From here it looks +like your LAN should be fully functioning. Before we try setting up +your NFS shares it might be worthwhile to take a few moments clearing +up a couple of points about networking - things I learned the hard +way, and now so are you :-). + +><i> I do not think I am able to assign fixed IP addresses. +</I> +Well, you can. Don't confuse fixed addresses with static addresses you +might get from an ISP. If you had chosen manual setup in MCC when +configuring your ethernet card you could have typed in a fixed address +of your own choosing. Of course you need to know what you are doing so +that you can avoid addresses which your router's DHCP could, in +theory, hand out to some later connected device. Then you would have +two hosts with the same address and all sorts of lost connection +issues! + +><i> The computers and router are connected via ethernet cables, within a +</I>><i> house so I assume that is considered a "same" network. +</I> +In fact it is possible to have multiple networks operating on one +common set of installed hardware, but this is seldom considered +necessary in a domestic setting. It is the addresses and network mask +which "define" separate logical networks within a single physical +network. +A quick example; on my 192.168.0.? network I have two PCs and a +firewall. My router, although wired in to the same network, has an +address of 192.168.1.1. That address does not exist in my LAN. If I +want to connect to my router I have to reconfigure a PC to have an +address in my router's network - 192.168.1.99 would do. It is the 1 in +the third octet which makes it a separate network. My LAN mask is 255 +for that octet, which says all of the bits in this octet must match +for two addresses to be considered in the same net. (Same goes for the +192 and the 168). Only the fourth octet (mask value 0) can be any 8 +bit number. + + +On 08/03/2012, Florian Hubold <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">doktor5000 at arcor.de</A>> wrote: +><i> Am 07.03.2012 14:04, schrieb Cazacu Bogdan: +</I>>><i> Wont it be simpler to post the output from ifconfig here?
