[Dxspider-support] Telnet Help

[Jim Johnson]

Hello Everyone!

After a good amount of time, I have gotten back to the DXSpider system.  
I have upgraded to RH7.2 and DXSpider 1.49.  This is running behind a 
linksys router.  

The node appeared to run fine until I started trying to allow user telnet 
connections.  

With the Linksys you have to disable DHCP and assign an IP address to 
each machine, plus different Lan IP (?) .  (I think) by default the Linksys 
assigned 192.168.1.1 as the Lan IP.  

In RH I used the Network Configurator to disable dhcp and assigned eth0 
address 192.168.1.125.  When I did this RH automatically assigned 
192.168.1.0 as the network address and 255.255.255.0 as the subnet.  

Is Lan IP and Network Address the same?

The DXSpider lost its connection to the internet.  So I presumed that I 
have to change the Lan IP address to 192.168.1.0 on the Linksys.  When 
I tried to do that, I got an error indicating that the Lan IP address had to 
be in the xxx.xxx.xxx.1 to xxx.xxx.xxx.255 range.  

How do you change the network address on RH?  Now I suppose it has 
to be changed to something else?

Anyone have any help here?  Thanks!
