I am deciding to configure one Local Area Network with 10 systems. 9 system has Fedora 4 OS and one fedora 4 server is there. I connected these 10 systems into a hub and i assigned the following static IP address
Server IP Address :192.168.0.5
client1 :192.168.0.6
client2 :192.168.0.7
client3 :192.168.0.8
client4 :192.168.0.9
client5 :192.168.0.10
client6 :192.168.0.11
client7 :192.168.0.12
client8 :192.168.0.13
client9 :192.168.0.14
Subnet mask :255.255.255.0
Now my problem is how the client systems identify which one is server and which one is client. and also i want to control these clients from my server(create users and doamin name).so i want clear step by step explaination . please help me.
