Hi, I'm a little new to linux and networking. I have a small server that I want to use as storage for my home network. I have a wireless router acting as a bridge that is getting wireless signal from our main router in the home and turns the signal into wired for my network. I have a 8 port switch hooked to the router which all my computers are connected to.
With my home network, I am using wireless router that is connected to the internet, my headless server, and three other computers wirelessly. My goal is to add a second source of internet to the network by adding a wireless adapter to the server. In this network, the regular computers can not be used since they can't always be on/stable/in range.
I have a subnet of public IP addresses that my ISP has provided me with. They are routed through my router (how profound) that has a a static IP. I have successfully assigned the IPs from that subnet to various devices on my network. This works just fine, they get their own public IP, they can access the Internet, and the Internet can access them.
I'm setting up a 2003 Server vm for testing purposes as a AD controller with DHCP. It's connected to a network with a DSL router already serving DHCP addresses to numerous other client machines.
I've configured the server vm with 2 NICs.
One is connected to the 'real' network of the DSL router.
I have a Huwawei modem and a TP Link access point, I did the setup everything works, the TP Link is using the DHCP of the modem.
I have been running a file server on Ubuntu for a couple of years now. Recently I had to take the network down. When I brought it back up, my server lost its ip address from the router.
I can't remember how to put it back in the dhcp mode. I know that running a server in the dhcp mode isn't optimal, but my router won't allow me to assign static ip addresses.
I have a local network at home with a router and a small server. The router manages the local network (DHCP, etc) but does not support PPTP. On the server (Ubuntu 12.04) I set up pptpd and this is working fine ... except that the dhcp3 server started by pptpd is now conflicting with the router.
I'm relatively inexperienced with networking, but I know what I want to achieve in this case. I have a computer that I physically move between two separate local networks, but when the computer is on one of those networks I want to assign a different static IP address to the machine.
One internal network is 192.168.1.0, and the other is 192.168.2.0.
Hey everyone,
I have a server that should be connected to two networks. One where it is connected via a router to the internet and another one connected to a local network. I make certain ports of the server available in the internet, via port-forwarding.
As soon as I configure the second interface (eth1), which has a static IP configuration, connection attempts from the internet fail.
