Dear all:modem,
I use ubuntu 8.10 and it is really nice when I connect to wire or usb
since it can automatically do the network setting.
But I have one question:
Can I both have 2 networks, wired and usb modem at same time?
Such that I can treat my ubuntu 8.10 as a server.
Normally I use ssh to connect to it and if I find I need to update some
package I can apt-get directly whithout unplugin the usb modem.
Thanks for your help,
sofian
Of course you can. Linux is designed to handle multiple networks
(really any OS is, but...).
The caveat being that the networks need to be different IP subnets. You
can't have both networks in the '192.168.0.X' range. (Well you can, but
for simplcity's sake, let's not.)
If one network is 192.168.1.X and the other is 192.168.2.X, then you
shouldn't have any trouble routing between them.
I guess the main question here is which one will be the default gateway
to the internet? I would make the 'wired' one the default for internet
traffic, then if that goes down, you can have all internet traffic fail
over to the modem (using a higher preference) if you want.
Make sense?
thanks for your help.
The ubuntu will automatically change the connection when I plug usb modem or
RJ45.
That means, if I originally use usb modem connect to the Internet then plug
in the wire line, Ubuntu will run autoeth0 and my usb modem will disconnect.
I previously uss ubuntu 7.10, which is not as nice as 8.10, and use vodafine
usbmodem driver to connect to the internet.
I can use 2 networks without changing the ip address, one is assigned by ISP
and another is set by myself, 192.168.1.100.
So, I have to manually configure the ip to make them under the same domain?
appreciate your help,
sofian
