Hello, Can anyone tell me If Im doing wrong or If Im in good path?

Anyone who can help me I will give him 1 GB of free space with PHP Latest, MYSQL, SSL, and mail, ftp.


This is what I have:

-5 static IPs with 2 DNS

-My ISP gave me a LAN Router with its default address

-I put a Router which will conect to the LAN Router and will assign my first static IP to the router

-That router will have a Ethernet Hub/Switch which will have a Windwos PC which will serve as a DHCP Server and assign other Windows PCs with automatic addresses.

Ok, here comes my question, I have a Red Hat 8.0 PC which I want to put them in the above network, if the above net is correct, and assign the rest of the IPs to serve as a web server, mail, ftp, and ssh server.

Please help me, Im very excited because I have 5 static IPs


Thank you!!

What type of router is this. An ordinary router that won't do NAT, or one that does NAT and hides your internal IPs? If it is the latter then you might be have to call your ISP and tell them they goofed or you will have to do some addition configuration of your router to get the public IPs mapped into the inside.

Thanks for your time, no no, they just gave me a Lan router. I just made a Network map drawing of what I have in mind that's all, but My ISP gave me the LAN Router.

Will anyone help figure it out, or help me build a network to have a LINUX server installed with the 5 IPs in exchange of 1 up to 2 GB of space?

mithras,

How are you connecting to your ISP (DSL, T1)? What's the make and model of your uplink router (LAN Router doesn't seem to be the right term). If your not specific, we can't be specific

-I put a Router which will conect to the LAN Router and will assign my first static IP to the router

I can't quite wrap my head around this one. What router connects to your ISP, and what is the other one doing? Post the network map. It might help us understand what you're trying to do with your config.

Have fun,
chris

-My ISP gave me a LAN Router with its default address
Whic uplink router you have.

-I put a Router which will conect to the LAN Router and will assign my first static IP to the router

Which router you wanna plan here.

Certainly a newtwok map will help.
Thanks,

Do you mean your ISP gave you a cable modem and you have connected your router to that cable modem?

hello, ok here it goes again:

I contracted Road Runner Broadband Services, they gave me 5 static IPs. The came to my home and gave me a router which conects to the internet. I have to Windows PCs which want them to be conected to the internet and I have also a RH8.0 PC which I plan to setup as a Web, ftp, mail and ssh server. Any Ideas

Please post the make and model of this router, that would make it easier for us to determine what kind of router it is.

It's quite possible all you need is a hub or switch, once everyone knows exactly what you're talking about . If you've got only three pc's and 5 static IP's can't see any need for setting up a dhcp server/device.

Ohh ok, got it, one more question, so I have a PC with RH8.0, when I try to access a php file from my web file directory, I inly see the text in php and not the file in action. I have install the latest version of PHP, how can I start using the PHP? Thanks

:-) offering space with php, but not configured, eh..

you have to add a document type for php in your apache.conf .. you can google for that and i'm sure you'll find these two lines to add somewhere..


..now, do i get 20mb /w ssh+ftp connect? :P

first of all unless you want to set up the other computers as web servers you don't need more than one static IP address. You go into the router setup and set the "port forward" option: forward port 80 to the server computer. (this works best with manually assigned IP addresses on the local area network, so that the forward address does not have to change every time the comp reboots)

If you want to keep the 5 static IP setup then all you need is a switch: plug each computer and the modem into it and set each computer's IP address to one of the static IPs you got from your ISP. The bad part about this is security: Each of your computers can be attacked from anywhere on the web, and unless you install firewall software on each machine (which is a bother) you are very velnerable.

Also for PHP RedHat 8.0 already comes with it enabled, but the document must have a .php extention or else it will not be processed.

Thanks for your support, I will make the configurations neccessary, and will give the host to the ones who help me. Thanks

It looks like whoever helps gets a GB of "free" space on a web server, but that person also has to be the sysadmin for the webserver and offer free tech support.

I like the business model, man. I may do the same.

ok ok , Road Runner gave you a CABLE MODEM. Most likely a Toshiba. And you are attaching it to a router to distribute the web service available to that single static IP address assigned to that CABLE MODEM throughout the network? Well, I hope your ROUTER , also has firewall capabilities. You will simply attach you RH PC to the network , let DHCP resolve the RH PC and then forward port 80 to the ip address or your RH PC. Make sure your leases do not expire from you windows PC.

Hope this provides a little clarification.

Now, what in the hell do yo plan to do with 5 ip addresses and ONE server. Save some money and simple use virutal hosts for multiple domains..... next chapter....
