Hi there!

I have a problem - so many questions and no one there with whom to
discuss them:

I have a very nice quality server and around 50 clients in my
school. At that moment the setup is quite nothing: All machines are
connected to hubs/switsches, which are connected to the DSL
modem. This goes also for the server. User authentication goes by one
central user account, which is set up on al machines. No networking
here.

What I want is:

1) Connect the server only to the DSL modem, and througn my 2nd
   Network card all hubs and switches to my server and serve dhcp.

2) Get dhcp to run. I have tried the following rules:

      ddns-update-style none;
      
      default-lease-time 86400;
      max-lease-time 86400;
      
      subnet 10.0.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
      #subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
              range 10.0.1.10 10.0.1.220;
              option domain-name "www.waldorf.lu";
              option domain-name-servers 194.154.192.101, 194.154.192.102;
              option netbios-name-servers 10.0.1.1;
              option netbios-node-type 8;
              option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
              option broadcast-address 10.0.1.255;
              option routers 10.0.1.3;
              }
      
But somehow it doesn't work. I'm not sure about any of these
lines... Especially the "domain-name-servers" line. THe IPs there are
the ones I use with my ISP.

Would the switches/hubs update themselfes? And is it problem if I want
to use the 10.0.0.x range when the switches/hubs use the 192.168.0.x
range?

I also want to run a nameserver on my server and have no idea which
one to choose.

3) I would like to set user accounts in a way that no matter on whihc
   machine a user sits he gets his home directory on the server,
   possibly as an icon on the desktop (clients run Aurox Linux 10.0,
   some few run Windows 2000 or XP).

4) I want to filter content. I guess squid or safesquid would work
   once I'd have solved problems 1) and 2).

Believe me, I have consulted the O'Reilly networking bookshelf, but
somehow it doesn't help me. Could someone out there, plase?

Btw, I run Slackware 10.0 on my server.

Thanks a lot, guys!
