Hey,
Well, days pass, circumstances change. But no better.
I got the hard drive I'd ordered for V's 1.1GHz box (it came
with only a 4GB drive), & I learn that I'd orderd not just a
Maxtor 40GB drive, but "40 GB MAXTOR OR FUJITSU OR SAMSUNG ATA
100; 5400 RPM; 2MB,8.9 ms." Stupd me for not fully reading the
fine print.
Naturally, I got a Fujitsu, & there are problems with various
Fujitsu drives & W2k (see M$ Knowledgebase & posts on the Web).
So, the easiest solution was to give V the P-III 733MHz box I
~was~ working with, as it's pretty stable, & she doesn't need
many "extras" & take the 1.1GHz box for myself & install W98 for
my games.
Meanwhile, I'd asked yet another person about private
networking, & he tells me that as I have a Cisco 675 adsl router,
I can use dhcp on the Win boxes, & the router will assign
addresses.
OK. I assume this is only if a box doesn't use dhcp -- in
other words, the boxes on the lan running static public address
won't be effected, I hope.
Anyway, I suppose I'd turned dhcp off on the router, as the W98
box isn't getting an address & can ping nothing with dhcp. But,
when I assign 10.0.0.3 to it, & make the router the gateway, it
will ping the router, but neither 10.0.0.2 -- the Linux box (I
find that I don't yet have routed running -- though I'd
installed it, I don't find it, so I'll have to reinstall the
routing package), nor can it (naturally, without routed) ping any
public address.
So, with routed & whatever else is required of it (config,
etc), this should start working, right? Am I really on to
something now?
