[sf-lug] my linux notes

Tue Sep 28 23:31:28 PDT 2010

HI to All!
I'm just enclosing a file which I've started on 20th of May in 2008. They are 
basic notes on my Linux (Ubuntu) adventures. Maybe some can be handy for you, 
tips and tricks are appreciated. Or even better share your ones!

Sincerely,

Frantisek

(10.04)  convention range of IP addresses dedicated to the machines on the 
network: 3-10 printers 11-49 administrator 50-99 student computers 200-248 ??  
DHCP server claims probably between 100-149  Manual configuration of the IP 
addresses of the computers  type the ifconfig command for the information about 
your network interfaces ifconfig  configure your IP address to value 50->  sudo 
ifconfig eth 192.168.1.50  check that IP was chenged by repeating the ifconfig 
command ifconfig  if IP changed, connect the computer to the router by RG44 
jack/Ethernet cable  ping the router, IP probably 192.168.1.1 ping 192.168.1.1   
cancel the process by control + c and continue further if the connection is 
established  set up the IP on second computer: sudo ifconfig etc 192.168.1.51  
check the change by ifconfig and ping the router  ping the first computer from 
the second computer (192.168.1.51) ping 192.168.1.50  connect the printer 
through the graphical interface to the one of the printers and set it up as a 
printing server.   Next week I hope to the the command line options on 
connecting the printers and sharing the printer from several computers.
