Step by step for installing network?

Post by Allen O'Nei » Wed, 03 Jun 1998 04:00:00



Hi,

can anyone tell me if there is a step by step for installing Linux on a
network?

I have a 25 user network, presently running Netware 3.12. PCs are a
mixture of Dos/W95/WFW3.11.

I have been asked by client to check out fesability of using Linux
instead of Netware for new site next month, using similar hardware.

This will be a structured network (3com switching hub), not shared, using
3Com 3c59x 10bit cards on clients and 10/100 auto-sensing on linux
server.

So! ...

Having just got RH 4.2 up and running (albiet without XWindows, but I
dont really need it...), I am stumped as to where to go next, and yes, I
have read the Howto's and FAQs on my distribution CD.

Has anyone gone thru this who can give me the basics of where to start.
what to watch for, etc?


Many thanks,

Allen.

Cancel the support force !!

- We were using a standard 3com ISA card that worked fine in W95/Novell
setup - removed it and replaced with PCI and bang - the things working!

Your situation sounds perfect for the book "Linux Networking Toolkit"by Sery.

I used it to set up my first network (my W95 box and a RH5.0 Linux
box as file server).

1. Step-by-step instructions to set up 2 computer home network?

Hi,

I read the networking HOWTO and it was vague on the actual steps to
take to setup a home network with linux. I have a Linksys 10/100 hub and
want to network two home computers together. Occasionally one of
these will be dialed in and using PPP to access the internet. I'm
looking for a book or HOWTO with detailed step by step instructions
on how to set this up. This should include how to choose network
and host names and addresses. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Charlie
