I've asked this question before, but didn't get an answer I could understand. Maybe I was asking wrong. I want to reconfigure a LAN that consists of 2 computers, one Linux and one win2k. Right now, each computer has 2 NICs. One NIC in each is connected to a DSL router, and the other is connected to a LAN hub. Works fine, but I think there is a bottleneck with the old hub. Presently, eth1 (and its corollary on the win2k machine) is used with the DSL router and gets its addressing from the router's DHCP server. Eth0 is used for the LAN via the hub and its addressing is done with an /etc/hosts file (and a hosts file on the windows machine as well). My DSL router also functions as a LAN hub. Accessing its web-based configuration, I can see that it is assigning LAN IP addresses via its DHCP server to each client properly. My problem is getting my clients set up to use eth1 and the assigned IPs instead of eth0 and the static IPs for peer to peer LAN connections. Any help will be appreciated. -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion PGP fingerprint: 52A4 B10C AA73 096F A661 92D2 3B65 8EAC ACC5 BA7A Keyserver: hkp://subkeys.pgp.net The attachment - signature.asc - is my electronic signature; no need for alarm.
