Ok I know this is OT, but I would like to try to use them for D/C. Someone just gave me 2 servers, One is a p90 with os2 on it, i think it has 96 meg ram, not sure though. It is an IBM pc server 320. The other one is a compuke model 3000 systempro with novell. Not sure of the speed or the ram in it.
I guess my basic ? is will I have to set them up as the servers for my other pcs, or can I just set them to look for my nat32 ip?

This is the first time I have had a server in my house so don't make to much fun of me😉


Thx all
 
Just because someone once called it a server doesn't mean anything.
Just treat it as any other computer and have it look to your NAT.
 
they are from a bank that my brother-n-law keeps the network running. Plus they are about 3-4 feet tall. So that would leave me to think that they r indeed servers🙂

Plus I know nothing about os2 or novell, any ideas how to set the ip?


Thx
 
you could possibly load windows on there, but i don't knwo about driver support 😛

The Cube needs all the power it can get, we need about a million blocks to pull into 44th 😉
 
don't want to go that far yet, if possible. They run ok now I just need some help setting them up, ip addressing that is. Like I said I am Stupid when it comes to os2 and novell.

Thx

I don't think IBM ever made OS2 into a server OS (OS2 is a workstation OS similar to Win3.1/Win9.x).

Novell NetWare is a proprietor OS and its administration tool is very nice & easy to use compare to Winblows NT4 or 2K. You can try to stick with Netware & learn something if you need a server (might want to look at Linux), otherwise I would turn the puters into routers or RC5 crakers.

 
The dead-set easiest way to get them cracking is to use Klinux. If they have a floppy drive and a network card, they have everything they need.

Download the Client.
Read the instructions.

Post your questions about klinux in this forum after reading the instructions.

Most of the little problems I had came about because I didn't read and then reread the instructions. Kilowatt is such a dude though, that he even forgives that and helps you anyway 🙂
