For persistent +</I>>>><i> connections an nfsv4 client uses an entry in fstab to mount a remote +</I>>>><i> file system at boot. This requires a fixed server name or fixed server +</I>>>><i> IP address, neither of which is provided by a default router dhcp setup. +</I>>>><i> There may be ways to work around this, but why bother? Why not just +</I>>>><i> assign fixed IPs and be done with it? It only takes a few minutes and +</I>>>><i> your nfs connections will always survive reboots. +</I>>>><i> +</I>>><i> Correct, internet connection is always achieved. DHCP is used because +</I>>><i> the ISP does not provide fixed IP address; dynamic IP address is +</I>>><i> acceptable for my basic internet access needs. I do not think I am +</I>>><i> able to assign fixed IP addresses. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I am obviously not familiar with the ISP or hardware you are using, but +</I>><i> every dsl router/cable modem/switch that I've ever seen has 2-3 +</I>><i> interfaces. One interface that connects to the ISP (they often call this +</I>><i> the WAN), one to the LAN (your local network), and optionally one to a +</I>><i> wireless network. If your computer has a 192.168.x.x address then that +</I>><i> was assigned by the router in your basement, not the ISP. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> For the connection to the ISP, your router is a dhcp *client* (unless +</I>><i> you pay for a static IP). You should never mess with that interface or +</I>><i> you will spend many hours in customer service hell trying to repair your +</I>><i> connection. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> For your LAN interface (and wireless interface if you have it) your +</I>><i> router is a dhcp *server* and your computers are the dhcp clients. These +</I>><i> interfaces are configurable by the end user (you) and can be changed to +</I>><i> *not* be a dhcp server, but to be a fixed IP gateway. You should also be +</I>><i> able to leave dhcp enabled and still assign fixed IP addresses to +</I>><i> certain hardware, but this depends on the router. In any case the ISP +</I>><i> router/modem/switch forwards the traffic from this connection through +</I>><i> the WAN interface to the ISP servers and the rest of the internet. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> If you want to change the LAN settings on your router, you can usually +</I>><i> do this through an http connection on modern hardware. You should +</I>><i> connect to the router from a wired connection. Some hardware also allows +</I>><i> wireless connections to the administrative interface but this incredibly +</I>><i> insecure since anyone within range can re-program your network using the +</I>><i> default username/password combinition. Anyway, you usually use a web +</I>><i> browser and go to something like "<A HREF="http://www.routerlogin.net">http://www.routerlogin.net</A>". The exact +</I>><i> site name, username, and password is often printed somewhere on the +</I>><i> router, or you can get your model number and do a search on the internet +</I>><i> for the manual which usually has this info. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> It's just a network interface and it's not really any different from +</I>><i> configuring your PC interface. If you want to go this route I can offer +</I>><i> some advice, but you really need a copy of the manual on your desktop +</I>><i> before you start messing with this stuff. Especially since you've never +</I>><i> done it before. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Jeff +</I>><i> +</I>><i> +</I></PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="006657.html">[Mageia-discuss] home network using broadband router +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="006659.html">[Mageia-discuss] home network using broadband router +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#6658">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#6658">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#6658">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#6658">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
