Plz reply..whether it is possible or not?
HELLO GUYS,

How u all guys doing?Recently I brought a system and installed Red Hat Linux in it. I have also got a network card. My question is can i connect NIC to my system and use it as a client? I really don't want to buy another system.
I want to use this computer/system both as server and a client.
can some tell me how do we set up in such a way?

Thanks in advance.

yes, you can put the network card in your system. you can also run server and client programs on your system. unix is multitasking, you can have apache running in the background serving pages, while you browse the web at the same time.

Thanks
Thanks for your reply,
can u explain a little clearly?Can I give a new IP address to client?It seems you are pretty intelligent..so my next doubt is...I have a hardware raid on my system.I have one more hard disk connected to it.I want to mirror a /boot directories on each system,So that If one hard disk fails, the BIOS can recognise to boot from other hard disk.I know It is possible but I heard it is complicated.How do you do it?Just like mirroring other file systems?

a new ip address to the client? i am not really sure about what you are asking. you are talking about one machine right ?

are you saying that you want outbound connections on one device and incoming on another? you can assign one IP to one NIC. you can have multiple NICs in your machine, and you can set up your routing so outbound goes out on one NIC and you can have your daemons listening on the other.

as for your RAID question, go to tldp.org and search for RAID. configuring your setup depends on if your using software raid, or hardware, and to be honest i have never set up a mirroring raid, so i would have to learn how to do it myself.

but thats whats great about computers and the internet, you can teach your self EVERYTHING you need to know. so go to tldp.org and search for raid, and if you still dont find your answer search google. someone here also who has more experience with RAID setups than i, can better help you.
