Hello,
I could not get the beige box that I am using for my gateway to boot a cd and I couldn't find a way to boot a floppy and install. Long story short, I put the drive in another box and installed choosing one of the nics in that box as the "administrator's" interface when prompted to chose. I also left the default ip set as 192.168.2.100 and left the gateway option set to none and my current network is all 192.168.0.* (wal-mart wireless router and SMC 24 port switch)
I am able to boot to a login prompt with a monitor attached and both of the nics installed show lights when connected to the switch. However, I can't even ping a 192.168.2.100 (maybe dropping ping requests though right?)
I need to get through the initial install so that I can connect the Astaro gateway pc to my modem and my switch below that with my router set to AP only connected to the switch.
I am somewhat familiar with Linux in a general sense but I don't want to compromise this system so I would rather not start playing.
Where do I start?
Thanks in advance for any help you may offer.
