RE: (OT) configuring for router

[Dawes, Stephen]

No, you should be able to disable the dhcp on the router so that you do
not need to change your current network card configurations.

Don't do more then you need to.

RE: (OT) configuring for router

[Cheryl Homiak]

I don't know how you'd disable the dhcp on the router. this thing is just 
a little box with five ports in it--one where you plug the cable modem in 
and four for ethernet cables. No controlls, etc.

RE: (OT) configuring for router

It's a router.  I have never incountered one which does not have an 
interface of some sort.  Frequently, for the small ones, you either 
telnet, or more likely, go via web, to an internal server on some class C 
IP address, such as 192.168.0.1. You will then log in with the information 
provided in the router documentation, at which point you may make changes 
to the router's configuration.

I don't remember if you told us what brand it is, but many routers
have a web style interface and you can use a web browser to connect to

Re: (OT) configuring for router

[Travis Siegel]

Some of the current routers have a telnet interface for configuring,
and/or a serial link for configuration.  My 3com 24-port hubs have both
telnet and serial, all depends on what you want to use.

Re: (OT) configuring for router

Perhaps they had telnet interfaces?  We have a few newer types that only 
have telnet interfaces.  I forget the manufacture of the one we use for 
the SDSL link, but it is D-Link or Netgear, and only sports a telnet 
interface.

Re: (OT) configuring for router

or 192.168.0.201, some d-links are like that.  Or, look for the default
gateway in your network configuration.  That'll be where you must go.

Re: (OT) configuring for router

[Cheryl Homiak]

Hi all.
The person who brought this and tried it says it's 192.168.2.1; is that 
unusual or not?
I hat tried ssh and telnet but not lynx; I'll try that.
I also thought some configuration had to be done; with all due respect, i 
think this person is just used to doing it with a windows interface and 
wasn't really separating the necessary steps from the method when I 
conversed with him.

is it a lager router? because most of the stuff geared towards the 
average home luser uses a web interface rather then telnet. I've seen 
some netgears that offer web, telnet, rlogin, and ftp interfaces. 
quite nice.

What kind of router is it?  b/c on Linksys boxes, depending on what model, 
their's a set of checkboxes or radio buttons that will allow you to 
disable the DHCP server.  Probably under Setup or  some other link.

on my linksys router it's under a link called dhcp. that also gives

RE: (OT) configuring for router

Cheryl, 
If it is a router and not a hub, you can most likely configure it using
a Web Browser. I am not familiar with zonenet, but linksys certainly
allows you to do this.

Did you get any documentation with the router? If not, have you tried to
find documentation at the makers of the router's Web site?

(OT) configuring for router

[Cheryl Homiak]

Hi.
I just got a router (zonenet) and I've never had a router before. The 
person who brought it knows nothing about linux. What do I need to read or 
where can I find information on how to configure my 
/etc/network/interfaces for the router. We plugged the router in but while 
it showed data, my computer didn't go online. for one thing, the only dhcp 
server running should be on the router so obviously I have to change my 
/etc/network/interfaces.
I did try looking this up on google but I kept running into stuff about 
_building_ a router in linux instead of what i want to know. Any help or 
referral to information would be most deeply appreciated!!! I'm posting 
this here because I often don't get lists back from debian lists and I'm 
afraid that on mostly sighted lists people will be doing some kind of 
configuration with X.
Thanks.
