[NTLUG:Discuss] Help on replacing My Wingate Server

[Ray Foley]

Ok I have gotten a little help from David and I thank
Him but I am still spinning my wheels. He suggested
that I read the NAG (Network Admin Guide) and
that was a great suggestion but now I realize how
uneducated I am in doing the IP Masqurading.
The main problem that I see is that there are hundereds
of ways of doing the same thing. I need one exact step
for step way of doing this. The parameters that I have
are that I already have static IP's assigned to each of
my workstations which I found out I must keep due to
to applications that I use for work that don't like to
have the IP address Dynamicly assigned. I also want one
single server of my three to do an automatic dialup just like
the dialup adapter does in Windoze. I have been through
several PPP configs and now I'm more confused. Can
someone start from a brand new install of ReadHat 6.0 install
that comes from the CD that we get from Linux Central and
step me through what I need to have for a basic install to do
these tasks. I can start from the basic install at any time and
rebuild my servers any why I need to. I know SAMBA well
enough to get around that setup and just need to get over this
hill --- mountain so I can meet some basic objectives for work
this year. This Info will also be taught to the beginners in the
beginners group. The books Including NAG give to many
examples of to many ways to do the same thing.
While this makes for a great overall book, I am a beginner
that knows only what he has tinkered with and I need lots of
detail from start to finish. I think I speak for most beginners
in this matter.
