Re: Home Network



Also, something wrong here. I can't reach your public IP of 83.86.0.1.

This link works, but your diagram leaves much to the imagination. Mine at
least.

Q: You have a router you say is running DHCP and is routing between the
public IP network of 83.86.0.1 and the private IP network of
192.168.100.1. Where did the "other network" public IPs of 83.86.100.1 and
.2 come from? I would expect your Windows PC and your Linux Server to
have a 192.168.100.x IP (either static or assigned via DHCP). Are these
boxes dual homed? (two NICs each?)

Q: You say "i can reach the router via the local ip adrress 192.168.100.1
but there is not much i can configure on it." What does that mean? Can
you configure the outside interface IP, the inside interface IP and the
DHCP services to pass out a range of IPs? What range is DHCP configure to
pass out to the clients (your PC and Unix box, presumably). If you want
static IPs on your Windows and Unix box, why are you running DHCP?

Q: How are you "connecting" to your ftp server, exactly. By IP? By name?
Is you Linux box running DNS? Are you using host files for name
resolution?

Q: How do you know your ftp is taking the Internet route? What are you
viewing that tells you that?

You ask: "how can i set it up that it takes the shortest route.(directly
through the switch)"

Hard to tell without knowing more. But I would offer that you should try
putting the local address of your machines into each of their hosts files
so you can use the host file as the name server. FTPing by IP should
already be taking the shortest route (if they are on the same network -
which I can't tell by your diagram).

Also, I recommend providing the exact IP config of your two machines here.
You can do this on your Windows machine by going to a command line and
typing ipconfig /all > ipconfig.txt. This will write the output to a text
file you can post here. I forget what the command for the same info is on
the Linux box, but you should be able to find it (or know it I guess).

Hi everybody,


Im having some problems setting up my home network and im hoping
someone can help me out.


My set up as descibred in the diagram : One Windows XP pc and an
Ubuntu

server connected to a switch, a cable modem/router with dhcp also
connected to the same switch, providing both the PC and the Server
with

an internet IP adrress.


i can reach the router via the local ip adrress 192.168.100.1 but
there

is not much i can configure on it.


On the server i have ftp server running and if i connect to it via the
pc it takes the route via the internet. (the long way obviosly), Now
my

question is how can i set it up that it takes the shortest
route.(directly through the switch)


can anyone help me?
