I had my folding farm setup using a router and a couple of hubs to hook to the internet, so the individual boxes could send and retrive work units from Stanford.
this consists of one windows box running ME and 11 boxes running SUSE 8.2 Linux. All were folding and this system has worked for months.
the Cable modem hooked to a Linksys router which was hooked up to the main two boxes that i work with, and the hubs and the other boxes. two weeks ago the farthest down the line boxes quit being able to connect to the internet. by the next day the second set of four boxes had quit accessing. then the two main boxes were the only things that could connect.
by friday night there was no access at all, spent all day saturday reconfiguring and replacing pieces and parts and nothing would work. working with the Cable One tech support got the one windows box to go on line.
However I could not get any other boxes to go online, nor could I use the router. And if I turned the Windows box off I had to reconfigure it to work every time i went back on.
Replaced the router and no luck, rewired and reconfigured and no luck, then the windows box refused access to go on line and cannot get it to talk to the modem.
Spent all day sunday getting this one box to reprogram and work on line, have spent the last week and a half trying to get the routers to work between the box and the modem.
if I hook it in then I can not get it to work, no matter what i tried, and the cable company is useless in helping as when I said Linux it said that it did not support Linux and all they could do is tell me that they could see the modem and that something was hooked to it
I have this box hooked to the modem and working. it is using a router card as eth0 and the rest of the system (except the windows box) is hooked into this card also.
How doI get the computer to act as a hub and allow the other boxes to use it to access the internet. I know very little about Linux and nothing about networks.
The software that came with the hub is for windows, but the linux setup found it by actual name and installed it, This card and the other card just like it worked and forwarded everything when I hooked them up originally and was no problem.
Now I can not get anything to forward at all.
PLEASE can someone give me the easy to follow instructions or point me to a site that a noobie can follow to get this working.
It's driving me nuts to know that the good boxes are sitting here doing nothing when there is work completed on them and more to be done and no way to communicate with the server.
