I'm Installing the Novell 6.5 OS and it comes to the part to configure my boards, and it asks for protocol IP.
I will be using one board which will be connected to my router for internal connections, and the other will be connected to my DSL modem. I don't have a static IP. Can anyone help me what to put in these fields,
Protocol
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Router Gateway

Thank you very much in advance

Hi gengenbach,

no chance !!!
If you don't have a static ip, it's a dial up connection and you have to authenticate with username and password, to establish the dsl connection.
So you need a dsl driver for netware.
But there is not dsl driver for netware :-( .
You have to use a dsl router to manage this.

NW Server --> DSL-Router --> DSL-Modem --> Internet

Let's say, you're using 192.168.0.0/24 for the internal network and 10.0.0.0/8 for external network.
The router has the ip address 10.0.0.1
The nic for external network should have 10.0.0.2 (or any other from 10.0.0.2 - 10.0.0.254)
Gateway is the router address (10.0.0.1)

That's it.

I hope, it helps a bit...

Paul

Paul Thank you for your response. Does the router also need to be setup with those IP protocols? Will this type of setup also work for VPN or remote access?
Thank you,
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

1.
Yes, the router, see the example above, should get the ip address 10.0.0.1 Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0, for the LAN interface.
The WAN interface gets it's ip from your ISP.

The server has to know, where it can find domains from the internet.
So you have to configure the standard gateway. For the server, the next hop is the router, so the gateway address is 10.0.0.1 (the router).

Everything, the server can not find locally, will be switched to the router and the router forwards it to its gateway, and that's your ISP.

2.
Normally the router does not handle VPN directly.
Most routers can do a port forwarding for the VPN connection.
There is normally a preconfigured rule for it and you have to to use this rule to forward VPN to the internal VPN server.

I hope, that helps.

Paul
