Fedora9 5-NIC's Serving I-net to WinXp
Im trying to use a CISCO WiFi-BRIDGE and Fedora9 to connect to an I-net connection down the road. Then use the Fedora box to route the connection to 4-Xp workstations using the remaining 4 NIC's in the box.

My paln is to eventually connect my home network/I-net to my work network 1.5miles down the road. (Clear line of sight)

At this time I can only see the I-net on the Fedora box and CAN-NOT see the wired Window's network at all.

I have played with several flavors of UNIX for years but have never had a lot of luck doing anything but the basics. So YES I would call myself a newbe to the OS.

Some of my attempts included a "Run from CD" Unix Server but I could never get that to do anything but boot and see my NIC's.

I expect this to be a longer answer than a Forum has to offer so if anyone can just point me in a direction I'll try to take it from there.

Thanks every one!

Application Serving

Hi, I'm fairly new to UNIX and am looking at the potential of using UNIX servers as Application Servers (similar to what is done by Citrix Metaframe and Terminal Services in windows) does anyone know whether this is possible or am I firing in the dark? Thanks. (1 Reply)

eshconfig

ESHCONFIG(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      ESHCONFIG(8)

NAME

     eshconfig -- configure Essential Communications' HIPPI network interface

SYNOPSIS

     eshconfig [-estx] [-b bytes] [-c bytes] [-d filename] [-i usecs] [-m bytes] [-r bytes] [-u filename] [-w bytes] [interface]

DESCRIPTION

     eshconfig is used to configure device-specific parameters and download new firmware to the Essential Communications RoadRunner-based HIPPI
     network interface.  The interface is very sensitive to the DMA performance characteristics of the host, and so requires careful tuning to
     achieve reasonable performance.  In addition, firmware is likely to change frequently, which necessitates a reasonably easy way to update
     that firmware.

     Available operands for eshconfig:

     -b bytes
	     Adjust the burst size for read (by NIC of host memory) DMA.

     -c bytes
	     Adjust the burst size for write (by NIC of host memory) DMA.

     -d filename
	     Filename for file to download into NIC firmware.  This must be a file in the standard Essential format, with :04 preceding every
	     line, and a tag line at the end indicating the characteristics of the firmware file.

     -e      Write data to EEPROM.  Normally, setting tuning parameters will only persist until the system is rebooted.  Setting this parameter
	     ensures that the changes will be written to EEPROM.

     -i usecs
	     Interrupt delay in microseconds.

     -m bytes
	     Minimum number of bytes to DMA in one direction (read or write) before allowing a DMA in the other direction.  Tuning this prevents
	     one direction from dominating the flow of bytes, and artificially throttling the NIC.

     -r bytes
	     Bytes before DMA starts for read (from host to NIC).  This controls how soon the DMA is triggered;  until this many bytes are
	     requested, the DMA will not begin.

     -s      Show statistics for the HIPPI NIC.  Repeat the option to suppress non-zero statistics.

     -t      Show current tuning parameters on the host.

     -u filename
	     Name of file to which the NIC firmware should be uploaded.  Not currently supported.

     -w bytes
	     Number of bytes required before write (from NIC to host) DMA is started.  Until this many bytes are ready to be written, the DMA will
	     not start.

     -x      Reset the NIC.  This is necessary for the HIPPI-FP support, as ifconfig(8) will no longer physically reset the NIC when the inter-
	     faces goes up and down.

     Only the super-user may modify the configuration of a network interface.

DIAGNOSTICS

     Messages indicating the specified interface does not exist or the user is not privileged and tried to alter an interface's configuration.

SEE ALSO

     esh(4), ifconfig(8)

HISTORY

     The eshconfig command first appeared in NetBSD 1.4.
