Re: Unix and SBS - using different IP ranges, but both provide app

Sorry guys bare with me. My current set up: Two servers: SBS (DHCP) & Unix. I
have a router for broadband, this is connected to the SBS. (I have two
network cards in the server)
Network Card one - connects broadband router to server.
Network Card Two- card is connected to the main network.

SBS is the DHCP server, thus the router - on network card 1- has been
assigned an address. Network card 2 has been manually set up 192.168.13.1.

Client computers - can receive SBS & broadband when its network card is told
to receive an IP automatically; it receives the application from the unix
server when the client computer is set up manually into the unix server IP
range.

Currently investigating the cost of changing the unix server IP range.

I am a bit of a novice, so could you explain about the router e.g. where to
place it in the network, type of router, how would it work and so forth.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Either move the UNIX machine into a private address space and on the same
subnet as the SBS server, or get a router. But also ensure that your UNIX
machine has a legal right to use the IP address it's using. That is NOT one
of the private address ranges, so if it ever got directly connected to the
internet, it could be a problem if it isn't your address.

The unix server uses 165.13.***.** and the SBS uses 192.168.***.***. I
remebering hearing there was a way. I was trying to do it using the tcp/ip
config (local connection properties) on the client network cards to
receive both.

For example, in XP, if you set the IP to obtain automatically you get a
second tab saying alternate configuration, where you can set another IP;
needless to say, it did not work.

Multihoming - sorry whats that?

What range is used by the UNIX server? (And even SCO boxes aren't all
THAT hard to change the IP address, I might add.)

Ok, so there is no way of bridging (so to speak) these different IP
ranges on SBS.

The reason why I didn't put it on the same IP range as the unix server
is because , correct me if im wrong, the range used is not a private
range. When I did it on the wizard is said 'this is not a private
address blah blah'.

You need to change the IP of the SBS network to be in the same range as
the UNIX box. Use the wizard, please!

Then, if yoiu need NFS access, install SFU 3.5. Do a custom install and
only install exactly what you need. So if it's your clients that need
access, then only install it on the clients, please. I wouldn't run
Server for NFS on the SBS box - it's a bit of a resource hog and that
box is busy enough already. But do put your User Name Mapping there.

For help and support on SFU, see
microsoft.public.servicesforunix.general. I'm there every day, as are
others.

Just installed a SBS using an IP range of 192.168., while currently on
the network a unix server provides a crucial business application,
however, the unix server is using a different IP range.
How can a client computer on SBS have access to the application on the
unix server?
