Well until now. I'd like to make a couple points because +I think the common denominator here is dhcp which has it's limits, +particularly when managed by a router. + +@ e-letter - I read your original post and you indicated that you were +having trouble setting up nfs using Mandriva/Mageia, but that you were +able to connect to the internet. Correct? Well if you're using dhcp to +assign IP addresses, of course it's hard to set up nfs. For persistent +connections an nfsv4 client uses an entry in fstab to mount a remote +file system at boot. This requires a fixed server name or fixed server +IP address, neither of which is provided by a default router dhcp setup. +There may be ways to work around this, but why bother? Why not just +assign fixed IPs and be done with it? It only takes a few minutes and +your nfs connections will always survive reboots. + +@ Tony - Same observation. You are adding additional NICs and creating a +parallel fixed IP network when you can set your router to use fixed IPs. +Why? Your boxes are already exposed to the internet though the router so +you aren't gaining the security benefit of a firewall. Is there a reason +you don't just use fixed IPs on the connection you share with your +router? Perhaps you can't configure it? + +Every type of cable/dsl/T1 router I've ever worked on allows the user to +configure the LAN interface to use fixed IPs which would make things a +whole lot easier for both of you. Just a thought. + +@ Tony - I've also noticed that every entry in /etc/hosts is assigned to +127.0.01 no matter what the actual NIC address is. This is different +from every other distro and is probably a bug, but it should still work +ok unless there are firewall rules that require a name to resolve to a +specific IP address. Hmmm... this might be related to a problem I've +been having... + +Best wishes, Jeff +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="006649.html">[Mageia-discuss] home network using broadband router +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#6648">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#6648">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#6648">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#6648">[ 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> |
