I have two domains, One domain is NT and W2k Only and the other domain is Redhat 7.1 Professional Server and Workstations. I have a NT Server with 2 NICs in it ("one nic onboard and the other nic is a pci 3com nic"). The pci nic is configured withip of 192.168.111.7 sm 255.255.255.0. My Redhat network ips are 10.10.10.x sm 255.255.255.0. My question to you is - Can I setup the onboard NIC in my NT Server with an ip of 10.10.10.20 sm 255.255.255.0 and be able to see my regular network of NT Workstations and also see the Redhat Professional Server? I have Samba already loaded on the Redhat Server. Thanks.

Hi,
Yes u dom that.Yes assign the ip address of 10.10.10.20 sm 255.255.255.0.This card will provide the access to red hat m/c.There will no problem of accessing nt network which is accessable to u through pci nic.Because nt supports multihomed i.e multi nic computers.Even u can move one step further by making ur nt machine as static router so that other nt machines canalso access linux server.U can do that by enablin ip forwarding option present in tcp[/ip properties of each nic and puttingineach nic ,other nic ip address as default gateway.
