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

I keep forgetting that you can get away with that in SBS 2k3 - SBS 2000
didn't like it at all. (And the install doesn't like it much on SBS2k3,
either. )

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?
