Greetings!
I know this isn't strictly a fedora issue! But I'm trying to setup (if
possible) an old dlink dl-604 4 port router as a dumb switch/hub.
Basically, all I want to be able to do is plug the device into my
network, and then plug 2-3 additional fedora boxes into the 4ports
I've disabled the dhcp settings on the box:
-set the static ip of the box to be 192.168.5.200
-set the gateway to be 192.168.5.254
-set the dns to be 8.8.8.8 (google)
-turned off every filter I could find
-plug the computers/main eth into the lan ports only
the network for this system/test already uses dhcp on 192.168.5.x
the 1923.168.5.200 isn't used so using it for the box should be ok.
the issue I have, is that I can only see one of the boxes when I plug
both in, as if there's a conflict of some sort. Pluging one or the
otther works, so I know the boxes/eth cards are ok.
Thoughts/comments...
thanks!
============================
The basic setup would be:
dlink :dl-604
eth: 192.168.5.200 <<<<<<+
^
^
dell-1 ^
eth: 192.168.5.14 ----->>> ^
dell-1 ^
eth: 192.168.5.17 ---->>> ^
^
^
^
main eth ------------------------>>>+
I've seen a great deal of 'net articles that state this should be
easily doable. So I'm not sure of what the exact issue is.
Appreciate any pointers/comments..
My only issue with the 604 is slow ports. They saturate quickly. You
may have less issues by not using the router features. I have a 604 and
I had to purchase a switch to watch media over the network on my PS3.
A low priced switch would be worth the cost.
