- Well, I've found a solution to the problems I was having a few weeks ago
- with PC-NFS. It's nothing to do with the boards (as far as I can tell).
-
- Quick summary: we have a mixture of Dell and Packard-Bell 386's which we're
- trying to network using PC-NFS 4.0, using a Sun 3/50 as the server. A few
- weeks ago I asked why my PC appeared to ping hosts before the
- memory-resident part of PC-NFS was installed. In fact, the ping was
- "successful" even if the PC had no ethernet cable connected.
-
- The problem is subnetting. In the CS department here we have a number of
- subnets and we would like to network our PC lab on one of these subnets.
- But it doesn't work - the PC doesn't get any traffic. We've put the PCs on
- the backbone for now which isn't a very elegant solution, especially since
- my office is still on the subnet which makes the PCs difficult to
- administer.
-
- Has anyone out there successfully networked PCs with PC-NFS on a subnet?
- Did you get the same problems that I did? How did you get it working?
-
- Cheers,
