I am willing to change the ip's of the network. The current system is comprised of RH7.0, which is a gateway, Win98, and WinME. I have not had any trouble until now. The only time I have problems is when ATT changes my internet ip address. I just ifdown eth0 then ifup eth0 and the network can connect to the internet again. My plans for the Caldera box is to set it up as a firewall but before I do that I figure that I need to get it to connect to the network and then create the firewall/gateway system.

As a basic rule, I never use the 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 network. I discovered a problem with a couple Redhat boxen when I tried using it. Everything was working fine, then I introduced a Redhat box (6.2 I think) into the network and I had the identical problem. How hard would it be to change your internal IPs from 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 to 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0? I did it and it worked no problem. -Brian _______________________________________________ tclug-list mailing list tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
