Hello managers. Recently my site had a 56 kb frame relay line and a Cisco
1602 router installed to replace our old dial-up access to the Internet.
The people who paid for this new setup gave me a list of parameters that I
would need to reconfigure my Windows machine to use the router & frame relay
line, and some basic instructions. I have successfully reconfigured my
Windows machines (3.11, '95, NT 4.0) to use this new setup.
So now I'm left with reconfiguring my DEC Alphastation 250 4/266,
running Digital UNIX 4.0B (which is named 'hopland'). Here are the
parameters given to me:
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.224
Gateway: 208.1.177.97
Network IP: 208.1.177.96 (I didn't use this anywhere to reconfigure Windows
TCP/IP)
Available IP addresses: 208.1.177.98 to 208.1.177.126
DNS servers: 128.114.142.6 and 128.114.129.33
domain: uccoopext.edu
host names: hoprec01 through hoprec30
domain suffix search order: uccoopext.edu
I've tried my best to use SysMan to configure the network & BIND setups, but
I don't completely know what I'm doing. While I can now successfully ping &
ftp to and from other computers on the LAN, I can't ping, ftp, or surf to
the outside world, which implies that some part of my network configuration
(such as DNS) has not been done properly. Can anyone out there help me
translate these parameters above into how I should set up my Alpha? Your
help would be greatly appreciated, and I will summarize.
Thank you in advance,
Colin Brooks
Other notes: While I've been given host names 'hoprec01 through hoprec30'
to use, I would like to continue to use 'hopland' as my server name, and
just use hoprec03 as an alias. To that end, I added hoprec03 after hopland
in the 208.1.177.100 line in my hosts file.
Also, my attempts to use the BIND setup has left me with
'hopland.uccoopext.edu' as my Alpha's name. I'm not sure this is supposed
to happen!
