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

Charlie I worked it out. It was so simple in the end. All I did was add a
third network card to the server configured to a free IP on the unix system
and now the clients get both.

The router would go between the main network and the UNIX network.

Normally, your broadband router does not receive an IP address from your SBS
box. SBS should only do DHCP on the internal (LAN) NIC in a 2 NIC network.
Your UNIX box would then sit downstream (logically) of the LAN network, and
would have the new router as the default gateway. (This is true even if it
is on the same _physical_ network segment as the main network - you need to
treat it as if it were on a separate physical segment.

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?
