <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...
[00:57] <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
[00:59] <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?
[01:00] <alkisg> That's the recommented setup, yup
[01:01] <irctc666> should I set he IP of the router to a particular address ?
[01:02] <alkisg> No, the internet-facing NIC uses dhcp by default. Just *don't* use the 192.168.0.x subnet.
[01:04] <alkisg> (as that's used by the ltsp clients, and it would complicate things)
[01:07] <irctc666> sorry i don't understand . Is the Internet facing NIc getting its address via DHCP from the router?
[01:07] <alkisg> Yes
[01:08] <alkisg> So your router ip address doesn't matter, leave it as it is
[01:09] <irctc666> Ah, I see, and can I set this to any range of ip addresses ?
[01:16] <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
[01:22] <irctc666> Thanks alkisg, I shall try this tomorrow. Much obliged to you. Dave
[12:01] <highvoltage> stgraber: know who to poke about http://www.edubuntu.org/ ?
[12:01]  * highvoltage files a bug on RT so long
[14:23] <stgraber> highvoltage: oh, fun...
[14:24] <ogra_> well, at least it works :)
[14:24] <stgraber> highvoltage: poked IS
[14:25] <stgraber> highvoltage: found a potential problem, Ng from IS is looking now
[14:37] <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)
[14:42] <stgraber> highvoltage: all fixed here
[14:43] <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)
[15:00] <highvoltage> ah
